Talking Urinal Cake
Now that the summer of cricket is over (even though we’re still shell shocked that the English are going home with a trophy), its time for Boony and Beefy to move over and surrender their talking antics to a “Talking Toilet Babe”.

We’ve given you stuff on this urinal marketing before where guys are are enticed to hit a target while doing their business, but this little contraption fully equipped with a female voice-over actually talks to your penis once it senses motion:

“Hey there, big guy. Having a few drinks? Then listen up. Think you’ve had one too many? Then it time to call a cab or ask a sober friend for a ride hope. It sure is safer and a hell of a lot cheaper than a DWI. Make the smart choice tonight. Don’t drink and drive. Remember, your future is in your hand.”

I guess the gadget has a few things going for it from a promotional product and marketing viewpoint especially for bodies like the TAC and other traffic authorities. It does command a captive audience and creates yet another touch-point when you probably least expect it, but if Boony was chastised by a few social commentators for his invasive antics beside the TV at home, I’d like to hear what they say about this. It’s a pity Pigeon McGrath has finished his cricket in Australia, I kind of like the idea of a urinal cake chanting the “Ooh Aah…Glenn McGrath” war cry!

Today was a sad day knowing that Boony and Beefy had said there last good byes for this cricket season and would need to be forces to talk from now on.

ANy word on if the big man will return next year?
And also, do you know when they will start talking on their own?

Keep up the good work.

We all feel your sadness here at Acurre as well!

Although you may have heard Boony spreading his love with his Valentines wishes yesterday.

Thanks for the support and keep a look out on Carpark for further developments.
