This tank is full of African cichlids and a voyeuristic soft-shelled terrapin. Is there a marine version?

@karateninja: Well, then you can only hope that there are no piranhas in the tank.

On the other hand, you wouldn't need to flush anymore.

Oh great, a bathroom that has fish tanks for walls. I could just imagine sitting there taking a dump when Tom Cruise opens the door, yells, "Red light, green light!" and then throws his Mission Impossible gum onto the tank wall.

Hasta Lasagna, don't get any on ya' indeed, Emilio Estevez.

Just imagine how bad you would feel if this happened:

You get into the toilet to have a pee.
After you've pulled down your pants one of those turtles looks at your weener and gathers all the other inhabitants of the aquarium. All they do is point at your ... and giggle.
Would you be able to pee?

I agree with Vankoy. This is a good (well, sort of) idea but it doesn't make much sense in reality. Can you imagine running to the restroom and finding a majority of the fish dead, floating all around you?

I'm stuck asking where do you feed the fish from. I'm assuming the top in a room around the outside. So how would you know someone isn't watch you?

The toilet should swivel so you can face into the aquarium regardless of what business you are there for.

I am not sure whether I could bring myself to use a toilet anywhere with Frankie Goes To Hollywood telling me to both "Relax" and "Don't do it", though. What a confusing message for toilet time!

@ironslave: Easy to clean the fish tank... just flush.

I want to know what the heck she won, too... A chance to release some fresh brown trout into the wild in that, or what?

I just think that it would be a pain in the ass to clean the Fish tank out.

i bet he invested a good 20,000 just in the Elevator door.

The toilet is facing the WRONG way. You should be seated facing INTO the aquarium.

Also, aren't subtitles suppose to translate?

HOLY CRAP I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE CLIP! if the WGA strike continues, can we just bring all these shows to our shores? I think it's only fair. I need to know more about this show, such as how i can get my hands on that giant stamp.

For $270,000 it is not really that big of an aquarium and is really only a couple feet deep on all walls. For that amount of cash I would have expected a pool-sized aquarium filled with much larger fish (dolphins or sharks maybe). It is still pretty sweet but I would have guessed it cost maybe $50,000 since for around $100,000 I'm guesstimating one can build a pretty kick-ass pool with waterfalls and other amazing features.

It's alright until you flush and a huge poop-fish comes floating up in the fish tank.

i love the look of wonder on the woman's face on the upper left in the first part, like she's winning a trip to disney world.
well maybe it's more like she appalled but i like to think that she's rediscovering her inner child.

Seems like an awesome bathroom, but the toilet iteself looked kind of ugly. And not to be a spelling Nazi, but DJJS, that's barely legible.

Animal rights activists should take a look at this stuff. May be Greenpeace will do some protest.

Have they thought about the fishes.
