- 12Volts, on 10/12/2007, -2/+41So when it gets down to it - this device takes the piss and talks ***** all at the same time.
- monkbone, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31Would only be interesting if the urinal actually tested for alcohol. This is just a lame recording that everyone is forced to hear.
- dako, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Since they started calling it Wii I guess =/
Oh well, they should've expected these kind of jokes when they changed the name from revolution, hehe. - Jaq524, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I think just the fact that a urinal is saying ANYTHING to me would make me realize that I shouldn't be on the road...
- DapperScoo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14I may be tragically unhip here, but since when is "Nintendo" a euphemism for urine?
- 7of7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14That's the last thing I need to hear when I'm draining the ol' lizard. "I'm afraid I can't let you do that Dave" zzzaaap....
- colinmhayes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10personally, I don't want what I'm pissing at talking back to me, but I'm no R. Kelly.
- antipasta, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Urinals only? Seems a little sexist to me.
- t928, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Maybe he just wrote the article when he was drunk. I doubt his keyboard would talk to him if he did.
- 12Volts, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8It's not exactly high tech is it - now if it disabled your car based on the alcohol content of your urine - we could start to be impressed.
- RadiatedAnt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yet another reason for me to take a leak on someones car tire ;-)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5They better piss-proof the speakers!!!
- colinmhayes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5now watch as you get modded down.
- mike_p, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Right on... I was hoping to hear that maybe the urinal device can actually "detect" the smell of alcohol on your breath and THEN maybe trigger the mp3. If I'm sober, I don't want to hear that *****.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6this would freak out drunks.
they will be taking a piss and all of a sudden, they hear a voice out of nowhere.
Urinal: "You have drank too many alcoholic beverages."
Drunk: "WTF... Is that... you, God? *burp*" - pjsk8, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Let me guess, you're underage? Yup, thought so.
Not as many people as you think know when they've had too much to drive. You'd konw that if you drank quite often. - theLEGENDisBACK, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2LOL.... This is a funny idea i wish i was in the boardroom when that guy came up with this. "I got it, a talking urinal that warns drunks who could hardly distinguish any words in the state their in!"... I hope this comes out so i can get a good laugh the next time im at a bar... People will walk in and think im talking to my manhood lmaooo...
- MrFoo2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Talking urinals? I'll just use the sink, then.
- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The urinal will be hosted by MADD, and the hostess will do the wiggle for you.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So, how are you going to know if your drunk if the urinal talks to you normally?...
I can hear it all ready..."This is the daily giz wizzz and today's gadget is the Wizmark Urinal Communicator!" - noneloud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2For what I know is not going to be the last time....The Inquirer and The Enquirer are two different sites.
The inquirer, a respectible tech news site: http://www.theinquirer.net/
The Enquirer, a gossip mgazine and website: http://www.nationalenquirer.com/
They are very similar in name, but radically different in substance. - Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I keep hearing people say that, but they never actually submit links to back the statement up...
- tun3rofsteel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1whoever wrote that article needs to take a grammar and spelling course
- wjw75, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2At least they're using it for something beneficial...I was in a bar in Cardiff, and they were using a similar sounding thing for adverts.
- Archon810, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm wondering where this magical Nassau "Country" is, so maybe I could visit...
- ajb2015, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Wait...do they just talk to anyone? or do they sense alcohol in the urine?
- bayonetblaha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1while I agree he probably confused Enquirer and Inquirer, i'm a little suspicious of the author's english:
"POLICE in Nassau Country are installing plastic censors in pub urinals that lecture punters about the perils of drink driving."
mispelling "sensors" IS kind of a twelve-year-old mistake... it just jumped out at me right from the 8th word I read. - AvatarKava, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@ FreakTrap
While I don't disagree, it does have a link to WCBS Radio, one of the largest AM stations in the metro NY area http://www.wcbs880.com/pages/39301.php.
Nassau County is part of Long Island, NY. - Solidcell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Misleading title, they don't detect BAC.
The author is a bitch. He got people to check his article by using "tech" in the article, which leads people to suspect more than just some recording. Yea... this "tech" has been available longer than any PC, real advanced... - liverpoolfc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Can't wait for v2 that actually analyses the contents and then via some wireless means won't let you start the cars ignition!
- JohnnySoftware, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1No, no. If you pee in the sink, it will detect the urine and make insulting remarks. ;-)
- FortyCaliber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yet, another method of freaking out drunks...
If they aren't going to listen to their friends... why would they listen to a urinal?
or
Yet another thing for drunks to piss on in the bathroom. - RadiatedAnt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1They should install air horns outside bars spamming this crap too, its basically the same thing...Genious!...in the eyes of the police department...
- skubiszm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This could backfire. Tucker Max wrote a story about the time he took one of those personal breathalyzers to a bar. All it succeeded in doing was to get him into a drinking contests with other patrons to see who was the most drunk. Either way sounds like fun.
- Rmplstltskn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"***** YOU!! I'M NOT DRUNK! YOU'RE DRUNK!"
- gui3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how did i not know about this?
i'm an assistant district attorney in Nassau County
i'm one of 5 ADA's that handle nothing but DWI's all day.
i guess they just don't tell us about this stuff.
would work better if they told you exactly how much a DWI was going to cost you....couple thousand on the low end and at least 6 months without a license - jerrysizzler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1took the words right out of my mouth...
...but then again, maybe i was too busy lamenting the grammar in the blog post
...but then again, who the hell cares; the web's full of 10th grade ideas with 3rd grade grammar - colinmhayes, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2sweet
- raccettura, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Sorry... I won't wip my dick out at anything that talks, if it's only collecting urine.
;-) - noneloud, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1eww....hahaha
- msaleem, on 10/12/2007, -13/+7You are a funny, funny man, my friend.
- hattrick35, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggggghttttt...
- macofish, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0What a waste of money. You should know when you've had enough to drink and not drive. No digg.
- techlinks, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1How about...don't drink.
- FreakTrap, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2Get this ***** off of Digg.
The Inquirer is a retarded web site, with nothing but 1/2 truth storys that look like they are written by 12 year olds.
And I Quote: "...the perils of drink driving."
Reported as Lame.
