Mouthing off: Restaurant removes urinals shaped like woman's lips after female food critic said they were offensive

Removed: The red lip urinals by Dutch artist Meike van Schijnde at the Ananas Bar and Brasserie in Sydney

A newly-opened French restaurant in Sydney said today it would remove two urinals designed to resemble a woman's lipsticked mouth and apologised for any offence they caused.
The Ananas Bar and Brasserie said the bright red-lipped urinals shaped like an open mouth were 'a commonly used European design piece from female Dutch artist Meike van Schijndel'.
'We sincerely apologise if they have caused offence. They are being removed today,' a spokeswoman said in a statement.

The restaurant apologisied for any offence the two urinals have caused

The stylish restaurant opened three weeks ago, with the Sydney Morning Herald's food reviewer describing the urinals as 'no real surprise here at Ananas, merely adding to the extraordinary collision of statements and intent'.
But feminist, former political adviser and writer Anne Summers said the design was offensive.
'Misogyny is very widespread, and this is just an example of misogyny,' said Summers.
'The concept is pretty challenging and confronting. They're asking men to put their d*** in these mouths as urinals.'
