Hmm, a PR reader's dream.
Zagat-type rating for comfort stations!
Instead of stars, we'll have one, two or three turds!
======================

Singapore plans to rate public toilets using a five-star system similar to that used to grade hotels as part of a new campaign called "Happy Toilet," an official said Monday.

Auditors will rate toilets on cleanliness, layout and ergonomics, said Jack Sim, president of the Singapore Restroom Association, which developed the rating system alongside the Health Ministry.

"We came up with this program because today when you go to a public toilet you do not know what to expect inside," Sim said. "Sometimes you are very happy, but sometimes you are very shocked - disgusted."

"When toilets are clean, people are happy and healthy [1]," he added.
