Internet Enabled... Toilet Paper Dispenser

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-thats-genius dept.

The BBC are reporting that one of the items displayed at this years Ideal Home Show at Earls Court is an internet enabled toilet roll browser. From the article: A unit installed in front of a toilet on the cubicle wall provides up-to-the-minute information on products, stocks and shares and lottery results. People can even print off the information on a standard toilet roll. Go Ahead, make your TCP Dump comments. We'll wait.

    With my stock portfolio, toilet paper is the perfect place to print them out on. At least then they'd be good for something.

    Man, that ain't a tarball.

    Better flush the dirty buffer.

      I'd hate to see the size of the logs that this thing produces!

      I was unwisely drinking coffee while reading the comments, knowing I'd see juvenile (yet totally funny) jokes. I was ready for every "dump" joke imaginable.

      And then you blindsided me with this genius and made me reach for a screen cleaning wipe (heh, I said wipe) to remove the new anti-glare coating of a cup of folgers from my monitor.
