I really do not see how this could get "the ban stick".

That sign isn't so odd.  I have heard that they have squat toilets in Japan, enough so that signs like that are needed.

I've been to Tokyo a few times and I've never seen any "squat toilets" in any of the homes, hotels, or restaurant/bars that I went to.  Did see a vending machine with used girl's underwear but no squat toilets.

That is understandable since that photo is from a Shinto Shrine in Kyoto.

In case you were wondering about the 'squat toilet' there was a good example in the movie "Mr. Baseball"... definitely an underrated movie.

I could see how someone who was used to this could possibly misuse a 'modern' western-style toilet:

Upping the ante.

Claimed to be an unedited image, but this being the internet, who knows.
Also, I have an image of a vending machine that dispenses half-naked Asian women. Being what it is, I don't think it'd be wise to link it, but I'm sure a small amount of Google-fu would unearth it.

THAT needs instructions.

Interesting use of a urinal.
