Wow. That’s lotta toilets! A crapload, if you will.
It wasn't an automated tweet. @MattYglesias actually looked at the chart and commented on it. Clown. Show.

Well done as usual, Vox!
Oh, Vox. Hire an editor, fer Pete's sake. http://t.co/d2wMa0i7JP

Eh, editors aren’t Vox’s number one concern. (“Number one” … get it?)
.@voxdotcom Thank you for your on-location reporting from the toilet.

“102 toilets per person? That sounds about right. Next, a piece on how we should remake the healthcare market for 310 million people.”

Sounds like a plan!
