Meanwhile, Up In Michigan
They’re getting ready to celebrate July Fourth with talking urinal cakes. Honestly. This from The Detroit News:
In an effort to cut down on drunken driving, the state is distributing the totally awesome named Interactive Urinal Communicators to some bars, restaurants and other drinkaterias in Wayne, Bay, Ottawa and Delta counties.
Yup, talking urinal cakes.
Four hundred of the cakes will be distributed to 200 eateries prior to July Fourth, said Anne Readette, spokeswoman for the Office of Highway Safety Planning, a division of the Michigan State Police.
“We’re doing this to draw attention to Fourth of July drunk driving enforcement,” Readette said.
“We want people to be safe and make responsible decisions.”
Actually the cakes offer a message that is short, sweet and entirely nonjudgmental: “Listen up. That’s right, I’m talking to you. Had a few drinks? Maybe a few too many?
“Then do yourself and everyone else a favor: Call a sober friend or a cab. Oh, and don’t forget to wash your hands.”
Because nothing screams Independence Day like a government-sponsored urinal cake reminding you to drink responsibly.
Wonderful.
