This is how the Time Magazine article begins:
--"There's poop everywhere! Y-u-c-k," says 6-year-old Jordan Lien as he and his family dine at the Modern Toilet, a popular Taiwanese restaurant chain that's expanding into China and other parts of Asia. The boy was looking at the poop-shaped lights and dish covers and the curry on toilet-shaped plates.--
Basically some brilliant marketer/bathroom humor lover came up with the idea to serve dishes in mini toilets.And for dessert it gets even better. Featured are the shaved-ice desserts with names like "diarrhea with dried droppings" (chocolate), "bloody poop" (strawberry) and "green dysentery" (kiwi).

I wonder if the restaurant's owner is consciously imitating Bunuel's "Phantom of Liberty" where toilets as dinner table chairs is only one element in LB's mockery of the bottomless impulse toward fetishism among the privileged classes. If so, then the restaurant is a savage attack on the mindset of its own patrons.
My favorite moment is the little kid who blurts out that the emperor lives in a world of poop.
