I wonder what Japanese crack team came up with this idea.

It's hard enough to get my husband out of the bathroom now.

Somehow the concept of "heated toilet" and "cooked weiners" sounds awfully painful...

Just don't hit the "ATR" button.

When we first moved into our new house, (completely refinished from the basement up), we kept noticing that there apeared to be condensation on the lid of the toilet. How strange, we said. Then we had a little housewarming party, and there were many people there, and the toilet was being used approximately every 30 seconds or so (beer does that). That's when we noticed that the TOILET WATER WAS HOT!
They had hooked the toilet up to the wrong pipe under the house. So for three days, before we could get someone in to fix it, every time we used the toilet we received a little "butt sauna"

"You pissed all over the seat again!"
"Do you want it warmed up, or not? We can't afford one of those fancy japanese jobbies, you know!"
"Then I guess not."

That's all fine, but what the hell is this?
A third device is an air filter that draws the minus ions it needs from the air and does not need to be filled.
To it's own purpose? Because minus ions are worse for you than second smoke? Because it can?
Maybe there's a scientist in the audience that can explain this one.

Or maybe I'm an idiot. Let's go with that.

Mainichi Shimbun reports that the sensitive toilet was one of three new products unveiled by Matsushita Electric Industrial Company and a subsidiary. Another is a carpet that becomes warm in areas where people are sitting.My carpet does that too, if you wait long enough.

Japanese toilets are crazy enough as it is. I was in Japan a few weeks ago and they have both super high-tech toilets that have several different spray-your-butt-with-water features and toilets that are basicly just holes in the ground. Those were the tricky ones, especially for us women.

Anybody notice the other article on the husband who killed his wife over her bullying? Seems to me if your solution is to kill and then dismember your wife, maybe she wasn't the problem.

I love this sentence: The prosecution said she could have survived if the husband had not left her on the floor and abandoned her for a few days
I dunno what happened. I strangled her, left her unconscious on the floor for 4 days and then chopped her up. I have no idea what happened.

So I buy of these toilets for my wife, thinking it's a loving gesture, and then in our next marital "discussion" she gets to yell that even the goddam toilet is more sensitve than I am?
Pass.

Yeah, but jamester, you'd be able to reply: I buy you an expensive gift and you shit on it!

Heck, just I want to order a wall piece 'decorated with jewellary' for my home, advertised in the sidebar.

Now that toilets are computerized, should we say we're going to "log on"?
Posted by: Christobol | July 20, 2005 at 12:03 PM
C'bol,
*snork*
Posted by: El Norte | July 20, 2005 at 12:18 PM
I don't want to sit on a toilet seat that feels like a 300lb. sweaty man was dealing with constipation for an hour on it just before I sat down..... I don't need to deal with THAT again...
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 20, 2005 at 12:28 PM
And when C'bol is done, he presses the "delete" button.
OK, OK, I know, not nearly as funny as C'bol's comment. Mine never are.
BTW - C'bol - double *snork*

Gives new meaning to "Memory Dump"
Posted by: El Norte | July 20, 2005 at 12:32 PM
Cbol- I think the correct term is "download".
Posted by: elle | July 20, 2005 at 12:38 PM
I just don't get how "toilet" and "electricity" mix. That's just one fixture I don't want plugged into an electrical socket.
Now a butt sauna . . . that sounds really refreshing.

I used to work for Matsushita (Panasonic) Toilet seats have been a favorite for years.

At the magazine studio that I used to work at, they had similar toilets installed. Not only did they heat up, but they had a built in bidet that was controlled by a thing that looked like a Nintendo controller. One day a sweet young thing excused herself from my make-up room and went into the restroom. After a rather long period of time, she returned and, for the next 15 minutes or so looked rather uncomfortable. Finally she broke her silence.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Uhm... how do you use that toilet?"
