How about putting a tv on the inside of the bathroom door, activated by saying your name or something. Then you wouldn't have to read all the crap on the back of shampoo bottles and stuff.
You could have it totally voice-activated "channel 20", "volume up" etc.
Shouldn't be too difficult.

Besides, you might be in the bath or the shower, or shaving or something. |
|
|
And you must have experienced the really stubborn numbers that require both effort and patience. |
|
|
Well we have TV's, we have bathroom doors, and a remote control would be a "something", so I guess this idea already has a solution. |
|
|
Um, just don't throw the door open too quickly... |
|
|
Stubborn numbers...like the terrible twos?
Must pee TV |
|
|
Alternatively, you could place a wireless, touch screen,
LCD web browser on the door. |
|
|
Or a WebCam. Oh hang on - maybe not. |
|
|
[thumbwax] the terrible twos is right.
sometimes you can be there for ages.
much better to have something to think about while you're ' at it' |
|
|
a webcam? now we're gettin into the realm of dodgy german videos containing baths women and squatting old men!
nasty. |

In a shared house I lived in some years ago, we had a collection of humorous books in the toilet, which we names (rather tweely) the Loobrery. |

Quick: delete this idea before some marketroid gets wind of it. I can hear it now: "That's it! TV advertising in public restrooms! It's a captive audience! Guaranteed eyeballs! We'll be RICH, I tell you, RICH!!!" |
|
|
[Mutt] all part of a cunning plan...
[mickey the Fish] i like it... loobrary, could catch on. |
|
|
maybe one section of the toilet door could be leased to amazon.com. the whole door could be your personal homepage. you could call the place a webicle or a W3C (instead of just W.C.) |

[mutt, franco] In Britain we already have public toilets with poster advertising in them, tho not the inside of the cubicle door (coz you hang yr jacket there), just above the urinals and suchlike. It's sort of amusing coz it's always really macho products they advertise like wrestling video games (at least in the mens'). |
