Scottish Nightclub In Hot Water Over Using 2 Way Mirrors To Spy On The Women's Bathroom Without Actually Telling Anyone First

(Source) A new nightclub in Scotland is being investigated by police and other Glasgow city officials after a newspaper investigation revealed the club had installed two-way mirrors in its women’s bathrooms, exposing the women to viewers in two private rooms.The Scottish Sunday Express broke the story this weekend, claiming they’ve seen photos showing men posing in front of the two-way mirrors, with women using the bathroom behind them. The paper said there were no signs or notifications in the bathroom or club notifying the women they were being watched. Several female club-goers interviewed by the paper expressed shock at the revelations. “I find it absolutely outrageous that a club can get away with this, it is a complete invasion of privacy of the unsuspecting girls,” one said. “Nowhere is it made clear that this is the case so when visiting the bathroom for the first time, there are women bending over the sink, pouting into the mirror to redo their lipstick, adjusting themselves whilst unknowingly being watched by people on the other side.”

However, on Monday the Shimmy Club responded to the growing controversy on their Facebook page, saying the two-way mirror was “created as a bit of fun, an interactive feature which we hoped would act as a talking point.” As for those offended by the concept, the club writes, “its (sic) clear that those who are negatively commenting on line may not have been lucky enough to get past the door staff yet.” The club did, however, say they would remove the mirrors “if your feedback (and not that of the media) is that you want the mirror area to change.”

Sleazy? Yeah probably. 1-10 its probably a solid 7 on the sleaze scale. It’s not like they’re watching chicks piss and shit, but a 2 way mirror is still a 2 way mirror. But I have to say, as scummy as this may be, sort of have to respect the owner’s not backing down at all. They basically said in that last paragraph, if you don’t like being spied on, you’re probably not hot enough to get into our club to begin with. Back against the wall they’re doubling down on the 2 way mirrors. I kind of like that. Guys only want to illegally spy on hot chicks, so if you’re offended you’re probably just an ugly person that we wouldn’t even waste our time spying on anyway. And if you did get spied on, well then that means you’re hot and you were worth it, so really, you’re welcome.

PS
Has no one in Scotland seen the Rock? Pretty simple solution when you’re being watched through a 2 way mirror.

Womack! You piece of shit.
