VIENNA - 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 Oct. 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. “Each urinal will, of course, be meticulously cleaned,” the seller said. “The artist himself will sandblast it, brush the mouth’s teeth, and give them a new varnish.”
STUART, Fla. - A man entered a home and licked the toe of a sleeping woman over the weekend, police said. The man reportedly licked the woman's left big toe while she was sleeping early Sunday, the Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers reported. The woman was sleeping next to her husband, who chased the suspect from the house and down the street. The suspect was wearing a black, hooded sweat shirt, white shorts and white shoes.
BATESVILLE, Ark. - Police knew this Bill wasn't authentic. A man has been arrested for trying to use a $100 bill with no president's face and the name of former President Clinton.
The man, who has not been identified, was arrested Friday after trying to use the bill to buy cigarettes at a Batesville gas station. "The bill was unmistakably fake due to the fact that the ink was running on the bill, the president's face was missing and for the president's name, it had the name Clinton on it," said Deputy Nathan Stephens. The sheriff's office expects to file counterfeiting charges against the suspect, authorities said. "Of all the cases I've worked with phony money, this is the sorriest bill I've ever seen," Lt. Brenda Bittle said.
