Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

This Public Bathroom Looks Like an Enormous Dessert

Ice cream with whipped cream, berries, and syrup, all inside a structure that looks like a giant cake. This is where you want to relieve yourself. Or pig out. Or both.
The Oita Toilennale 2015 is a public art festival devoted to public toilets. The artists who contribute use nature's call as their central theme. Among the 10 major projects is "Melting Dream," an ice cream-like toilet building by Minako Nishiyama, Mika Kasahara, and Yuma Haruna.
The Fukishima nuclear accident 4 year ago inspired the project. With this structure, the artists are commenting that beneath a sweet structure, Japan is beginning to crumble.  You can see more photos of it at Spoon & Tamago.
