"Misogynist" Austrian urinals flushed out to eBay

VIENNA (Reuters) - Four urinals shaped like a woman's lips went on
sale on eBay on Thursday after being removed from a public toilet in
Vienna following protests from women's groups who said they were
sexist.

Designed by Viennese artist Rudolf Scheffel for the "toilet-bar
Vienna" next to the National Opera, the urinals featured lips covered
in red, orange or blue lipstick, a bright red tongue and gleaming
white teeth.

The urinals were in the toilets for three years but raised an outcry
in the run-up to Austria's October 1 parliamentary election when they
were used by political party supporters attending rallies nearby.

Women's rights campaigners described the urinals as sexist and
misogynist. They will be restored to their original condition before
being sold, the toilet's operator said on auction Web site eBay.
