Get RSS Feeds on Your Toilet Paper

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the raising-the-bullshit-detector dept.

The 'rsstroom reader' is a bathroom gadget that prints news feeds onto your T-P - that's right, your TOILET PAPER! The best part is the "biometrics" toilet seat that'll figure out who you are based on your weight and prints the news you want - not your roommates tabloid garbage. Going to the rsstroom will never be boring again! Heres a close-up image of this new gadget."

    I'm kind of afraid to click a "close-up" image of a device that's used on the toilet. It's not a picture of a live demo is it?

      If you've been reading slashdot comments for a while you shouldn't have any problems. With all the tubgirl and goatse images that get posted in here, seeing even the fattest, harriest of men engaged in a "regular" bowel movement shouldn't even make you blink.

    I used to have a terminal in my bathroom, so I understand the motivation to be close to information. However, I have to draw the line at buttometric technology, that's just wrong.

    Hack your neighbors wireless connection and feed false information to their RSS printed TP. Imagine the fun you could have. Program it to tell your neighbors wife she's fat and needs to lose weight. Program it to insult your neighbor's husband's manhood. There's so much potential here it is staggering...
