That has got to be one of t... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Just Me | May 18, 2005 4:14 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
That has got to be one of the nastiest toilets I have ever seen. Don't they have clorox or lysol?
As for the test, it appears a whole book, isn't flushable. Now who got the fun job of reaching in and pulling it out of that toilet ewwwww.

Thanks for the link to this item - fantastic. I noted on SilentRunning that I hope that they didn't break any EPA laws by flushing the FAT MANS book!

Ye Gods, they're rioting already in Beverly Hills. And this without Newsweek.

My only concern is that they're attempting to flush the crap in the wrong direction, as in, should be top down.

Wouldn't it work better if they ripped it up and flushed it a couple of pages at a time?
And yeah, some bleach and a toilet brush might be in order.

I'm having difficulty believing that anyone would see fit to post photos across the internet of such a nasty-ass toilet bowl without some kind of disclaimer . . . "Not my toilet, nope, just visiting!"
*shudder*

Don't know which would clog it worse, the book or a genuine Michael Moore "log".

People people, let's be sensitive to the cultural differences among us! This loo could be quite typical in Australia, and you're unintentionally creating cultural riffs between us -- why, you might as well mis-spell KORAN!

For flushing a book by Michael Moore, it would be more appropriate to use the bar toilet in the movie "Desperado". This toilet is pristine compared to that one.
