Will woman use it too? Please?
 
2004-12-18 12:02:21 PM
The picture makes it look like those guys were originally going to pee on the church.

Sector Inspector Chris Porter, who is based at Parkside, welcomed the Pee Pods.

He said: "Street urination is symptomatic of the wider problems of anti-social behaviour in the City. I am pleased to support this initiative; it is a good example of how we can solve problems from several angles."


Porter went on to say "Not to mention the tremendous money making opportunities from these Piss Kiosks. ® Each unit is outfitted with a video camera, 802.11g wireless networking, and LAMP software allowing global subscriptions. You'd be surprised the number of people of both sexes that want to watch drunken young men handle themselves and piss on their own shoes."

For details on franchising, please contact the Cambridge City Council.

Classy.

Not like taking a leak in the alley or on the church is either, but why not just have portolets, except for the reason jrsharfan gave?

Not so good if you need a crap, though.
 
2004-12-18 12:13:43 PM
They're not quite as portable as an ipod. That might hurt widespread adoption.
 
2004-12-18 12:19:05 PM
We need to start importing these, now.
 
2004-12-18 12:22:15 PM
Nothing like using a urinal in the middle of the street....

It reminds me of the trough at sprting events.
 
2004-12-18 12:22:17 PM
I really hate those things. Install them at concerts and everybody sees you take a pee. Really embarresing.
But then again I was drunk. It was good enough to even find one of those things in the first place.
 
2004-12-18 12:22:23 PM
I didn't need to know this lol

Jiffy-Johns without doors.

Brilliant!

No it's not, you goddamn idiot. It is symptomatic of not having enough toilets. When people have to go, they go, whether there is a toilet/urinal or not.

Let me put that into an equation

More public toilets=less street urination

Who else thinks that the person on the right side of the photo looks like a girl? Doesn't seem to be male, anyway.

Why would they be using a urinal? Or, more imporantly, HOW are they using a urinal?
 
2004-12-18 12:25:11 PM
Saw these in Amsterdam last year - kind of gross if you ask me.
 
2004-12-18 12:26:34 PM
What stage of the evolutionary ladder have we reached again?

Still, not worse than the pee trough.

just wait till the riots start - pee pods a flyin, hooligan style.
 
2004-12-18 12:31:14 PM
geez....and i got an indecent exposure charge for doing the same thing once....i guess i should haul me and my wanker to britain.......
 
2004-12-18 12:31:14 PM


I hear the urinal cakes make for great post-pub munching.

BubbaChet:

Never seen a girl pee in public?
 
2004-12-18 12:34:43 PM
So, it looks as if there's 4 urinals per-one at each corner. Some idjit will eventually get the idea that tipping these things over on some poor sap would be a great larf.

That would be me.

And people don't see you if you take a pee against a wall in a public place?
 
2004-12-18 12:38:53 PM
these things are great...initially a little embarrasing to use...but beer fixes that.
 
2004-12-18 12:38:59 PM


This blows my whole theory that men are superior to women because we can pee standing up. At least we can still write our name in the snow.
 
2004-12-18 12:40:29 PM
Or....

Seems to me that hanging out at the pub is about as social behavior as you'll ever find. The problem sounds like a lack of facilites, not Anti-social behavior.

That she-rinal thing looks awfully complicated. Nothing like the "point and p*ss" thing we guys have going.
 
2004-12-18 12:44:10 PM
clevershark-

I would have guessed from the picture it was something found on a dairy farm.
 
2004-12-18 12:44:35 PM
The woman in that "She-inal" pic has a bulge in her pants and it's much too big to be camel-toe.
 
2004-12-18 12:46:05 PM
b00m3rang: Sure, women can use it too!

That is the second funniest thing I have seen on the web this year. I am not sure what the first is, but that is classic.
 
2004-12-18 12:48:34 PM
What's with all the goddamn limey threads? I thought this page was red, white and blue!

/damn foreign shiat.
 
2004-12-18 12:50:07 PM
How disgusting!
I was thinking of visiting Cambridge soon -changed my mind.
Maybe England needs the prohibition if "urine stains" are such a problem! If you're not aware of how to be civil enough to know where to pee, then don't drink!

/having a really bad break-up day...

Gavino
The Limey flag is also red white and blue, sillypants.
 
2004-12-18 12:53:04 PM
Only cos we kicked your ass, sadtastic.
 
2004-12-18 12:53:33 PM
How long until U2 gets there own line of Pee Pods? Then again, there last few albums have been crap.
 
2004-12-18 12:57:01 PM
I really need a forum to vent at - any ideas farkers? Or should I spend the rest of my morning in caps lock at you guys? ?!

( unfortunately in love w/a twit and quite serious )

Step 2: Post pictures

Love that product description on the Shenis: "Urine Director." That's sounds like a position worth applying for. Arghhh...
 
2004-12-18 01:05:01 PM
You have to wonder though... where does the pee go?

That thing wouldn't be very helpful if it just spilt urine onto the street.
 
2004-12-18 01:07:01 PM
There's a guy in there with a bucket
 
2004-12-18 01:07:45 PM
That she-inal looks like a 'Lukket' to me..
 
2004-12-18 01:08:15 PM
Iain Coleman, executive councillor for the environment at the city council said it was good to see some imaginative solutions being proposed for a "very unpleasant" situation.

A more imaginitive solution might be arresting the asshats. What a concept.
 
2004-12-18 01:09:04 PM
That same thought crossed my mind just before I posted it.

I see a new entry in the "Ten worst jobs in the world" list...

anything black and white does now.
 
2004-12-18 01:13:28 PM
If I had any Photoshop skilz I'd subtly insert the she-inal into Lukket's infamous home PC pic.
 
2004-12-18 01:14:15 PM
Inadvertantly; the pee flows to the sidewalk they were just on so when theyre done peeing they all step on it.
 
2004-12-18 01:14:17 PM
Well I guess they would be there in Cambridge as thats next to the giant dustbins for the market so that area would be getting washed down anyway.
The closest public toilets are closed hours before so nowhere to go (using the pubs and clubs toilets isn't an issue obviously).

Looks bloody stupid, people will still pee whereever they like and as people have said useless if you need a dump! Or maybe not and the next person will just need to look where they are standing ;)
