Talking urinal cakes offer drinking and driving advice (political ads next??)
Talking urinal cakes offer drinking and driving advice

SANTA FE New Mexico is taking its fight against drunken driving to men's restrooms around the state.
The state has ordered 500 talking urinal cakes that will deliver a recorded anti-D-W-I message to bar and restaurant patrons who make one last pit stop before getting behind the wheel.

The top of the devices feature the state D-W-I slogan -- "You drink, you drive, you lose."

Some Albuquerque bars installed the devices this week.

And the state Transportation Department plans to distribute them to Santa Fe bars and restaurants as well as establishments in Farmington, Gallup and Las Cruces.

The state spent 21 dollars for each talking urinal cake for the pilot program but will ask bars and restaurants to pay for future orders if the idea catch on.

7. That's actually a really good idea, albeit a bit freaky
Any way they could do something in the women's restroom?

8. How is this for a political ad?
Urinal cakes bearing pictures of the GOP candidates. Upon getting wet, they start spouting lies such as, "We are winning in Iraq and we will stay the course!" and "Tax cuts for the wealthiest will trickle down as jobs for the poor." :rofl:

10. Just insert a recording of Bush's voice saying "I'm a real whiz! Heh, heh, heh!"
Could someone leave one on the ground for me? As a woman who'd have trouble aiming into a conventional urinal anyway, I could manage that, for sure.
