Question of the Week 08/07/03:T

Our question this week comes from young Graeme Davis. He passes along this exciting story:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3101849.stm.

To make a short story shorter, a Japanese corporation is preparing to sell luxury toilets on the international market. For only $4,000, you can have a "21st century toilet" packed with high-tech gadgetry. But what do you expect for your $4,000? We want to know:

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM YOUR JAPANESE LUXURY TOILET?


"Luke, you've turned off your targeting computer! What's wrong?"

Must be able to defeat the Smog Monster. Must also defeat Gamera, Ghidra and Mecha-Japanese-Luxury-Toilet.

It needs some feature to automatically remove things stuck in the toilet. Like, you know, the economy and stuff.

How can you go wrong with Rich Corinthian Leather?

"Toiletchu, I choose you!"

I wanna ROCK!  You know...  To put in the tank so it conserves water.  For $4,000, it should come with one preinstalled.

All I can say is, it better save John Connor or we're all screwed.

Be able to play the new hot game that's all the rage in Japan - Poop Poop Revolution!  Eeeeee!

While I'm excited about owning my very own Japanese luxury toilet, I'm afraid that I'll have to compete against the Toilet Acrobatic Team.

At that price, I just know there's a pony in there somewhere.

No smart-ass comments.  Instead, smart ass-comments.

I just want to know one thing: Why is it made out of graham crackers?

Hey, look everybody!  The next D&D movie is already in there!  That's one smart toilet.

Holy Crap!

Uh, it to cost less than $4K?

If it could keep my vigorously unprofitable, conceptually circumspect dot-com from going bankrupt, I'll build a whole top floor for it with a snazzy "executive bathroom."  Please, God, I-- what?  Why, yes.  My name is Mike Moniz.

Hi-C Fruit Punch bidet!  Eeeeee!

I want it to be large enough to have a real live Ti-D-Bowl man paddling around in a little boat.

Wadded up toilet paper would look like origami before it goes down the pipes

Beethoven's 5th Movement.

Instead of water, it should flush with berry-blasted Blue Pepsi™.

Pachinko- It's more fun than Cats. I'll play it again and again!

A nice, calming, gator-head motif

I pull down my pants with my normal rubber-ducky boxers, and pull them up with pre-teen pre-worn pink panties.   Eeeeee!

Safeguards against terrorist attacks by the fringe element in the TidyBowl society

A side-car with a racing stripe

I need it to manufacture weapons of mass destruction out of nothing.  And quickly.  What?  Why, yes, I am either Kim Jong Il or George W. Bush.

I'm not buying a toilet from the Japanese.  For all I know, it can only be serviced by some coin-grubbing Italian plumber.

That recipe for chicken salad.

A sweet, lemony taste

Can I flush it by clicking a Shit Can icon?

Instead of saying "Talk to me.  TAAAALK TO MEEEE!" when you're on your drunken knees, it'll say, "Converse with me.  CONVERRRRSE WITH MEEEE!"

Customized toilet seat with the inside inscription that reads: "This way to Monster Island"

I wanna rock! (ROCK!)  Dun-duhnuhnuuuuh, etc.

A wet bar. Definitely a wet ... hmm. Nevermind.

A pot of gold.

Mind Waste, Lady Gone.

A chicken in every pot.

Can it flush?

Quadrophonic speakers built into the seat

Will it do windows?

A magazine holder that frees up my other hand

How about a self-cleaning model?

A WotC-scenario generation feature

Huh?  Sorry, I was totally distracted by an actual TV spot for the "Weird Al" concert.  I bet he likes his precious luxury toilet!

For $4,000, it should have a guy who will shit for me.  Or maybe a robot.

Duh!  "First Penis Shooter" games!  (Introducing the first Head-Down Display targeting system)

Dubya's dopey, grinning visage painted inside the bowl, staring up at me.

A cup-holder that can't be mistaken for a CD player

Holographic glory-hole computer program with several complimentary fantasy programs included


*And merging the science of the future with a nostalgic favorite from the past…*

Sea Monkeys!
