South Korea is in the grip of a "spycam" epidemic with covert footage of sex, nudity, and urination posted online in what amounts to a "social death penalty" for thousands of female victims.

The footage may be taken surreptitiously by boyfriends or captured on covert devices as small as car keys. Daily camera checks are now part of life for cleaners in many public toilets.

The spy camera phenomenon has reached such epidemic proportions in tech-savvy South Korea that tens of thousands of women have taken to the streets to march for action.

Srsly?

  Luis Buñuel's Le fantôme de la liberté (The Phantom of Liberty) (1974)

          One of Luis Bunuel's most free-form and purely Surrealist films, consisting of a series of only vaguely related episodes - most famously, the dinner party scene where people sit on lavatories round a dinner table on[while] occasionally retiring to a little room to eat.[in privacy]

  The scene you are looking for is available on Youtube.

  Just checked the link and that video is blocked, it's probably posted elsewhere. The scene would be shocking to anyone with "conventional morality", but I thought it was pretty funny to see the cultural taboos about the bathroom and eating reversed.
