Norway's tourism agency is responding to an insult from President Trump by talking toilets, reports AFP. Days after Trump labeled Norway a "s---house country" at a campaign rally, Visit Norway rolled out an online showcase of eye-catching public restrooms under the banner: "Norway makes s--- houses great again!" The campaign highlights architect-designed bathrooms along 18 scenic routes, from a glass-fronted restroom overlooking a fjord to a wave-shaped facility on the Helgeland coast often billed as the world's most picturesque toilet, per the Guardian.

A "golden" triangular bathroom on Senja island and a moss-covered restroom in Ryfylke also make the cut. See the full collection here. "The world needs a little laugh," says Evgenia Egorova of Visit Norway. "We thought: let's meet them with kindness, and a little humor."
