For now it's being used to warn guys to not drink and drive. But it could be used for all kinds of things like advertisements.

Nassau Using Talking Urinals To Discourage DWI

In their continuing efforts to get the word out that drunk driving won't be tolerated, Nassau Country police have initiated a pilot program featuring talking urinals, WCBS 880's Sophia Hall reports.

The Wizmark Urinal Communicator is a plastic cover that that rests just above the urinal's drain. It boasts a 3.5-inch plastic screen that displays lenticular images -- digital files that have been specially prepared and then printed onto the back of a thin transparent lens material.

According to its manufacturer, "The device automatically recognizes the presence of a 'Visitor' and after a brief delay allowing the viewer to get properly positioned, proceeds to emit a very audible pre-recorded 15 second message stating "Hey you Yea You, having a few drinks? Then listen up!

"Think you had one to many then it's time to call a cab or call a sober friend for a ride home. It sure is safer and a hell of a lot cheaper than a DWI. Make the smart choice tonight, don't drink and drive," the message continues.

The Wizmark -- which was paid for by DWI fines -- is being be distributed free to bars located Nassau County.

So, guys, how do you feel about having a conversational urinal?

Same as I feel about anything intrusive when I'm drinking . . .

I piss on 'em . . .

Well, I don't drive . . . haven't owned a car in damn near four years, so that doesn't apply to me personally . . . but honestly, if I was blitzed, I'd hardly be paying attention to what I was pissing on.

Kind'a funny, though . . .

 

[Boxlicker101]

Personally, I think urinals should be seen and pissed in, not heard. If I had been drinking, and I went to pee and the pisser started talking, I would think it was the DT's or something.

 

[scheherazade_79]

I think urinals should tell men to wash their hands, too, because for the amount of time most guys spend in there, there's no way they could have washed their hands afterwards

Some guys solve that by not peeing on their hands.

So let's turn the tables, 3113 . . . say you go into a stall in a woman's restroom at a club . . . strip down your panties, sit on the rim . . .

"Don't drive drunk"

Think you'd enjoy the message?

Damn all this PC bullshit . . .

Of course urinals should talk. Sometimes, you NEED to chat with somebody, anybody! And who better to trust than the porcelain friend who takes your piss and never gives you any shit in return? Someone who loves you, who accepts you for what you are, who takes your never-ending stream of piss and never judges you. Your urinal is your friend. You should learn to trust him. Better than talking with that slut whore of a girlfriend who is always plotting to castrate you behind your back!

Not that I'm bitter or anything. Nope, not at all......Carney

Lithium, Prozac . . . or maybe just a good, long walk in cool, clean air . . . that's what you need . . .

Uh-huh... and what about the guys who did pee on their hands without washing, and then touched the flush, the light switches and the doorhandle? In fact, everything that other guys touch after they've had their ultra-hygienic pee?

And then you'll be coming back from the toilets and expecting some poor girl to hold your hand...

Most urinals flush automatically when you step away from them; the light is left on until closing, and you just push the door open without touching a knob or handle. At least, most rest rooms operate that way.

And, after you've scratched your ear, tucked you breasts back into your top, or casually touched the inside of your thigh . . . ?

Think guys are the only ones non-hygienic?

Unless of course the urinal is saying, "Is that all you've got?"

Now, if only the Wizmark could analyze the piss & customize the message:

• Whoa, buddy! You've had WAY too much to drink. Your piss is 40 proof!
• I think you should call in sick on Monday, pal. You won't pass that random drug test.
• Get thee to a doctor! You need an antibiotic.

Are breasts unhygienic then?

I say piss on it.

I hear enough voices as it is.

I'll be happy to volunteer to test them for cleanliness.

Ideally, a urinal should gently massage my balls while I pee.

It would be nice to have any urinals that are available when the streets are full of people who have been drinking.

Locally the number of places that sell alcohol into the early hours of the morning have increased substantially but all the toilets close at 8pm.

When people leave the places of entertainment there are no toilets open and returning to the licensed premises is usually not allowed.

So people get arrested for peeing in the street (males and females). There's nowhere else to go.

The toilets are closed because they were vandalised by drunks. Now they get vandalised by drunks BECAUSE they are closed. Any ornamental bushes in our town centre are dying from overdosing on alcoholic pee.

A talking urinal would be nice if it was open 24/7.

Personally, I think urinals should talk and have hands so they can point and giggle

What I'm wondering...
on CNN they showed the bar guy putting them in each of 4 urinals...
does that mean when it's crowded they'll all be yapping away...
not synchronized at all.

That's scary! I'd vandalize a talking urinal wall like that.

 

[mjl2010]

I don't usually use the Urinals. I prefer the stalls where I can pee in peace. Last thing I'd want is some toilet talking to me. Of course if it were words of admiration, then maybe...

Urinal: Oh nice one.
Me: Thanks. She thinks so too.
Urinal: Um I see you've been drinking. No driving now.
Me: Piss off please. Of course I've been drinking. This is a bar.
Urinal: Leave your keys with the bartender then.
Me: Piss off.
Urinal: Ok I'm calling the cops.

Uh uh. That's the next step in this. Just wait an see.

Well, the current, recorded voice on these things is female. I'd just assume it was coming from the woman in the next stall and that she was talking to a friend either in another stall or waiting outside at the mirror.

There is that difference in the sexes. From what I understand, men don't talk while pissing. Women most certainly do. In fact, if said restroom has more than one stall, I don't think any woman is going to hear the message over the chatter and activity that's going to be going on in that bathroom.

And that's all I can say on the subject. Vows of secrecy prevent me from revealing any more of what happens when ladies retire to the restroom...but I assure you, they DO wash their hands before they touch their breasts.
