Hot or Not? Ski Jump Bathroom

An end of the day chuckle, perfect for Bathroom Month:
"A Japanese coffee company, Georgia Max Coffee, modified the bathrooms of ski areas around Japan to promote their coffee energy drinks. This is probably the most exciting bathroom I've ever seen!" — Dahlia Rideout

OMG! When I stare at it too long, I start to get nauseous. Good thing it's a bathroom.

I wonder if you push one of those buttons on the toilet's control pad if the floor drops out from under you and you are, in fact, on top of a mountain! Weeeeee! I mean Pooooo!

people on drugs


this would end up ugly
they would think they were falling through the floor and i think either
a. be a very big mess to clean up
b. someone just shrieking being like duuuuuuuuuudddeeee wtf!!!!
c. rushing out of the room as fast you can and asking where theres another bathroom you can use
d. just flat out passing out
e. having a line out the door about a mile long cause the persons been sitting in there for so long trying to figure out what was going on


ooooo or a drunk person in the morning not knowing where they are and then going in the bathroom kinda eyes closed sleepy dreary feeling you get in the morning and then kinda coming back into reality and looking around and being like oh duude not cool hahahahahah
thats my opinon


now for a sober person

a. freaking out
b. rushing out asking where theres another bathroom

I saw this on geekologie.com earlier today. I'd be too scared to actually try ski jumping, so I really want to use this bathroom! I wish I knew where it actually was so I could send my friends in Japan to scope it out for me!

Hah! Hilarious (as are some of the comments here). What I wanna know is if those skis are a bit of tromp l'oeil or if they're actually real. If they're real, the I'd be a little grossed out. All those little crevices filling up with contagion... ::shudders::

I second kwr729- this only works if those skis are faux, otherwise, too many feet in the footholds, if you know what I'm saying.

I also like how simply_hibiscus' mind immediately goes to how this will effect people on drugs. Judging by the post- this is not the first time...

i think this would be cooler if instead it is a short clip of the scene projected to the wall. so the throne would be like a seat for a theme park like ride.

so the person sits at the toilet, then the image becomes a video of some sort and then the jump will play, hopefully making the person poo faster. in addition, like the 3d rides in theme parks there should be a fan making the room colder, and as the jump occur the "breeze" gets colder and faster so that the person will feel the thrill as if they were really doing the jump themselves.

This is too funny! I'd go for it in a commercial setting. (Does it come equipped with a cow bell to rally you on?)

I hope you all don't forget Japan's other great bathroom, the Aquarium Toilet.

not for a residence, of course, but this is really cool.
