I'm more curious about the tourism adverts. "Croatia: come for the olive oil, stay to become the first lady of the United States."

The fact that this was in Croatia makes it 10X funnier imo.
Guess that makes them officially an enemy of the United States.

Dutch sexism outcry after woman fined for peeing in public - BBC News

Sounds like she just pissed the judge off! Seriously though, why the **** didn't he just let her go with a warning? ****.

However, I think the more important question is: what the blue jumping **** is that thing in the centre of the picture? The dark red .... um ... no, it's not, is it? Is it?

The judge, in this case a man, told her she should have used one of the men's facilities rather than resorting to urinating in public - an offence known as "wildplassen" in Dutch.
My new favorite word.

Surprised it went to court and she got fined but I don't know the Dutch police or legal system.

No real point to this it just reminded me of it.

On my 18th birthday on the way home from the pub I needed the toilet so I pissed in the street. Literally as soon as my fly was done up a police car appeared, they pulled over and asked me what was up.

They just told me to watch how I go and off I went

Telling her to try maneuvering around to use a men's urinal with that giant bobblehead threatening to upend her is just wrong.

Let her go with a warning? Why? Cops are so quick to fine people in NYC for public urination. Mostly guys and they don't even have public urinals like in that country. So I can understand why they would still follow through. You have public urinals and you still won't use them you lucky fuck. We have to dip into stores to use their bathrooms and they usually want you to buy something before you can use the bathroom.

Maybe they don't want Amsterdam to smell like New York.
