These Things Shouldn't Be Allowed To Talk

I have recently learned of an item that makes my soul shiver. Talking, flashing, interactive ads on urinal cakes.

I don't know about you, but I doubt if I would put much faith in a voice issuing up out of toilet.

It seems to me that these things would be far better suited for practical jokes. I can picture, for example, one of those things whispering, "Psst! Hey, buddy! Yeah, you... your fly is down."

I did see one place where these things are being used in a semi-reasonable manner. There's a place in New York where these things are being used in bars to present messages "aimed" (oh! I'm a bad person) at preventing drunk driving.

I'm not going to ask, "What will they think up next?", because I'm afraid of the answer.
