inverted toilet?

I have been to Holland and the first time I have used the toilet I was shocked to see that the design of their toilet is different to waht I used to see. Where your POOP will land on the ceramic and not on the reservoir that is aimed in the front end of the bowl and not on the rear end.. (get the picture?). Thus making me feel that the toilet room be more stinky since the POOP is exposed into the air.

Can anyone explain why it was designed this way?

    Hi,

    Toilet disinfectant liquid is dispensed from an inverted container suspended within a toilet tank. As the toilet tank is refilled at the conclusion of a flush cycle, an inverted cup entraps air which then enters the container through a narrow elongated passage which prevents tank water from entering the container. When the water level in the tank falls during the succeeding flush cycle, disinfectant liquid passes through the narrow elongated passage and into the toilet tank. Bubbles formed in the elongated passage prevent continued dispensation of the disinfectant.
