SEGA Brings Gaming To Public Restroom Toilets
kkleiner writes "SEGA recently announced that they are testing their Toylets male urinal video game at select locations around Tokyo. Toylets uses a pressure sensor located on the back of the urinal to measure the strength and location of your urine stream. A small LCD screen above the urinal allows you to play several simple video games including a simulator for erasing graffiti and a variation on a sumo wrestling match. At the end of a game, the screen displays advertisements. Whether you find the concept hilarious, disturbing, or disgusting, urinal video games are simply another way that interactive media could invade every part of our lives. It also shows that no space is safe from digital ads."
Now this is one pissing contest you just have to win :)
So wait...now I'm supposed to play with myself in public bathrooms? Sheesh it'd hard to keep up with the rules...
...to the term "Wii"!

Don't cross the streams!
I'm afraid Mary is dead.
... is not to play at all!
If a train station is a place where a train stops, what's a workstation?
Back in the 70's, I bought this at Spencer Gifts for a friend. It had small cardboard ships to toss into the toilet, and you could try to sink by pissing on them. If your bladder is full of beer, and your blood full of alcohol, it is a hoot and a half.
This "game" is much more challenging for women.
For the non-US folks, Spencer Gifts is a chain of stores in malls (shopping centers) in the US. They sell crap, like stuff to throw into the toilet and piss on.

"Man dismembered by electrocution in freak urinal accident"
Thanks for spelling that out for me at the end. I mean, wow, up until that parenthesized explanation, I had no idea what you were talking about! Your clear and concise explanation at the end was a real eye opener. (Imagine a scene where one person is talking about sticky social scenes that hint at mild sexist and/or homophobic topics, but turns it on its head and notes that it's okay now due to some "potential new social context". Now explicitly spell out some of the underlying social norms/faux pas implied by the initial statement(s), but delicately leave the punch line hanging.)
So you'd be playing on a pee-to-pee network
