Now this story we just read really puts New York city in a class by itself. The free public restrooms operated by the Charmin toilet paper company in New York’s Times Square during the holidays are being rolled out for another year (no pun intended0.

It is the third straight year for the 20 deluxe stalls that feature flat-screen televisions, attendants dressed in tuxedos and plenty of Charmin. The overall goal is so tourists will feel like kings sitting on their thrones before making their royal flushes. How would taking a crap on the streets of New York make you feel like a king?

The fancy-ass toilets will have a ceremonial first flush by pop singer and Broadway star Joey Fatone.

In case you are wondering, the shitters will be open every day through the end of the year except Christmas Day.

Oh and get this, for the first time they’ll be open on New Year’s Eve for the crowd watching the 2009 ball drop. Just great, thousands of drunk party-goers, waiting in line to take a dump. At least the attendant will be there to clean up the puke.

Excellent way to flush away all your troubles of 2008.
