Rolling Stones urinals criticised by feminist campaign groups

A set of urinals built to resemble The Rolling Stones' official logo has angered feminists.

The urinals are based on the band's lips logo, which was designed by John Pasche back in 1971 and was inspired by frontman Mick Jagger's large mouth.

However, the urinals - which are based in a German fan museum - have angered feminist campaign groups who say they encourage "discrimination against women".

Campaigner Roda Armbruster told the Los Angeles Times: "If the urinals sported a tongue, it would have been acceptable because the identification with the band and Jagger would have been unmistakable.

"Without it, it's a woman's mouth, not a man's mouth."

The museum's founder Ulrich Schroeder has denied claims that the urinals represent a woman or a man's mouth and has asserted that they will not be removed.

The Rolling Stones will celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2012 and reports have suggested that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards met up last year to discuss a possible concert tour.
