BECAUSE NOTHING SAYS 'HAPPY HOLIDAYS' LIKE THE SQUATTING POSITION
Actual press release:
Need a good gift for health-conscious family and friends? Give the gift of a better bathroom experience this holiday season with the Squatty Potty, a toilet footstool that makes it easier to assume the squatting position for more effective colon elimination.
(Thanks to Claire Martin)

At three for the price of two, it would make a very considerate hostess gift to install at the beginning of any party and leave behind as a reminder of your visit.

Yes, there were no colons used in the promotion of that product!
Me, I'd call it "Squatty:Potty" and see who noticed....

3 stools for the price of 2
They charge you by the stool now? Is there a coin slot or can I just swipe my ATM card?

Helps keep that planet healthy too. You know the one.

Pluto? No, they down-graded it. It's only a minor ...
What?

An absolute essential for the so-called "handicapped-accessible" public stalls.

Apparently that is the best position for, umm, lower regional health. Prevents hemorrhoids (or was that stairoids?) and hernias and such.
I do not intend to test that theory out, however.

They to sell some type of crane device to help the squatters get back up.

I suppose you could swipe your card, but why not use the paper?

I'd have to see an actual stool sample before buying.

I lived in Asia for three years, way back when I was not on the geezer bus. And the effect of squat toilets on my football knees was not good. Plus there was always the concern about 25-foot-long pythons grabbing your dangly bits. I will pass on the squatter pooper, Santa.
