Violating all the Guy Bathroom Etiquette Rules

Because peeing isn't all that it could be, two MIT grads have developed a game for men to help them control their streams.


You're in Control is a game developed around the art of keeping urination where it belongs: in the urinal.

I found myself feeling a little uncomfortable with the direction of the concept and then I read the truly scary part:

The men are also working on a networked multiplayer game. "I think that would produce an interesting social phenomenon whereas now only women go to the bathroom in groups, men might start going to the bathroom in groups as well to get a new high score," Maynes-Aminzade says. "It really would be a pissing contest."
Read the ABC story. If you must.

Dude, I blogged on this a while ago. The guys have their own webite where they detail the technology. I bet it could be commercialized in bars and whatnot.

The article says that they want to license it to places like Dave and Busters. Please tell me you wouldn't want to play...

Nice idea, but it violates at least 3 out of the 10 "Guy's Rules -- Bathroom Corollaries", as far as I can see.
I don't know what I would do for important news like this without you, Zombyboy.

Somehow, I don't think that was a compliment...
