Pissing contest?

A new, unintentional tourist attraction in Edmonton will invite men (and eventually women) to urinate in public.

Downtown businesses on Whyte Avenue, evidently a popular area for drinking, are tired of drunks relieving themselves in alleys and doorways. So they are installing open-air plastic urinals.[Montreal Gazette]

Four men can use the urinals at one time. A plastic divider will provide a semblance of privacy for the urinaters. Since they are drunk one wonders if they'd care.

No details yet on the proposed outhouses for women.

Gives a whole new meaning to the concept of being judged by one's pee-rs.
