It's Better If You Just Don't Make Eye Contact

Parisians are not pleased at the city's new very public urinals, which are not in bathrooms but are right out in the open. You -- assuming you're a man and in Paris and have to pee -- go up to what looks like a large trash can (filled with hay, because it's eco-friendly and is supposed to compost the mess), unzip, stick yourself in the opening, and whizz away. It's rather public, and rather unpleasant, and rather unsanitary considering you can't wash your hands there. But proponents point out that it beats people peeing on the street, which, absent adequate facilities, they do. Take a look at the pictures and ask yourself if you want that in your city, and if not, what should be done to provide more places for people -- men and women both -- to do their business. (BBC)
