Promoting Prostrate Awareness

http://in.reuters.com/article/2013/03/27/us-usa-urinals-pennsylvania-idINBRE92Q10C20130327

Are you a die-hard video fan and hate to break away to shower, eat, or go to the bathroom?  Guess what?  If you live in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs' Coca-Cola Park has installed urinal video games to play while you "Pee". 
 
The game is hands-free and is played by directing your urine left or right and although there is only one game to pick from, which consists of riding a snowmobile and hitting penguins along the way, it occupies your time and has pop-ups promoting prostrate awareness and to have a screening.

These games have been set up in the UK, but it is the first in the US, and will be shown next week at a promotional minor league baseball game.

People do come up with strange ideas, and I guess this is one of them.  I wonder if it will catch on or go down the drain.

I guess anything for a buck, but I sure would hate to be someone on the cleaning staff....what will they think of next!

  1. I love the article you selected! it is not only innovative, but a little comical as well. Videos, TV, and video games while you do your business is quite funny, but not entirely a strange idea. We certainly shall see whether this "will catch on or go down the drain."
