BERWYN, Ill. -- Comedian Tamale Rocks recently made a strange and unpleasant discovery while getting ready to perform at a Chicago-area bar.
Rocks uploaded a video to YouTube from Cigars and Stripes bar in Berwyn, Ill., showing what appears to be a two-way mirror opposite the women's toilet.
“It may not appear weird to some people, but for paranoid jerks like myself, I get a little confused about why that might be there,” she says in the video.
Her footage shows that on the other side of the mirror is a supply closet, from which one can apparently see through the two-way glass to whoever is in the toilet stall.
Rocks wrote in the caption to her video,
The website Jezebel posted a story on the incident when a reader tipped them off about the video. According to the site, the owner of Cigars and Stripes, Ronnie Lottz, said the mirror is there to stay -- and was quite defiant in saying so.
Jezebel quotes the owner as saying, "I will burn this f***ing place to the ground before I get rid of that mirror. Do you know how much joy that mirror has brought to us?" and, "We're synonymous with Halloween. We do a freaky family fun day, and all the kids look in the mirror.
"This is a fun house, honey," he added, "and if you don’t like the two-way mirror, go f*** yourself."
The business' Yelp page has a number of complaints about the mirror/window.
Rocks's video was uploaded Sunday, and by Monday afternoon had nearly 200,000 views.
According to her Facebook page, the woman's name is Tamale Sepp, and she attended Columbia College Chicago.
