Hi, It’s me. I guess I am back. I know, it’s been awhile. And how odd that I should return with a post about Urinals. I just need a little comic relief. Consider this a gift.
Last work week was a big thrill. A beloved client was featured in the NYT. Great piece with an odd ending, which apparently did not go unnoticed, as we had a Facebook follower ask:*
We noticed this ourselves and a colleague asked me, “What is the fascination with urinals?”
Really? She had to ask? C’mooonnn!
Then, today in my Facebook feed came this piece about urinal Advertising. You know, “The smart urinal that will show you ads while you pee.” (If you are asking why it was in my stream – no pun here – it’s a Magnet for the Absurd thing… just who I am)
I know, of course it’s brilliant! Captive audience. Better than elevator advertising. And there have been countless urinal ad vehicles that have proven themselves through the years.
But THIS – this is my absolute fave – pee-controlled urinal games. Oh why did I not think of this one. Every mother that has ever potty trained a son to sink Cherrios in the toilet would know that this one is a winner! (wait, you all did this with your sons, right?)
I urge you to click through to the site and watch the video, it is hilarious. Think about this. It is great for business. Guys are going to drink more so they can play the game longer. Or multiple times. Winner gets a free drink. The opportunities are endless!
I have to say I am feeling a little more than left out about this.
Urinal envy?
Nah, I don’t know how you guys walk around with those things.

*Side note: Gallaghers happens to have spectacular urinals. I know this because I have taken countless women in there to look at them. Don’t ask. And please don’t judge. Yeh, I have a rather undefined job.
