We recently sent a couple of our interns out to confront some of Oahu’s worst olfactory abusers — its public restrooms.

What they found, of course, was more offensive than foul odors. Many bathrooms are in disrepair and don’t even have basic amenities, such as soap or paper towels.

The story is quite good. And at least one commenter said the idea that a world-class tourist destination like Hawaii could have such filthy public restrooms is “inexcusable.”

Kudos to both Alia Wong and Sanjeev Ranabhat for their hard — and I might say, brave — work for plunging into the issue.

If you think you’re as courageous as they are, watch the video and slideshow Wong and Ranabhat prepared to accompany the story.
