Yes, it's true, a huge billboard of people's butts with smiley faces drawn on them will go up in Times Square next week. Why are the butts so happy? Because they use bathroom fixture manufacturer Toto's "Washlet" cleaning system - a toilet seat-like attachment. Maybe the Charmin Family Experience bathrooms in Times Square inspired Toto to go after New Yorkers.
Toto has a website, cleanishappy.com, that offers testimonials showcases various Washlet models (think warm toilet seats, warm air dryer, a cleansing wand, air purifiers and a remote control as options). Toto told WCBS 2, "We introduced this kind of lighthearted campaign to really get people to stop and think amount about something they take for granted and they may not have thought about for sometime." Not to mention that New Yorkers don't really have room for a separate bidet.
The billboard will go up between July 1 and July 9, and apparently "officials from Toto will have toilets on hand for anyone to have a seat and try out their product." Hmm. And CNET reviewed the S300 model: "The good: Bolt-on design fits most toilets; amazing number of useful settings; wireless remote. The bad: Plumbing can be a little ugly once installed; expensive."

And I though it was a Benetton advertisement...
Wireless remote? Don't people usually sit right on their toilets when they use them? If I sat on top of my TV I wouldn't need a remote control.
Conservative prudes attacking this ad for being indecent even though they live in ohio/kansas/utah and will never ever ever see it in 5...4...3...
Won't someone think of the CHILDREN???
the 1st 2 asses r nice, too bad about the tramp stamp on #2 though.
I'm no conservative prude, but I do know what "comfort" and "happiness" refer to when females describe a"pulsating" water jet aimed at their genitals, and it aint got much to do with hygiene ;)
Do you have to be a butt model to get a gig like this ?
Ah, Jen Chung, talking about smiling asses. How appropriate.
Where's the black bootie ?
This is a racist add !
"cleansing wand" uh....
#3 gets in a preemptive attack on Middle America before anyone commented. You fit in with that ad. You're an ass.
ass #4 is hot
looks asian
shake that laffy taffy
nice tramp stamp!
ok, i have to say that when i was in japan and stayed at this corporate short-stay apartment they had a toto toilet like the one described and it was awesome. i seriously missed it when i returned home in the middle of winter and my toilet seat was brick cold. seems stupid, i know. but once you've tried it you'll never want to go back to a low tech toilet again.
Poster 14, you are so right. I just got back from Japan and those washlets are great. I want one in my apartment!
I think it is a losing battle and Americans will never be swayed by the superior Japanese toilet technology unless Congress gets involved and spends billions of taxpayer dollars playing catch up in the all important loo tech field.
Dear Guest 1:51:
There is a black model all the way on the right. If you have a mac, just drag the pic onto the desktop and then double click it to open. If you don't have a mac, get one.
Ridiculous? Yes.
I want to get this so bad. Honestly speaking, when I take a shit all that stuff sticks to my ass hair and it just smudges all over the place when I use toilet paper and then you get skid marks on your underwear. This happens to everyone. Why didn't they invent this sooner? It saddens me that I had to carry around fecal matter on my ass for the first 30 years of my life while kids today will be fecal matter free thanks to the washlet.

Yeah, cuz Hill and Chuck have never attacked violent video games or endorsed gambling legislation "for the children."
Ass.

SP:
most people don't use these toilets for sexual pleasure. you feel comfort and hapiness because you feel CLEANER because instead of rubbing the doo everywhere its rinsed away.
please people don't say its stupid before you've actually TRIED IT. then you can say its stupid, it sucks... there wouldnt be any innovation if everyone thought like you guys... and no, gerting water up your buut is NOT like getting somethin else (if you see what i mean) up your buttcrack, its just water, and no guys, it wont turn you gay. i mean serisouly everytime i see people say getting water up my buttcrack is not my kinda thing... so reatarded!! and whatr do you do when you shower?? dont you aim the shower head at your a** to clean it?? you cwouldnt say thats sexual right?? then why you think it is with this toilet?? its just a toilet ok??
ALSO STOP MAKING FUN OF JAPANESE PEOPLE SAYING EVERYTHING JAPANESE PEOPLE MAKE IS STUPID AND USELESS. ITS RACIST. WHY YOU ALWAYS MAKE FUN OF ASIANS. WASHLET IS AN !WESTERN! INVENTION JAPANESE PEOPLE BOUGHT THE PATENT FROM A US COMPANY. SO YOU SHOULD MAKE FUN OF US PEOPLE FOR THINKING ABOUT SUCH IDEA.
