Caption #1: That’s not the only thing I have in my hand, sweetheart.
Caption #2: Is this intended to combat drunk driving or to let men in New Mexico know they can’t even go to the men’s room without a woman telling them what to do?
New Mexico is taking 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.
When a man steps up, the motion-sensitive plastic device says, in a woman’s voice that is flirty, then stern:
“Hey, big guy. Having a few drinks?Think you had one too many?
Then it’s time to call a cab or call a sober friend for a ride home.
Remember, your future is in your hand.”
Transportation Department spokesman S.U. Mahesh said the urinal cakes are a way to reach one group that’s a target of state safety campaigns. Men commit about three times as many drunken-driving infractions as women. More >>
