ROLLING STONES: Piss on Them

Urinals in the shape of The Rolling Stones mouth and tongue logo -- based on Mick Jagger's mouth -- are popping up in Europe. You can now do number-one in Mick's mouth at the Goldman Hotel in Frankfurt, Germany, the Rolling Stones Fan Museum in Luechow, Germany and the Rosenmeer restaurant in Rosheim, France. When asked if the urinals were licensed by the band, their spokeswoman told us, "Don't know anything about this one."

And, of course the urinals are not without controversy, from, believe it not, women. A report out of Germany says upwards of 12 women have demanded that the urinals be removed from the museum because they are not accurate recreations of the famous logo as the tongue is missing. "If it had been based on the emblem of the Stones with the tongue, it would have been okay," says one protestor. "But the tongue's been left out and they really look like women's mouths." The museum owner says he has no plans to remove them. "They were damned expensive and they're staying where they are ... That's final."

In 2004, Virgin Airlines announced that they would install two of the urinals in New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, but those plans were scrapped -- or flushed.

The Stones are not the first rock act you can take a leak on. In 2009, Gene Simmons, the master of everything merchandise, licensed his image for use on urinal cakes promoting his reality show, Gene Simmons Family Jewels. At the time he said, "For all of you who have always wanted to pee on my face, now you can." And, if you were an accurate shot, the cake spoke back to you.
