I just read in the newspaper that in Europe the owner of a restaurant had to remove an artistic designed urinal, shaped like a mouth with red lips after a complaint of an American tourist.

(please no discussions about this article, or behaving like quests in another country, just look at the next question [I hope I formulated it careful enough so Yahoo will not remove it, I know kids are here as well], and remember it's posted in humor...)

IF I GIVE SH*T TO MY TOILET, WOULD YOU CONSIDER THAT A BAD THING?

Americans are no more prudish than people in any other country. That incident is only one example of how differently people react to certain things. But let's not assume all Americans would be offended by the same thing.

Answer to second question:
No, better in a toilet than somewhere else.

Answer to the first question, even though you said that you do not really want one (Americans are not prudish, but we are outspoken!):
I thought that I was the only prudish American! I dislike most American television & cinema because of the way they portray everyone as having no moral restraints & running around half-naked. But even I would not be so prudish as to comment on something as such as the design of a vase such as that. I know that there is a difference between Art & obscenity. It not like it was shaped like a pe*is or anything! They probably disapprove of Wedgwood china, too.

Many American citizens are prudish. When Ashcroft was the Attny. General, he had two statues draped (The Spirit of Justice and The Majesty of Law) because he was offended by nudity.

A urinal shaped like a mouth sounds hysterically funny. When 'ya gotta go' who cares what the toilet looks like.

Americans are very extremely prudish, while also being very irrespective crude & vulgar. that same cpl most likely tells off color jokes at their backyard parties and then gets indignant about something in someone elses backyard. let alone a bathroom. in germany mens urinalsare usually the bathroom wall.

Excuse us if we have a little respect. Some people have sex on their minds 24/7. There is more to life you know.

I would not, I would congratulate you on good digestion. But yes, America is painfully puritanical and prudish.
