New Mexico introduces talking urinals
RIO RANCHO, New Mexico (AP) — New Mexico is hoping to keep drunks off the road by lecturing them at the last place they usually stop before getting behind the wheel: the urinal.

The state recently paid $21 US each for about 500 talking urinal-deodorizer cakes and put them in men’s rooms in bars and restaurants.

When a man steps up, the motion-sensitive plastic device says, in a woman’s voice that is flirty, then stern: “Hey, big guy. Having a few drinks? Think you had one too many? Then it’s time to call a cab or call a sober friend for a ride home.”

That made me giggle. XD
But what about the gay drunk men? Don't they deserve some flirty guy's voice? lol

It actually says "Hey, big guy"? Good lord.

I wonder how they decided which urinals to put them in...

Hee. I could give you a link, if you wanted. This is exactly the type of story I pay $3/month to get on my phone. I mean, I get more than just the wtf news, but honestly, the wtf news is the reason I'm pay. It's golden! *insert urine joke here*
