I don't know what to think. This is almost as strange as Yatta.

[Krusty]

umm . . . no. just no.

This just ain't gonna happen.

1. At an event that requires a portable toilet, most people would rather be participating in the event than surfing on the crapper. Also, a bunch of these toilets would amount to really, REALLY long bathroom lines if the people did use them.

2. Wireless keyboard? Hey everybody, I've got a new keyboard!

3. Plasma screen? I'll bring a screwdriver with me.

3. 802.11b wireless? How are they going to get the internet to the toilet? 802.11b only travels a couple hundred feet. They'd have to set up some sort of wireless server around the toilets to give access to all the toilets. And if they do that, I'll bring a laptop and get the net for free.

4. I used to work at mcdonalds. I have seen fecal matter in the toilet, on the toilet, on the walls, in the sink, on the floor. I'm sure there will be plenty on the keyboard, on the plasma screen, and in the fan ducts for the computer.

5. I wouldn't want to use one of those toilets. A major use of the internet is porn. A major use of public restrooms is for sexual (often homosexual) activity. I definately wouldn't want to touch that keyboard.

Krusty is the man, because he pretty much read my mind.

My question is WHY? WHY DO YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR EMAIL ON THE POT? Although I will admit I'm guilty of doing so, I don't see the point of embracing it.

Maybe this would be good for your own home, and if you didn't have a PC in your bathroom cabinent. A public restroom is just a huge no-no.

This merits a quote from a recent 8-bit theater (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=030408).
"That's wrong on more levels than I can count, and they're both really basic levels too."

[DDR-PIII]

i wouldnt even wanna touch that keyboard :S

[Supertrucker]

ummm.... no. thats just wrong

I don't use Portajohns as it is, Sticking the internet in one won't make me use it.

Honestly, I've used Pinecones and bushes rather than using Portajohns.

I hate them. I hate them more then you can imagine

Wow, it appears that you must have had a very traumatic experience with a portapotty in your childhood.

[hypnosis]
Look back. Back into the past. Back into your early childhood. You were at an outdoor event. a fair perhaps? You had to use the restroom and it couldn't wait to get home. Please, tell me what happened[/hyphosis]

Someone left the seat up and you with your scrawny childhood a** fell through into a pool of s*** when you sat down, didn't you! DIDN'T YOU!

I hope my therapy has helped you learn from this traumatic event. Please don't blame the cybercrapper. The cybercrapper is your friend. Respect the cybercrapper. Love the cybercrapper.

[Beast Of Blight]

No, actually, I was in hte park.. had to use the bathroom. Ran to the porta potty, opened the door. There was fecies piled three inches deep over the entire floor, Encrusted on the walls, Overflowing from the toilet pool, It was something so sick that even the crew from the MTV Show Jackass wouldn't have touched it.

Ever since then I do NOT use portajohns. Honestly, I opt for bushes, trashcans, whatever before I'll EVER use a Portajohn

[fiji]

thats really stupid, why would you want to surf while your in one of those smelly things?

they are retarted

[possessed3000]

hurray, finally we're gonna be able to crap on microsoft stuff:D

Yeah, you beat me to it, TPC! I'll just get my few thoughts in here:

Sigh--Introducing the MSN "iLoo"

I know this story comes from Reuters, and that it's NOT April 1, but things like this really make me wonder...

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm.../170/3zk3j.html

"MSN--Bringing Software and Hardware Together!"

I don't know about any of you, but I don't think I'd be using THAT keyboard--at least not without rubber gloves!

However, this may be the first true evidence of "innovation" originating from Microsoft.

This is looking more and more like it's for real. Though, it appears to be limited to the U.K. (for now).

This news is just SO RIPE for parody -- and PUN. I expect to hear something form Letterman and Leno any time now.

from Microsoft UK Press Link
A plasma screen will be located directly in front of them which can be adjusted to a desired height level. MSN is also in talks with toilet paper manufacturers to produce special web paper for those in need of URL inspiration.


Who would YOU like to have wiping your bum?

"Microsoft -- Where do you want to go today?" (TM)

LOL--This is just TOO easy!

"Hey, what's taking so long in there?"

"Shaddup, will ya--I'm about to level up my Elven Druid/Mage/Assassin!"
or
"Quiet--I'm watching the new Matrix Revolutions trailer in all its 6-channel sound glory!"
or
"Hang on--I'm on DrKoop.com. I'm trying to figure out what this rash is all over my body..."
or
"I'm almost done. I'm e-mailing myself a copy of the history file on this machine."

Is this a hoax?
