Bizarro-world article
But you really need to visit the links to see the truly hilarious illustrations that I assume were provided by the manufacturer.
As I'm reading this, and snickering at the language choices, I realised that many of those among us could find creative uses for this. Or, hell, just enjoyment out of using the product as intended.
The illustrations just kill me. The little angel blessing the peeing bench is just too much.
"Japanese men brought to their knees by angry housewives"... this headline brought to you by the makers of the Tenshi no Hizamakura, literally "Angels Knee Pillow", designed to reduce the distance from the fountain
to the pool by bringing proud men to their knees. I ask you, how could they stoop so low?

We can also ask WHY this humiliating device is necessary in the first place. Here comes the science: according to the manufacturer, House Doctor, urination from a certain height results in hundreds of droplets of spray & splash being ejected from the toilet bowl - yes, they actually COUNTED the droplets - and in Japanese households it's the wife who gets to perform cleanup duties.
Naturally, the ladies are pissed... and when a Japanese woman is confronted with a messy bathroom, you can bet urine trouble. The Tenshi no Hizamakura is the answer to a Japanese woman's dreams (and the cause of Japanese men's nightmares).
