Squat Toilets | The Real Reason To Boycott the Beijing Olympics

Forget about the plight of the Tibetan people, the real reason we should boycott the Beijing Olympics is because of squat toilets! There toilets are commonly used in Asia but are completely foreign to those from the Western nations. Basically it looks like a urinal that is built into the ground. Instead of sitting down, you squat over the toilet to do your business. As Americans, we cannot stand for this kind of primitive mentality in the bathroom. Down with squat toilets! Down with the Beijing Olympics!

Squat pot

From what that story says, I foresee a big business for port-a-potty companies. The Olympic hosts will try to satisfy the foreign visitors. I read in a yoga book once that squatting is supposedly a more natural and healthy position for evacuating the bowels.

Not for me

This almost seems impossible to do. I did some research on these toilets and it kind of shocks me really. I would find it very difficult to use. Not to mention unsanitary. Most of them are not eqipped with toilet paper, instead a hose of water or a ladle to rinse with. Thanks for the info, I am sure they find our bathroom habits to be just as confusing.
