British company Captive Media thinks it has developed a product that fills a gap in the market - a urinal mounted, urine-controlled games console for men.
It calls it the first "hands-free" video gaming console of its kind.
The sturdy device sits above the normal oval ceramic urinal bowl, opening up a whole new world of entertainment.
The user is presented with three generous targets to aim for in the urinal: stickers in the unit that read "Start", "Left" and "Right".
The console is able to detect where the urine is falling by means of an infra-red device.
And thus, a rudimentary "joystick" is set up.
Games offered include a skiing challenge, and a multiple choice pub quiz.
Once they have finished their business, customers can use their mobile phones to post their scores to Twitter and a live leader board.
The console unit has a 12 inch LCD screen, and sits behind toughened glass. So it can withstand collateral damage and be easily cleaned.
See for yourself...
Now I know why I need a Twitter account!
Good news for women is that Captive Media also wants to roll out units for the ladies' toilets.
"There are 'good anatomical reasons' that women can't use the original device," Mr MacSween says.

Guys are gonna have to "do their business" for a long time in order to make it all the way down that hill. LOL
(slow at work today?)
Okay...this was not exactly what I had in mind for some good lunchtime reading :P
Sounds like Captive Media missed their target audience (yuk yuk). Perhaps women of potty-training age males might be more interested if they made a few changes...
This is definitely something that belongs only in the ultimate Man Cave gaming collection.
And I hope there is more to Twitter than just that! I've been on the fence about joining the Sheeple...
I’m sooo not sure about this. All I can think about is aim. So many men have... not so good aim to begin with and I'm not sure if this would help or hinder???
Natural progression, I guess. Most guys think if it as a joy stick anyways, right? ROFL!! ;)
Rita, you took the words out of my mouth! Do men really need another reason to enjoy holding themselves??? What happens if they go off course due to poor aim, will they overcompensate the other way and spray their neighbor? Can you picture these at a bar, with the men spending all their time there to get a high score, instead of out with the ladies?
Guy #1: Dude! I just scored!
Guy #2: Is she hot?
Guy #1: No man, not a chick, the skiing game in the bathroom!
2 things-- Now a men's line is going to start forming out the door. The ladies room always has a long line, the men's room never does. It's going to match now.
And? hygenically speaking... EW!!!! How many fingertips will touch that console after peeing and before leaving it to wash hands?
Yeah, I understand your question. WHY OH WHY?!
Guy #3: Oh aint that a great game? I'm reloading for another attempt because I wiped out.
Guy #1: How'd you manage that?
Guy #3: By shaking off...
Guy #2: Well you know... more than twice..............
*uproar of laughter*
holy shit!
Every time I see ROFL I hear Scooby Doo trying to say waffle...
If I am ever to be a great downhill skier, I need to be better hydrated...
LOL
BAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA My daughter and I totally cracked up.
I guess some dudes could down a 6 pack and get high score if their aim wasn't too off.
Oh my ..what Rita said! What about the old guys that have to stand there a really long time to get started?? :)
Shut. Up. No WAY are they really doing this! You know guys would totally get into this- it'd be good for bars because people will probably buy more drinks so they have to pee more so they can play again! And who pees for that long anyways? 55 seconds? I don't think so.
OK...
Firstly, I wonder if this will help guys learn to aim better? Would be nice!
Secondly, I don't envy whoever ends up cleaning the bathrooms after a couple of games have been played!
And, thirdly... Why? Just... Why?
regarding the female anatomy observation of the genius who is marketing this... i just wanted to say "ya think?"
So, are you telling me that if I install one of these in my bathroom the little grandboys will hit the toilet?
Your title says it all... Why?? oh why?!?!
hmmm... all I can think to say is is rhymes with angry birds. ha ha ha.
I remember my sister using cheerios as targets to encourage her boys during potty training.
