SANTA FE -- New Mexico has taken its fight against drunken driving to men's restrooms around the state.
The state has ordered 500 talking urinal cakes that will deliver a recorded anti-DWI message to bar and restaurant patrons who make one last pit stop before getting behind the wheel.
The top of the devices feature the state DWI slogan -- "You drink, you drive, you lose."
Some Albuquerque bars installed the devices this week.
And the state Transportation Department plans to distribute them to Santa Fe bars and restaurants as well as establishments in Farmington, Gallup and Las Cruces.
The state spent $21 for each talking urinal cake for the pilot program but will ask bars and restaurants to pay for future orders if the idea catches on.
The cakes have enough battery power to last about three months.

I sure hope the Admin Moderator doesn't consign this thread to the "General/Chat" forum the way the previous thread was. Governor Bill Richardson is going to use stuff like this for the basis of his presidential campaign in 2008 and what government can do.

This reminds me of an old country skit where a person put a loud speaker in a pubic two hole outhouse.

I'm sorry, but this has got to be one of the stupidest ideas I have ever heard. $21 each? A talking urinal cake? Does it slur its words so the drunk understands it? Oh, puh-leaze.

Talking urinal cakes would probably do well on eBay.

"What kind of person steals a urinal cake" They're rarely stolen, most times they are simply mistaken for an after dinner mint.

No it was a speaker and they waited until a woman went into the outhouse and say things like "Lady, Could you move over, I'm working under here".
