These 'talking urinals' are apparently not 'new' but are now becoming more and more common. Although I'm not a guy, suspect few men are thrilled to have a urinal toss commercials, etc at them at their most private moments?

p.s. Unsure if speaking of urinals is 'pushing the line' for subjects on our BleepingComputer - truly won't be offended if it's deleted by moderators.

Well, i certainly wouldn't feel uncomfortable or offended, but i do think it's a really stupid idea. There are advertisements literally everywhere now-adays, and this is just another annoying...... annoyance. There are certainly better things to be doing with your time besides annoying more men while they're trying to take care of business...

Woops....I missed, ON PURPOSE!(Joking)

Stupid and anoying...Cant even take a pee break without ads...
I wouldnt be surprised if all the screens didnt end up broken before long.

"The Wizmark Urinal Communicator is being also used to tout anti-drink-driving, safe sex, and anti-drug messages."

Great now 4 year olds have to hear about "SEX" while peeing...

Is it going to have a screen or just a speaker...

My opinion is that it is just dumb!

Forced to listen, no fast forward.

I doubt if anyone would stall around!

First off: John, that was terrible. Just thought you should know....

Second, its bad enough that I have to have commericals everywhere else I go; I wouldn't want to have to listen to them while I pee!!!

Luckily, I am not a man, so I don't have to deal with that.

Maybe not yet, but they make water-proof speakers........

To tell you the truth, how stupid is it to spend several years of your life to invent something like that

Warm regards

Yeah I just invented the Pee-mercials isnt that great? sarcasm

Maybe they could show reruns of Peewee Herman instead of commercials?
John

Well, I am going to wait and see what commercials are displayed before I decide to hang out there or not.

But the worst thing is that this goes over the drain... So I would probably not even touch it to throw it out the window... Plus it's a deoderiser so at least it's somewhat usefull but they have those without an anoying person talking to you while your peeing...

And what if everyone is off sync or has a different radio ad...It would be loud and very anoying.

I can just imagine the guy having a burnout and just crying in a corner saying "All I want to do is take pee in peace..."

Could you imagine how damaging it would be to hear "It's the little things" by alice cooper while trying to use the urinal?

As if talking to the person next to you wasn't bad enough while using the urinal, now they are talking to you!

I keep forgetting that men don't like to talk in the bathroom. At. All. In the ladies bathroom, conversations started elsewhere are carried into the stalls. But random people don't talk to me...and they certainly don't try to sell me stuff!!!!

Just wait for it they will invent something to make the women soffer...

Imagine a talking toilet paper dispenser and you have to listen to an ad for every sqare you took before the door unlocks I am guessing some people will be using less. That would be a good way to save the enviorment

They might find some broken dispensers if they did that.

Lol

I would just bring my own toilet paper
