Ski jump toilet stall, for thrill-a-minute bathroom breaks

skidump_front.pngBowel evacuation is about to head down a slippery slope in this specially adorned toilet stall. Step inside, have a seat, and you're surrounded by a realistic view of a ski jump. Place your feet onto the "skis" painted onto the floor, give yourself an imaginary push and you're off into a fantasy world of ski-dumping.

Look at that — you're in the right position for maximum speed! Why would somebody doll up a toilet stall like this? It's an advertisement in Japanese ski resort bathrooms for Coca-Cola's Georgia Mac Coffee, with the brand messaging emblazoned on the toilet paper holder and the back wall.

Looks realistic enough to almost be scary for those of us afraid of heights. That could be beneficial in this setting. March skiers, you'll know what we mean when we say this loo with a view gives a whole new meaning to the term "loose granular."

Reminds me of Elijah Baley, in Asimov's 'Robots of Dawn' story, when he had to stumble round a sort of 3D virtual-reality scene in the loo, and guess where all the right receptacles were - these being prettily 'disguised' as lakes and waterfalls.

Great that's all I need is a bathroom with built in 'high pucker' factor. I could see this causing me to take twice as long as it normally does.

What a god damn pathetic waste. Thrill seeking assholes (pun intended).

I NEED THIS BATHROOM. Tell me where to send the money. Whatever it takes.
