We can assure everyone who complained to us that no offense was ever intended, Virgin spokesman John Riordan said in a statement. Riordan said the British company received several dozen complaints from people and groups including the National Organization for Women news - web sites after its plans for the urinals had been made public. NOW had posted a message on its Web site urging members to complain to Virgin chief Richard Branson. I dont know many men who think its cool to pee in a womans mouth, even a porcelain one, said NOW President Kim Gandy on the groups Web site. The urinal, designed by a Dutch company, was the idea of a female designer. Riordan said Virgin was surprised by the negative reaction to the plan, part of designs for the lounge, built to pamper first-class customers. |
