Hasta La Gadget!

I know for a fact that I’m not the only guy who LOVES peeing into public urinals that have a bed of ice cubes at the base. I assume bars and clubs place the ice there to damper any “ricochet” from hitting the floor and to mitigate the sometimes pungent aroma of rented beer. But whatever its purpose, peeing on ice is fun! The cubes melt away into nothingness as soon as they come into contact with the warm stream of urine. It’s exactly like playing Super Breakout. With pee. This is the secret game of men everywhere. Taking this phenomenon to the next logical level, the good people at Sega have created a video game system built for public receptacles that you can play with your urine.

The system includes a screen directly over the urinal that reacts to the liquid it collects. The system can be a benefit for bars and clubs looking to keep any mess off the floor by providing a “reward” for drunken patrons to collect their fluid deposits in the right location. It also gives pee-ers an activity to occupy their mind during the isolated act of urination. And Sega will get a chance to sell advertising space for a very captive audience.

Everybody wins.

(For you ladies who are looking for the men in their lives to be more open about their inner psyches, this is an example of some of the things we keep inside. Think long and hard if this is really what you want to hear more about.)
