Jan 29 2009No, Nuh-Uh, No Way: The Robo-Urinal

Allegedly this robo-urinal holds your junk while you pee. For once in my life I'm really praying it's a Photoshop job or some really sick art project. You know the rule about having at least a urinal of separation between you and another dude in the bathroom? Well there are not enough urinals in the world to safely separate you from this thing. I wouldn't even feel safe pissing in the women's room sink.
Oh Hell No [tinypic]

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max joined the army reserves to get some extra money and hang out with his buddies 1 weekend a month. Later his unit was called to Iraq, but on the plane ride he fell asleep in a vehicle that was accidentally dumped from the plane over mexico. The guys all thought they were in Iraq, and went to war against a band of desperados who were terrorizing a small town.

@ Daisy--
I don't think you fly over Mexico to get to Iraq....just a thought.
5th!

Could anybody possibly be dumb enough to put their junk in a ROBOT?!?
7. the Commish - January 29, 2009 1:18 PM
FAIL!! This post fails on so many levels. Who the hell cares!?
This is just like when one guy claimed a robot definitely might have disobeyed one of the 3 rules. No one believed him because the machines were programmed to perform to perfection and couldn't have possibly committed a crime against humanity. A crime so horrifying and unthinkable that not even a psychologically insane human would consider it. Yes, that robot decided that its purpose in life was that of a servant in a posh hotel in downtown New York.
The robot applied for work as the world's first 'junk holder' at the local Hilton. It was an instant hit with guests until they realized the robot wasn't washing its hands inbetween urinal users. The board of health immediately wanted to decommission that robot by dropping it into a boiling pot of liquid metal but, upon discovering they'd have to pay residual trademark rights to the people that kill Terminators, they decided against it. Luckily, Paris Hilton was in town and staying at that particular Hilton that night and needed a robot servant.

Oh no he didn't. ::snap, snap::

@8 <------post fail
10. Hunter - January 29, 2009 1:35 PM
I've got to agree with Moose Knuckle, scrolling over that ridiculousness made me colon itch REALLY bad, now what the hell am I supposed to do??
As for the urinal, I'm not a big fan of service robots... just don't trust 'em.
11. Hunter - January 29, 2009 1:36 PM
made MY colon itch, sorry, it's still early in the morning for me here on the west coast :P
12. Ark - January 29, 2009 1:39 PM
My god, how does a fail so big manage to post? @8
13. Bran - January 29, 2009 1:39 PM
Is that a....camera...on top??
14. no no no - January 29, 2009 1:42 PM
DELETED
15. Thumperchica - January 29, 2009 1:44 PM
Creepy... creepy, creepy.... creepy. Do not put penis into robot hand... bad, bad idea...
16. Woody - January 29, 2009 1:44 PM
This is probably just for when you take a drug test. You can see the camera at the top is watching so you don't sneak in there with a bottle of somebody elses's pee.

um...does it just.....

And, thats not a camera mounted on the front is it?
18. Marcus - January 29, 2009 1:57 PM
Perhaps an application of this technology:

When the robot armageddon comes the first robot I'm taking out is this junk stealing bastard!
20. McFeely Smackup - January 29, 2009 1:59 PM
even overlooking ALL the other issues about safety and hygiene, would you really be comfortable taking a piss with a camera 6 inches from your junk recording every second of it?
21. NekoNeko - January 29, 2009 3:31 PM
I don't want to know, but at the same time I really need to know why this was made.
22. Cameron - January 29, 2009 3:50 PM
You can just see what's going to follow this.
Pew is gonna wet himself at the prospect.
23. \m/ - January 29, 2009 3:53 PM
I'm guessing it might be to aid paraplegics in taking a wizz. Imagine you roll up in your chair, undo your pants, hoist yourself up using both arms and then piss all over yourself 'cause you don't have a hand to aim with. But no longer! Now the camera can see your need and the robo-hands assist with the aiming and shaking. Voila! Handicapable! That or it is intended to rip your junk off and slap you with it when the roboarmageddon comes.
24. Cameron - January 29, 2009 4:03 PM
Also, it's been a pretty phallic week here. Should have worn some eye protection.
25. iknowstuff - January 29, 2009 4:11 PM
@5 - Larry the Cable Guy did in Delta Force, maybe that's the movie she's talking about.
26. Phillip J. Fry - January 29, 2009 5:31 PM
@25 i was just going to say that. This is not a scene from Never Back Down, the world's greatest movie ever made, it's photoshopped from delta farce.
27. formerly SPELLINGNAZI© - January 29, 2009 5:58 PM
Yeah, that's just not sanitary...penis crushing aside...
28. Angel Mass - January 29, 2009 6:44 PM
What worries me the most is how cold that would be
29. Anita Bath - January 29, 2009 7:53 PM
@28: I'm sure it wouldn't necessarily be THAT cold. I mean, they'd probably program some robo-emotion into it, eh?
30. formerly SPELLINGNAZI© - January 30, 2009 2:11 AM
What's the other hand for?
"...don't forget to cup the balls!"
31. Milo - January 30, 2009 6:54 AM
I hope robocock washes his hands after each fondle...
32. softlicious - January 30, 2009 11:08 AM
How much money did they piss away on this thing? I mean what did thoose wang holding robo arms cost? Probably not cheaper than this:

Also, if you live anywhere near Houston, tx and need to go, don't piss that precious clean urine away by flushing! I need it for my parole officer! I need to have clean urine by tomorrow and I'm going on a blind date with this woman, is it OK to ask for a cup on the first date?
What happens if Sean Connor's dad decides to take a leak? Dooms' Day!
33. Boost - February 2, 2009 9:25 PM
Does it shake as well?
If not, what is the purpose?
34. damn this is weird - February 22, 2009 10:28 PM
i shure hear daisy allot... And she tends to say the same thing and the same movie every time. Any way, why is there two hands on this freak toilet?
35. . - April 28, 2009 9:06 PM
For once, i'm hoping daisy is right.
36. Aaron - July 20, 2009 12:29 PM
Your all being ridiculous. I don't personally know how this operates but most of it is obvious, first, the black lens on top is a sensor like on automatic flush urinals and toilets, second the lens below does not record its the eye of the machine which allows the robot to visually recognize certain, um, "things"
and last it would no doubt have some way of sanitizing its hand as std's are easily transferable and the product would have to meet these standards before it was made.
And on a similar note in a book about toilets (a very interesting read) it turns out in Quebec in some cafe there is a urinal for women, thats right a urnial that women can use to pee standing up.
