Fun & Games in the men's room.
Video games in the toilet? Man, we really need to be entertained doing everything these days. Installed into a urinal is a pressure-sensitive display screen. As soon as a male begins to relieve himself he triggers an interactive game, with images and sound. Above the urinal is a screen and games revolve around scoring points by shooting the moving images onscreen. This urinal has a functional purpose of making toilets more hygenic by encouraging users to stay on target but also an artistic meaning: a critical-ironic measure, questioning the concept of art, but extending it at the same time. Uhhh yeah, ok whatever you say.

The Parrot speaker system will stream digital music from any Bluetooth-enabled device through the two 60w speakers.Whether if that's from mobile phones, PDAs, MP3 players, Bluetooth-equipped PCs or in fact any A2DP Bluetooth source. For more traditional devices an analogue input caters for CD players, radios, turntables and such. Sounds like a innovative product, but the devil's in the delivery and I'd like to give the Parrots a test flight before giving the thumbs up.
