Hmmm…being an American, I tend to look on the brighter side and treat as a complement. America is a golden vessel, placed in the watercloset of a world, who gives us their “stuff” to deal with daily. And we do it. Lately, under Trump, we’ve asked to install a quarter machine in the door.
Here’s my biggest problem with this: The toilet paper in the picture. Take a look at it…it’s obviously single ply. If I’m going to shell out that kind of bucks for a golden toilet, at the very least I require hand-made quadruple-ply, preferably interwoven with the silk from specially bred silkworms. In addition, there shall be a golden bidet nearby which runs on Perrier. When I’m sitting on my “America”, I demand only the finest.
The pic is from the Guggenheim in NY – clearly they brought over some EuroPaper for the full experience. Note to travelers heading over The Pond or anywhere in Europe – bring the good stuff; the technology to make legitimate TP is missing in Europe. Wonderful visits, beautiful people, great food, horrible toilet paper.
As an American, I’m not sure how I should feel about an artist creating a gold toilet and naming it “America.” Is that an insult or a compliment?
Both.
“America”, eh?
In best Nelson Muntz voice, “HA HA!”
As a European, I can tell you plainly: it is definitely an insult. :)
Thank you for providing clarity, Augustine. It is appreciated.

What a “waste” of perfectly good gold, in more ways than one.
I’d like to sit on that very much.

My head is bloodied and bowed, Rob. Can’t believe I missed that important detail. You da man.
