Talking Urinals?

From Koat.Com:

“New Mexico has taken its fight against drunken driving to men’s restrooms around the state.

The state has ordered 500 talking urinal cakes that will deliver a recorded anti-DWI message to bar and restaurant patrons who make one last pit stop before getting behind the wheel.

The top of the devices feature the state DWI slogan — “You drink, you drive, you lose.”

Women go to the ladies room in a group, chit-chat or whatever, and emerge about a half hour later much to the chagrin of their dates.

When a guy enters a restroom, he goes to a urinal, looks neither to the right or the left, does his business and makes a quick exit.

Men do not engage in small talk in the mens room, if a guy even glances in your direction, you start to wonder about his sexual orientation.

That’s why I fear that the talking urinal cakes may get a guy so frazzled he will gulp another beer for the road.

Urinal cake: Mister, please don’t drink and drive.

Man doing his business: What the…? Drink, yeah that’s just what I need right now. Damn, I’m not done, but I’m gonna get the hell out of here as fast as I can.

    That is one of the most stupid things I’ve heard! If I were a guy, that would really creep me out! Wouldn’t it be better to just put up an ad on the wall in front of the urinals? LOL.

    The term “urinal cake” is the most unappetizing thing I’ve heard in a while. I wish they didn’t call them “cakes”, whatever the heck those are. LOL.

    How about cakes in women’s toilets that say something like, “Dont Drink and Ho”. Or maybe “You’re done peeing, now close your damned legs ho!”…Or how about Don’t Drink and F***”. Oh wait, that last one should be for men instead. For we all know the repurcussions of messin with a drunk skank….

    Ahem…

    Typical!
    Another way to discriminate against men. Like its only men who get DWI’s and its only men who drink.
    Load of Crap!
    I think I would turn around and take a crap in one if it said that.
