Restroom Advertising Has Gone Too Far

This evening I went bowling with a few of the guys from work. We had a great time and I bowled four really lousy games.

The low point of the evening was when I went to use the restroom and saw “the new thing” in restroom advertising: Commercials — full motion video with sound — being played on 9″ LCD panels 12 inches from my face while I was using the urinal. Do the advertising companies really think that I’m going to buy something because I saw a commercial for it while I was peeing in a public restroom?

Yeah, wasn’t the first commercial for a knife shop or something like that? I don’t know about you, but when I’m doing my business I REALLY like to be thinking about sharp metal objects.
