Urinal 2.0 |
Although I’ve put this in the humor category, the following is no joke. It goes beyond the process of listening to MP3 tunes on the toilet or using Sudoko toilet paper.

The Piss-Screen - a pressure-sensitive inlay set within urinals, enabling users to play while they pee. We installed this newfangled creation in male restrooms across Frankfurt, teaming up with a variety of bars, clubs and cafés. The game itself was displayed on a screen above each urinal, and would automatically start as soon as someone began to pee. The player could then control the car whilst relieving himself – if they wanted the car to go right, they simply peed to the right (and visa versa).
Now why don’t we see more Piss-Screens in the US? Sounds like a good way to combat drunk driving. Why not go further? Test the blood alcohol level in the urine and text message the cab numbers to their cell phone. And if the BAC is too high, cut them off.
Talk about all new type of game controller, eat your Wiimote out, Nintendo. I better bail from this one before it gets ugly …




In the US some moron would deface the thing with graffiti or some other kind nonsense.

Of course some U.S. guys get so drunk they can’t even hit the urinal…
