Japanese Invent Portable Car Toilet

I suppose any country that could invent a "vending machine disguise" would just have to invent something like this. Tuesday at the Tokyo Auto Show, Kaneko Sangyo Co unveiled "a portable toilet for use inside a car that totally conceals the user with a curtain."

It's called the "Kurumarukun." Seeing as how I haven't gotten a demo of it (nor would I want to), I'm not sure how well this thing works. However, the "instructions" say that drivers assemble the cardboard toilet bowl, fit a water-absorbent sheet inside and draw the curtain.

Uh, huh. Well, for guys this isn't really necessary ... at least half the time. And I'm not sure I'd want to use this for the other half of the time anyway.

If you're interested in this, cross your fingers ... or maybe your legs; it won't go on sale until November 15th.
