"Your keyboard has 400 times the bacteria than this urinal!!!"
Wait a minute, wait a minute. You advertise on urinal pads and you use improper grammar? We've only got one question, Seal Shield. How much can we legally invest in your company?
Ok, I still don't see what is wrong with the mat, which bothers me because I have a degree in English. Is it the triple exclamation point? If so, that's a job for the Punctuation Police than Grammar Nazis.
I'm not surprised that I can't see the problem with the mat. I stopped playing Braid because I can't seem to figure out some of the puzzles :(
For Levi (and others that cannot see the 'mistake').

Haha in 7th grade we had to collect bacteria from a surface of our choice and place it on a petri dish. Some groups chose the toilets and barely any bacteria grew at all. My group chose the lunch tables and it grew the most bacteria in the whole class.
I think I heard in my History class that back in Roman times people would urinate in buckets of laundry or what not because the properties of urine helped clean it.
We had a really disgusting Health teacher back in High School that, for some reason, decided to tell her class that she would rather screw her doorknob than sleep with her husband.
Well, this story became a legend, and several years later, when my brother went through the same high school, his Bio class had to do a similar bacteria-swab experiment and a bunch of the kids interrupted her class to swab her knob. Gross.
Also, @ Quattro:
That's true. It serves as a kind of natural bleach.
Does that kind of advertising really work? Personally speaking I never look down at a urinal for 4 reasons: 1- I've seen piss going into drains many times already and frankly, it's old. 2- There can be some gross shit at the bottom 3- I don't own the urinal, which means it's not in my house, therefore I don't care if I'm missing or spraying all over it. -when you're eyes start drifting around down there, there's always a chance of a cross-wang glimpse and I don't need that kind of stuff on my mind.
You make good points. However I always look down at the urinal. My reasons for this are two-fold:
1.) Ensure that there are no splashback/spray malfunctions. Keeping a check on the correct angle and velocity visually ensures an efficient stream with minimal sprayback.
2.) I believe looking directly down REDUCES cross wang glimpses, something I'm sure that most of us prefer to avoid.
I always think it's funny when someone is so far forward they are practically in the urinal. I've been tempted to say "It's okay, I promise not to look."
If I was in a washroom and saw some guy pissing all over the urinal because it wasn't in his house and he didn't care, I'd probably think it was mighty weird.
yea it's not really a gamer-centric event. it's more about the regular gadgets (phones, cameras, laptops, etc.)
definitely check out that Palm Pre on Engadget though. i've been watching it all day. certainly a device for the ages if your into smartphones, that is.
SO basically the toilet is the cleanest place in our house?
this month alone i've read that dish cloths/cutting boards/kitchen sinks/bath towels/keyboards/handbags have 1000s the times of bacteria of your toilet.
I've started doing my washing up in the toilet just to be safe..
No, not clean, just low amounts of bacteria. It's like saying a dog's mouth is clean. Or saying that fertilizer is clean. It's the fact that it's dog slobber or poop that makes it dirty.
There's a great Andy Richter clip on this, but I couldn't find it on youtube :/
