Letter to Bi Lo

[HalloranElder]

They don't have audio ads in the toilets that I know of, but they do have mini-poster ads in the washrooms around here. Over each urinal, and on the inside of stall doors. Audio really can't be that far off.

Hate to break it to you...

Some bathrooms around here have a number of "normal" blow driers, and one "special" one. The special one has a small LCD screen and speakers. You hit the button to start the air flowing and the advertisements start on the screen.

Makes me want to puke.

As you can probably guess, I avoid using that one.

Round where I live, that drier would become an instant target for vandalism.

But you wait. Someone out there is going to read this thread and make audio ads on the crapper a reality. That whole captive-audience thing and all.

Scarrily enough, I've been to places (casinos in Vegas if my memory isn't faulty) where the mirrors over the sinks will play an ad when you start the water running to wash your hands. It's a 30 second spot, and they're set to not go off too often, so if you actually want to use the mirror, you can.

That IS genius, since the trash can is where all Mickey D's advertising belongs!

(Can you tell I HATE the Dollar Menuaires commercials?)

Wait, you're not "lovin' it"? That tag line is gawd awful. The fact that the 'I' in "i'm lovin' it" is not capitalized just makes it that much worse.

Soon we'll have doors that thank you for giving their lives meaning by using them. (cookie for the reference)

Douglas Adams?

Aw, beat me to it. Classic Hitchhikers reference, there. Damn self-satisfied doors.

[in a singsong-y medicated voice] Glad to be of service.

^-.-^

I'm with Marvin as far as those doors go. -.- That would irritate me to death.
