It seems a bit misguided to me. I use six squares. If their dispenser only shells out five at a time (1) I'll have to get two portions (or ten sheets) in order to satisfactorily complete my wipe and (2) I'll boycott Kimberly-Clark products when possible.

First, robo-hand-dryers, then robo toilets and faucets, now robo-asswipe-dispensers. If their really concerned about the environment, why not create a vacuum that sucks the shit out of you instead of wasting all that TP and water?

Britain has lots of cameras on its streets and were instrumental in catching the culprits in the Doctors car bombing plot. Of course, one of the consequences of so public surveillance cameras will be that "dumping a load beside the road and walking away contented" will become much more difficult.

Frankly, I'm leery about the cameras. I like my privacy. But if I had the same problems as are brewing in Londonistan, I might be willing to give up more of personal freedoms in exchange for safety.

Who can possibly predict how many sheets someone will need? A simple pee? Sure, 5 sheets is plenty.

A skid-free poop? Again, a single wipe may do it.

But what about those sticky, smeary poops? Those poops that require a flush in between, so the paper doesn't pile up, and you're still not clean?

The article didn't mention if there's a timing mechanism. What's to stop people from just waving their hand under the sensor 3 or 4 times, even if they don't need that much?

Stupid, stupid idea.

I would not like my TP rationed. Nope, not gonna doo it.
Producing waste since 1967

Totally right, Deja!

What's next...toilets that pull your pants and underwear down for you then hydraulically drop you onto the seat? Seriously, how lazy do these companies think we're getting?

I'm going to go back to work now...right after I walk through the automatically revolving door, go up to the 2nd floor in the elevator and get that good-for-nothing janitor up here to clean my computer monitor.

No no, honey. Kitties don't sit on the potty.

I'm more concerned about the rash of incedents involving turd burglars here in the USA.

Me and the neighbor kid playing catch with a poop log.

well i have the same thought of us in USA but while I am in the navy i wish we had camera in the toilet and shower because we had the fantom shitter and there was going to be a linching because we had 2500 people mad.

Granted, this country is much more wasteful than other countries. But come on, do we really need a machine to dispense toilet paper for us?

It is getting bad when people need a machine to determine how much TP to use.

Heated toilet seats, toilet paper dispensers, auto flush toilets, what's next a gadget to scoop the poop from our butts?
