The Toilet House

The writer’s strike has ended! We struck a deal and got our crack staff (or is that “staff on crack”?) to cross the picket lines. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Pings.

Today’s Ping is a doozy, courtesy of longtime Pinger Dr. David Walls, Esq. He points us to the amazing South Korean toilet house, an abode that’s shaped like a 24 1/2-foot-tall toilet bowl, designed by Sim “Mr. Toilet” Jae-duck, whose political career revolves around beautifying South Korea’s public restrooms. This is somehow tied into the so-called “toilet revolution” and bathroom hygiene:

“The toilet revolution should start with talking about toilet issues freely,” said Song Young-kwon, head of the organizing committee for the five-day conference that opens Nov. 21.

Vive la Révolution!

I need to get that on a business card, for sure.

As for this house, let’s hope the toilet revolution is one that will NOT be televised.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
