A low cost urinal mat that has entertainment value by virtue of matter printed thereon in a sufficiently legible and substantially unobscured form. Preferably, the printed matter consists of an image of a universally recognized person, symbol, flag, etc. for which there is common dislike, derision or even hatred. By way of example, an image of a radical terrorist or of a dictatorial foreign political leader would be a likely candidate for a suitable image. A key aspect of the present invention, aside from the content of the image, is that of providing drainage apertures in a number and size which, while permitting adequate drainage through the mat, does not substantially obscure the image to the point where the content becomes not readily identifiable. It has been found that by providing an image that uses over 90% of the mat surface area, by limiting the hole count to less than about 30 and limiting the cumulative area of the holes to about 10% to 15% of the surface area of the mat, a readily legible and recognizable image is obtained while still permitting proper drainage.
