Bathroom Wizards

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

I do not have any actual statistical or factual evidence of this, but at least through my personal experiences, I've found that European countries have always been farther along than us when it comes to b-room design, particulary in the field of urinals. 

(If you've traveled overseas at all in recent years, you don't need me to enlighten you on the greatness of the imprinted insect).

I bring this up because I can't help but be both amused and amazed at Europe's next great contribution: the P-Tree, an invention released by the Dutch design team AANDEBOOM. 

Strap it onto any tree or shrubbery at a summer concert or weekend festival and voila: instant access at your disposal (pun intended).

No more Porta-potties, no more Shawshank renditions, no more claustrophobia. Just a simple, yet genius way to let yourself go. 

Word to that and your Glastonbury beer belly.
