Toilet Restaurants = The New Hotness

Bathrooms: they're very clearly one of the more appetizing places you can possibly sit. So why wouldn't someone have already thought of a toilet-themed restaurant? Yeah, I have no idea either.

But it's finally here now, via the Daily Fork: a restaurant chain with a toilet theme, aptly named "Modern Toilet."

Modern Toilet is a restaurant chain in Japan that was recently brought to our attention by Spike.com. The restaurant serves their food in plastic toilet bowls, to diners sitting atop (you guessed it) toilet seats.

It should also be noted, as seen in the picture, that the tables appear to be washtubs/sinks. Which is just flat out gross. I mean, sure, there's a glass table over them. But I doubt they're clean; this is, after all, a bathroom, right?

Oh, and also, re: these anywhere near where I live: DO NOT WANT.
