Peeing: the video game

Marcel Neundörfer's appropriately named On Target is a urinal based video
game featuring water sensitive (yeah right, water) pressure points connected to an LCD screen. Bringing whole
new meaning to the word "gamer", users of the urinal score points by shooting objects on screen with the
aforementioned water.Inspired by Dan Maynes-Aminzade's final project at MIT (called You're In Control - a pun on urine control), his original design featured a Whack-A-Mole style game and a controller which combined the functions of "nintendo-style game controllers, plumbing equipment, and strap-on dildo harnesses" so girls could have a go. You've gotta see it to believe it.

HAHA!!! Put that ina major bar by a big university and there will be trouble in the bathroom. LOL
I'm surprised this hasn't been thought of sooner.

Looks like she really enjoys pretending to have a penis.

This reminds me of that one scene out of Scary Movie where they have the horse game at the urinals.

I'm worried. Don't they say that 'great ideas' throughout history have been formulated whilst doing ones natural business? It is free, unstructured, undistracted time, available for limitless introspection. As soon as you give our brains (or other useful organ) something distracting to do, that time is lost.
The doom of mankind is near. Prepare to live in a world that is a sterile desert of ideas.

Anybody else find it amusing that Joystiq ran this story just two posts after complaining about somebody's "I EAT POO" screen name?
