Toilet-shaped residence-based activism of the day

Above is the porcelain throne-based house designed by Korean activist Sim Jae-duck. This 4,500-sq-foot residence is meant to be a monument to the South Korean people's impeccable hygiene, as well as a rallying cry on the part of the World Toilet Association -- Mr. Jae-duck is President of the fledgling organization -- which was founded on a commitment to "improving toilet and sanitation conditions worldwide."

We're all for calling attention to sanitation conditions, especially in developing nations, but what's going to happen when Kim Jong Il gets a look at this and orders one built next to his water slide?
