Roto-Rooter’s Pimped Out John

From Yahoo/Reuters:

A U.S. plumbing firm has created a luxury toilet equipped with laptop computer and flat-screen TV which it plans to give away in an online sweepstake. Ohio-based Roto-Rooter says its “Pimped Out John” is designed to “fulfil all your wildest bathroom dreams”. Special features include an iPod music player and speakers, an Xbox video game console, a refrigerator filled with drinks and snacks and a cycling exercise machine.

“The average person spends 11,862 hours in the bathroom, which equals one year, four months and five days in a lifetime… a toilet should be the most wonderful location in your home.” Roto-Rooter spokesman Paul Abrams said the firm spent about $5,000 on parts and components to customise the toilet.

I am reminded of the toilet-recliner in Idiocracy. Yes, friends, we’re one step closer to the 26th century.
