need i say more to this open air urinal with NO WALLS??????? you heard me. no walls, no room, no ceiling, no door. nothing! as if they were open air phone booths. apparently, yes, i need to elaborate because it gets even better!
i was taking pretty pictures a few days ago, then i saw these. if anyone took a picture of my expression, it would be a crystal clearly focused photo with me looking grossed out but not surprised. then, i smiled because it’s so magnificently silly. france can shine with silly magnificence that way. noteworthy here: there’s a small playground for kids just NEXT to the urinals. the pic was taken from a small public alleyway that leads to a river (l’alene) and just next to the urinals is a house (they’re *lucky* enough to have a view of the backs of dudes peeing.) and people wonder why everyone makes fun of france!
just can’t be helped.

hahaha- you did make me laugh! Obviously you haven’t been in London’s SOHO !!! The urinals are there in the middle of the street- all over at weekends and big happening. Yes. Broad day light- mobile,plastic urinals in the heart of the city. Civilized 21st century European country???????? with streams of sick , urine used condoms etc on the street?? Don’t be so shocked- worse is here- come and take some more photos- make a documentary.

Comment by Andrew 11.24.08 @ 2:29 pmGuys will use these things if they’re there. They would be facing away from anyone passing by, so it’s no big deal. It’s better than peeing in the street.
Comment by Francois 09.30.09 @ 8:53 pm[...] Open Air Urinals which really sums up the site. There is plenty of serious stuff as well but with enough of a tongue in cheek element so that it doesn’t just become another French News site. [...]
