I don't know why women would be offended, the urinals look like Mick Jagger's lips, its enough to make a guy wish that a wall with a basin on the floor below it was still the German version of a urinal.

I'm curious as to why this would be offensive to women, seeing as they have no place being in a Men's room to begin with!

Well, looks like we have two points of view. If you think it looks like a woman's mouth, you'll aim better and the bathroom will stay clean. On the other hand, if people think it looks like Mick Jagger, they'll wind up peeing on the wall. Seriously though, there's a European firm that makes a urinal with a realistic image of a fly printed inside - men usually aim at it and splash less.

I think the urinals are actually pretty cool, not offensive at all. They should design something for the ladies room. lol
