Games Urine for Some Fun!

Posted by Patrick Coleman on Thu, May 22 at 1:21 PM

Next time you need to relive yourself in Belgium, try to find a Place To Pee booth. It’s billed as the “Ultimate Urinating Experience!” This ingenious urinal combines the joy and relaxation of a long whiz, with the thrill and excitement of a video game!

Two side by side urinals are connected to video screens that are connected to a gaming system that offers a variety of entertainment options (including “Pee to Ski,” natch). Players control the games by aiming their flow at two sensors set inside the urinal bowl. Players can play with themselves… er… excuse me… by themselves, or they can go “head to head” (HA!) with the guy beside them.

There is a trick, of course. In order to play the game you need a full bladder and a strong stream of urine. Oh, and a penis. Apparently, attempts to include women in a Place To Pee by providing special paper funnels has been met with a resounding, “eeewwwwwwww.”

Here’s the video (yes, video) from Rueters!


“I though I had peed before, but since I used this cabinet I realize that I have never really peed before.”

Thank you, Mr. Drunken Belgian Man. Thank you.
