I'm not sure how to comment on Microsoft's latest idea [yahoo.com] without being predictable. I'll leave that in your hands. Just remember to wash them!

Plasma screens in an outhouse? Cripes, I don't even have a plasma screen in my HOUSE.

What a stupid idea. How long does it take someone to use the bathroom? If you actually find this useful, then perhaps it's time to check your fiber intake.

Plus, I can just imagine how long the lines will get at festivals and fairs and the like. We don't need stuff that will keep people in the toilet LONGER, we need something that'll get people out QUICKER. Like some sort of vaccuum that you...oh, never mind.

iLoo? huh.

I'd like to get an iLucyLu (if only to UNPLUG it), but the wife wouldn't allow me even if someone were to sell it.

Looks like Microsoft's typical internet crap to me.

Those keyboards are going to be so unbelievably disgusting after about three hours.

I hope they put a blocker on porn sites, too.

You're an optimist, aren't you? I can tell.

I give them ten minutes. 20 in the ladies.

Hah. No has ever called me that in my life, but yeah, when you put it that way, I guess so.

If I'm an optimist though, does this mean I have to stop drinking?

A thought though: Not venting the iLoos might be a way to keep people from camping out it there.

Yup, MS has found yet another way to use the Internet to spread viruses...

I'm surprised noone has made a 'Microsoft Outhouse' or 'Microsoft Outhouse Express' joke yet.

Oh. Wait. I just did. Sorry!

Not, mind you, that I really want to contemplate what would make it 'Express'. Although there is that vacuum thing that F.S. mentioned..

This calls for a wacky desktop wallpaper. But damned if I'm going to be the one to do it.

great... another way to add more annoying words to chat... i can just imagine:

ShtCn4U: what's up?
Poopr2035: smao
ShtCn4U: lol, need any tp?
Poopr2035: no, wpg under control...

I think that Bill should be placed in a port-a-potty on a nice july day after the beefy chili eating contest. Yes, that would be nice... hopefully he'd get some disease from the keyboard and lose his fingers to some flesh rot of some sort... it'd make me feel a little better.

I've been to England and their "loo's" are actually suprisingly clean. It closes after your done and does a whole maching thing. All they need now is a toothbrush. Hmmm, maybe not.
Although I do like the idea of a jackoff booth. The world sure would be a much happier place. :)

Well, it's just a joke. Apparently it was an April Fool's joke that they lost in their computer systems or something, and the date was...oh, just read this [com.com]

Something is wrong here. An April Fool's joke, one month late? And it took them this long to tell people it was a joke?

This stinks of a crappy cover-up.

Actually....the news articles that say its a hoax are false. MS hasn't said that it was a prank...they've said that the press release wasn't an "officially sanctioned communication"

meaning, someone in MS actually thought this a good idea and was thinking about going through w/ it

I for one don't like to think about being one of many to handle a particular keyboard while using the toilet, no matter how clean said toilet may be.
