Question Themed Restaurants - a flash in the pan or would you take a seat?

Juvenile bathroom humour must be a pretty international thing, based on the success of toilet-themed restaurants and chains.

It sounds odd but seems to work for this entrepreneur.

...the Modern Toilet diner is one of chain of themed eateries appealing to largely young clientele with a toilet humour
Customers eat from mini plastic toilet bowls. They wipe their hands and mouths using toilet rolls hung above their tables, which may be glass-topped jumbo bathtubs.

Owner Wang Tzi-wei opened his first Modern Toilet in 2004 after being inspired by a Japanese cartoon featuring restroom images and the toilet themes run through the food and drinks menus.

Modern Toilet draws on people ages 15 to 35, especially students from the three universities near Yang's facilities because they're "easily excited."

...Managers say the restaurant's popularity shows that Taipei customers, who have a choice of theme-eateries that resemble jailhouses and hospitals, appreciate creative dining. [News.com.au]

Would you try an establishment which brings the bathroom out into the restaurant (thematically if not literally)?
