What's fun about Fountain is the the original has been lost, so you can only see a, "recreation" of it. Since it was initially just a found object of a mass-produced item, this wasn't a problem - but still, Duchamp could sanction "official" replicas.

Ah, love it.

Also fountains usually have some sort of water works going on. Could be that Duchamp was asking people to piss on the Readymade! I'm sure a few have.
