MP3-Playing ToiletI've heard of reading the paper and opening your mail while using the John, but a toilet that plays mp3s? I'd have to be in the bathroom for quite awhile to enjoy that!

Akihabara News reports that the Japanese MP3-Playing Toilet has an SD slot so you can add your favorite bathroom tunes.

When I first heard about this, I wondered if when you sat down all of a sudden you'd start hearing "Smokin' In The Boys Room," "Tubthumping," or "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair," but the mp3 player seems to be part of the toilet that is situated on the wall. I think incorporating it into the seat though would be hilarious!

Here's the video that explains it all.

And just for kicks, here's a list of the Top 10 Soft Rock Songs With A Bathroom Connection (yes, this list actually does exist).

Dan Costa's Comment: Just don't drop the SD Card.

 

David Coursey's anti-Comment: Gee, that video could be about almost anything--especially, since I don't speak Japanese. Is this thing actually for sale or is this just another of those dopey Japanese inventions that seem to be produced more for domestic entertainment than commerce? I remember the Japanese toilet that supposedly did medical tests on your waste product.

 

On the other hand, at a technology exhibition in the Netherlands, I did once visit the "bathroom of the future" which had a monitor built into the floor, for viewing the Internet from a seated position.
