But how do they taste?

[DouglasKC]

The cakes have enough battery power to last about three months.

Yeah, but who will ever CHANGE the batteries?

[Eclectica]

This is sexist!

Besides, who can read that print when drunk?

[PJ-Comix]

Inevitably they will come out with joke urinal cakes. Imagine using a urinal and suddenly a voice from a joke urinal cake says, "I hate to tell you but size DOES matter!"

[PJ-Comix]

A talking urinal cake would make me VERY nervous. I hate it when some stranger talks to me from the next urinal over. I'm a gregarious guy but I do draw the line at conversing with strangers in the urinal.

[Defiant]

All I can say is, it better have a woman's voice. And she better sound hot, not like a nag. Otherwise, there's going to be trouble in that urinal.

It would be nice if they could give you restaurant tips and driving directions as well.

Thanks, BTTT, and here's an excerpt and a link of interest:

Aztec, NM, artist leads statewide effort to paint portraits of people killed in DWI accidents

AZTEC, NM — When Nikki Smith arrived home from Santa Fe last November, the 10 p.m. newscast gave her a jolt.


Smith immediately realized she avoided driving through the exact spot where a drunken driver killed five members of a Las Vegas, N.M., family by just 40 minutes.


The senseless deaths on Interstate 25 in northern New Mexico both appalled and scared her. Memories of her own experiences soon returned.


Smith's daughter was involved years earlier in an automobile accident where alcohol was not involved. However, she said her daughter almost lost her life in the crash, adding the event dramatically affected the family.


"Our lives have never ever gotten back to normal," said Smith, an Aztec painter whose past work was commissioned by President Ford and President Reagan.


After the Las Vegas, NM, family accident, Smith decided she wanted to draw attention to the tragedies connected to drinking and driving. She considered options and chose to paint portraits of each person killed every year in alcohol-related crashes in New Mexico.


Her idea, designed to gradually expand to other states, grew overwhelmingly overnight.


"It's just been phenomenal," Smith said. "I can't keep up with it and it's only been a month."

This witch hunt is now going beyond ridiculous.

[Cheburashka]

If I still were drinking just the idea that a urinal cake was talking to me would make me swear off drinking forever. It wouldn't matter what it was saying.

[Army Air Corps]

I wonder if it will also say things such as "Damn, cut back on the asparagus!"

[fzx12345]

I would imagine that if a urinal cake talks to you, you already know you've had enough.

[mikrofon]

How would you like to be "in position" when a laughing urinal cake goes off?

[martin_fierro]

New Mexico is taking its fight against drunken driving to men's restrooms around the state.

[CheyennePress]

Will they be installing them behind the bushes and along the fence out back, as well? ;)

[Theresawithanh]

I would have thought the slogan on the cakes would be "Urine New Mexico. Don't drink and drive!"

I've driven through NM just twice, about 20 years ago, and I'm pretty sure I was the only one to have used most of those restrooms in years.
