Topic: Urinal video game makes big splash

Japanese video game maker Sega is planning global expansion for a urinal video game that has proved a success in pubs across Japan. Players in the Toylet game target their urine at a sensor inside the toilet, which measures volume and speed, with software then matching that to progress in a selection of five video games in a console mounted at the top of the urinal. "At first, we thought it would really be only young people who would like this kind of game. But . . . we're seeing this phenomenonwhere people are enjoying playing with it, regardless of age," said Hirotaka Machida, the console's lead producer. At 150,000 yen (€1,500) for a single unit, Mr Machida said the originalplan had been to avoid the mass market, but tests in pubs and restaurants showed it had broad appeal. An infra-red device cuts off play if gamers stray too far from the urinal, reducing the amount of mess, according to Sega, making it a hit with pub managers as well. Toilet humour and raunchy gags are a staple of variety shows in Japan where Toylets were rolled out on general release. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2012/0119/breaking13.html

The human race slides another inch down the can. Not really, is this really much different from every guy ever having written something with a stream of pee? Or is that just my own experience?

Yea I didnt know either, but I def didnt click any links once I googled it . . . just read a summary of the link . . . that was enough.

Book reports work better in pen & pencils. Yea I dont know, never submitted anything to a teacher written on the wall, or in the sand . . . lol

And if it takes off in the US some gov't agency will find a way to add substance screening to it! But that won't become public knowledge until long after it's in use!
