It's a great idea, but that automatically opening door is going to lead to some lawsuits. Perhaps they can have an automated fist bang on the door and an angry voice say "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE, BOBBING FOR CRAPPLES!?".

Or a mechanized voice activated by the autoflush that says cool things like, "What the hell did you have for dinner last night?" or "Get your fat ass off me!"

You can be damn sure that I`ll never be found going into one of these crazy gas chambers, specially if the French have anything to do with them.

Anomalous, a play on your idea here. What about a toilet that analyzes your pee and poop and tells you if you need to add certain vitamins and minerals to your diet?

As you walk out the door it can also give friendly advice like, "Stop smoking pot," or, "You really should drink less."

The French? What the hell are you talking about?

Dave, the link said that they were a common site in Paris. The frogs don`t trust anyone elses technology, so I assumed that they had a hand in these instruments of the devil.

TD, they're also around in London and New York.
So the French have them. Who cares? They're not the ones building them in American and British cities. As for them being gas chambers, unless you mean intestinal gas, I think I know what to get you for Christmas.

A nice little tin foil hat.

How do you know yours and ours aren`t built by the frogs, could be a joint venture.

Disinfecting the room, as the link says happens, can only be by gassing, or fine spraying.

I`d advise all Americans and Brits - never enter one of these in France if you value your life.

Ok. It's one thing to say you'll never enter one in France because you hate the French, but why not use one in your own city? The folks that build them are the businesses in the area. Businesses are into making money. If they kill people in the bathrooms they build, they would be getting rid of potential customers. That equals to lost potential revenue. It wouldn't be good business practice, not to mention all the trouble they would get into because, you know, killing people is illegal these days.

So, don't worry your pretty little head off, TD. No one will gas you when you go potty. :-)

Hey FP, you don`t understand the market in Britain. We`re not allowed to just go ahead and build our own stuff for our own consumption anymore.

Everything to to with large projects (like this) has to be advertised for tender throughout the EU, with the lowest tenderer winning. Therefore, we have frogs running a lot of English water, electric and power companies. Spaniards and, yet again, frogs, run some railways.

Same with construction projects and all sorts - it has to be open to all of the EU.

These restrooms work similarly. The highest bidder gets to build it.

I can see why you loathe France, the same way a lot of Americans hate India because everything has been outsourced from here to there, putting folks here out of work.
I didn't realize Spain owned some of the railways in Britain, though. If these bathrooms had first been built in Madrid, would you refuse to use one?

Certainly not FP, the Spaniards are the kings of bathrooms in my opinion, I`ve never seen better than those I`ve used in Spain - fully functional, large and very well appointed, both in equipment and tiling.

Th scumbag French, however, have been our enemy of choice for almost 1000 years (cheese eating surrender monkeys is too nice a term to call these Gallic sheep-shaggers) - and we will never let them win!!!

By the way - surely you mean the lowest bidder - or can my company please bid?

Hell, I don't know what I mean. lol. You've done a great job of confusing me. Don't congratulate yourself, though. It's not a difficult thing to do.

If the company has to pay the city to build the toilet, then the highest bidder wins. Whoever is willing to pay the most, gets to build it, right? Is that how it works?
If it isn't, please someone explain it to me. All I know is that the city doesn't pay a cent to build the damn things, and companies fight it out to see who gets to build it.

I am sickened to see France bashing on this site. Outside of the local ignorant troll, I was under the impression that we had intelligent people here. Have you forgotten who handed us the victory, in the American Revolution? Do you remember the battle or Yorktown? Do you remember how many French gave their lives fighting the nazis? What about the famed French resistance? I swear! I am very disappointed in this thread.

Think of the incredible contributions that the French have made to poopers of all races and creeds. Where do you think the bidet came from? have you ever seen the sewers of Paris? Goddamnit! Half of the bathroom terms in our vocabulary, came from the noble French.

I am ashamed of you people. I think that you owe our French brethren an aplology.

I think you must be talking about the company bidding the highest to sponsor the shitters winning the contract to have them built, not the builder who has to do the job, which would make sense.

I withdraw our company`s bid.

Damn, thought I was on a winner there.

Sam, you`re right - the French invented the bidet (sometime in the 19th century I guess). But that was the only piece of equipment that they had in their sorry excuses for bathrooms until around 2005.

They used this bit of kit for cleaning their rings, front bottoms and faces. The rest went unwashed.

This sorry state has been as it was for as long as frogs have known and went on until late 2005, when the crook Chirac was invited to Buckingham Palace. He found wonderment - western flushing toilets, showers, wash basins and soap. None of which had been seen in France before.

He went back, copied these, and of course claimed them as French inventions. Then, after sucking the Canadian Prime Ministers cock, he got part of the franchise to produce these man eating toilets in Canada.

He`s on his way to see George Bush as we speak.

Will GB allow these shitters in the US?

Actually, when Chirac came here he was invited to the prime ministers office for some poutine and Labatts 50, tabernac! They had a good time!

P.S. It was snowing bad and the mounties loaned him some snowshoes and huskies.

Bunga - was everything still in your PM`s office once the crook had left? Or was Chirac`s bag a little bigger when he boarded his plane?

I can't speak for anyone else, but my line of think is like this. The French hate us. They don't try to hide it. Why shouldn't we be able to poke fun at them once in a while? I personally don't hate them, but if they're going to joke around about Americans (you know they do), then Americans should be able to joke around about them.
TD's dislike for the French stems from a thousand year blood feud between them and the British. Nothing anyone says is going to change that, just like nothing anyone says is going to convince you that George Bush has been a good president and has handled every situation thrown at him the best way he could.

Poke a bit of fun at someone's expense, let them poke a bit of fun at your expense and live happily.

Amen, Fart Poopie! You deserve [Great Comment!] for that. I'm with you all the way.

Around here, our women poop, and it stinks too.

the french british thing is as old as the hills. and as far as i'm concerned, TB has this one. however i am wholly unconcerned about any genocidal thoughts they have for america or england. recent history dictates that halfway through they'd most likely surrender to us. of course by recent i mean anything post dating napoleon.

IS IT because of traditional British animosity for French? Here in the US, the people I know who loathe the French, do it because of Frace not supporting us in the Iraq invasion. People who, in the past, might have made the occasional offhand comment on the French peoples' supposed smelly habits or haughtiness with the same casual attitude that jokes about any nationality are tossed about, now treat them as though they're the scum of the earth. I meanm, "Freedom Fries"?? Damn, dudes... French fries aren't even French, they're basically Belgian. Sure the French have issues, so does everyone on some level. Get a better hobby than hating.

Are you people aware that the French helped us out in Afghanistan? Choosing to opt out of the idiotic Iraq war, was the right thing to do. We should have followed their lead.

Sam, you don't get it. It's not about wars or who supported who. It's about joking around about people. They have nasty anti-American jokes. We have nasty anti-French jokes. Neither one should tell the other that they're not allowed to make them.

If you're talking about TB, then you need to remember that he's British. Did the Brits even fight in Afghanistan? I don't really know. I do know this: sitting here trying to convince a Brit to love the French, or to stop trash talking them, is such a futile effort that it's best to just not even try. All it will achieve is to get you frustrated, and not in a good way.
