This is probably the wildest proposition in science where one expects the structure of toilets would correlate with the type of political system and supporting ideology.

+Bojana Kocijan he forgot market domain. Toilet makers all over the planet start in some country and some main capital market . Then, the one that does grow bigger, determines the toilet culture (which is determined by the national culture, what people want, they buy). Then being the biggest producer in a large country , makes you cheaper and more sophisticated than the smaller producers of the small neighbouring countries. Such that Denmark and Netherlands take over the same toilet concept from Germany, and Belgium that of France. Maybe , if the French producer was situated near the belgium France border AND the german main producer FAR away from dutch German border , then French Toilet bowls were in demand in Netherlands too..but the fact is, it isn,t.

+ODDBALL SOK Yes, market aspect of it is probably important, but we still do not know much about the marketing of toilets or even more about its history. I am actually not sure if England's toilets are that different from those used in Western Europe (in the US they definitely have toilets that Zizek describes as representatives of Anglo-Saxon version of a toilet). Now, toilets in the whole of Western Europe are similar to each other with perhaps the distinction that Zizek mentions - the whole being behind or directly striking the whole. I am not sure as you suggest that toilets in Spain or Italy for example are similar/same to the ones in France and different from the ones in Germany.
Zizek on cocaine:"Many people believe that-even some of my friends. But surprisingly never in my life did I take drugs-not even soft drugs. Its not that I am a moralist or anything.

Finally! Someone finally addresses one of life's mysteries which bugged me for so long (though I was thinking of Dutch toilets, I didn't know Germans were concerned as well)! Now the second question is, how much snot did he ingest during the speech (counting the accumulated stuff in his moustache as well) thanks to his swift tongue movements
and he didn't mention world's best Japanese toilets, especially the huge contrast between the old squatting type and the modern which are basically futuristic for most of other countries, and simply most convenient? also, someone should tell him that architects don't design bowls lol, but engineers at firms manufacturing sanitary utilities.
With the transition in Russia from communism to capitalism, the old-style Asian squatting toilets common in China and Iran - more of a large ceramic floor tile with a hole in than a toilet familiar to the west - disappeared and were replaced by the western (closest to the UK/France model) toilet. I'll let Zizek draw the conclusions here.

He's a clown in terms of his public persona, but in his books, for all their dense Hegelian and Lacanian jargon, he can be a truly brilliant and fascinating thinker. The problem comes in the fact that his most interesting ideas are all to one side of what he is really trying to say through all the jargon. His insights are often extra-ordinary, if you persevere.
synchronium24 he's saying that although Zikek often has great ideas, he tends to put them in such a language it kind of gets hard to understand what he is really saying. i think
Well, it's as if expresses himself in dense jargon-ridden language, which I for one have a very hard time with, but then he comes away with a brilliant insight almost as if by accident or as if it was not part of his main argument.
But we should also realize that it's all very expensive. How much student debt is accumulated for stuff like this to happen? But to many it's just obvious after they finish college and can't find jobs with their cultural studies degrees. He's a fraud.
It's so funny! I remember reading Montaigne talking about the differences between German and French toilets too, and also about heating systems iirc. Oh how I love philosophy! :D
David Foster Wallace presents this anecdote in strikingly similar language as a character's original observation in the story The Suffering Channel. It's on page 264 of the first edition of his last collection, Oblivion. It seems like someone was reading the other closely or else there's a common third source.
It also reflect the soul or soulessness of a City. For instance, in Norfolk, Virginia, when they were planning a new bus turn-around, I asked if they would be placing a toilet there, since the riders would have to cross railroad track and jump a ditch, maybe even, and often with children. No they wouldn't. Now they have put in a train, and want the better class. I am sure there will be facilities provided. Only the pewter class are able to handle their bodily functions with any dignity.
Not really a matter of respect. He knows that the subject matter is conducive to laughs and he plays to that. It's not the first conference where he tells this analysis and he knows the reaction he expects. He even giggles himself as he speaks. I'm assuming people didn't laugh because this conference was in Spain and most people probably weren't able to understand the tone or even keep up with the lecture too well.
In his book "Guide to reading Lacan", he talks about different toilet structures, and how they represent different nations, for example he said German toilets have flat ridges where the poop falls, so one can smell it for its healthiness, while American toilets throw it straight into the water, and don't want to see nor smell it.
I know what this means on the surface, but I can't think of anything else besides the main point. Surely there are deeper influences and meanings behind even more things around us than toilets. All these things and designs around us... They are their own seperate ideological structures as well. And to understand what they are would be to deeply dig at something fundamental.
He forgets to mention the original (and not that long ago either) French toilets were a hole in the ground, without the seat. So you would suspend yourself over a hole in the ground. It actually stresses his point :)
I love Zizek, though I do not always agree with him, I will not deny his genius. But maybe he should not have taken the last line of Charley before he went on stage. But what, can happen to the best...
Well, it's Spain and probably 40 degrees Celsius. Though I'm certainly going mad watching him. I believe there's something mad in Zizek himself, too, though his madness is extremely smart. He continues to provoke our thought rather than telling us sophistic "facts" that let us snore away in the lecture, and I believe his way of thinking, his unconventional style brings a lot of stuff to the light which we have never viewed from the right perspective, even though it may seem weird and irrational.
