OK I'm going to be the total wet blanket here.
FIRST is in a constant struggle to get funding, sponsors and school support. So how do you think a urinal cake with a team number (or a corporate or school logo) is going to over in the boardroom or the PTA meeting. Do you think they are going to want to be affilited with FIRST?
It may seem like "harmless fun" but step back and take a look at the big picture. It's doing alot more damage than you think. Alot of people have put way to much hard work and dedication into this institution to just let it be trashed like that.

Of course, in a PTA boardroom, why wouldn't they think "wow, thats a creative way to get your name out there". I'm with KT, urinals also say don't do drugs in them often. Its something that alot of people use, and see. It in no way degrades anything, hurt anybody, or messed anything up. If anything, a 50 cent urinal cake will have to be thrown away or turned over.... which is an expense to the team. In the real world, advertisement comes wherever you can get it, be it on a billboard, or in a toilet, if someone sees it, and remembers it, then its done its job. Their coach thought it was funny, and creative, so there was no objection from their team adult, so if their sponsor wasn't bothered by it, I don't see why anybody else should be really concerned about it..... It wasn't done by another team in order to degrade them, do I don't see how there was anything wrong.
And other strange spirit displays.... I think it was 567, the vikings, had 3 guys with a number painted on their chests dancing around in viking helmets at the lone star place too... I found that one pretty unique
