George Michaels to tour U.S.

London, England - After a four year long successful run in Europe former "Wham!" member, George Michaels, plans to cross the pond and play in Canada and the United States, continuing his tour. The decision to extend the tour came when Michaels picked up a new sponsor, "Bed, Bath and Beyond." As a part of their sponsorship deal, Michaels designed an exclusive private collection of public restrooms for the company.

"George Michaels seemed the natural choice," said a spokesman for Bed, Bath and Beyond. "Given his artistic talents, arrest and conviction record for having sex in a public restroom."

Bed, Bath and Beyond had been looking to enter the urban sex in public restroom niche market for a number of years now and saw George Michaels as the perfect opportunity to enter it.

Seattle's $5 million experiment with self-cleaning public toilets could soon be over.

Citing drug use and prostitution in the silver pods, Seattle Public Utilities on Monday recommended removing the five restrooms, which were supposed to provide clean, safe facilities for tourists and homeless people.
