China is lifting the lid on a new, giant public washroom in Chongqing. “Hello. Is your toilet running?” If by that, you mean is it running for the World Record of biggest public toilet in the world, then, yes, they’re hoping the Guinness authority will grant them that honour. And that would be nothing to shake a…oh, never mind. The CBC article neglects to mention who currently holds the claim of world’s largest.
One tip to the promoters: about your marketing machine… Your spokesperson might have chosen his words more carefully when he proudly proclaimed: “We are spreading toilet culture.” I’m thankful you didn’t say you hoped it would make a splash. All I can say is that I hope you’ve also installed World Record hand-washing facilities, to help prevent spreading that toilet culture, you know, too far. Anyhow, if I’m ever passing through the area, I’ll be sure to give it a whirl.
P.S. “Flushed with pride” was already “taken” by the CBC article.
