Tacky toilet seat-o-rama » Manolo for the Home






Ever wonder why they call it the throne?

By Christa Terry

I always regarded the novelty plungers Adam Sandler sells in Punch Drunk Love as being fairly ridiculous…until, that is, I stumbled upon the surprisingly wide world of novelty toilet seat covers. You want barbed wire embedded in acrylic? No problem. How about faux marble? It’s out there. Yes, you’ll find everything from roaring tigers to Asian script to leopard print, not to mention fish.

This is by far the worst of the lot

But the fun doesn’t end with fishies, though I must say I do pity the poor things. Below the cut you’ll find several more, er, interesting toilet seats. Me? I like a plain white bathroom where appliances are concerned because I can see that everything is squeaky clean.

Homies! Make your own for a handful of change!

If the little men and women in this toilet seat look familiar to you, you may just be the sort of person who likes to look over the kiddie vending machines in supermarkets. I know I’m that sort of person, which is why I recognized all the little Homies. Fun toy for those who appreciate urban humor? Sure. Appropriate bathroom decor? Um, not really.

Does he call it his throne?

It’s always been my opinion that combining tasteful nudity and toilet business is absolutely, positively never a good idea. This strikes me as a bachelor’s toilet seat, by which I mean a lifelong bachelor’s toilet seat. If I saw it at a date’s abode, I’d find some excuse to skedaddle.

The root of all things stinky?

Words fail me…unless, that is, “bling-bling” is now actually a word.

    I think it was J.Lo who had a gem-encrusted toilet seat cover that ran about $100K (it was during the Bennifer era.)

    Frankly, I’d have more important things to spend money on.
