It had to happen. We're not sure why, but it did. Ever since we saw that meme with the bulls-eye drawn in the bottom of a urinal, urinal games have been inevitable. It's so simple, it's kind of amazing no one came up with it before -- maybe they did, and just didn't get enough press. But the Exhibit bar in south London has finally turned urination into a pastime.
To be honest, when we asked SodaHeads what they thought about the idea, we kind of expected it to make a splash. Boy, were we wrong. Read on for the details.

London Bar Installs Urinal Video Games: Great or Gross?
57% Think Urinal Games Are Gross
Oh, come on. Really? Most people aren't down for some good 'ol urine-based fun? It wasn't a wide margin, but voters were adamant enough to send bathroom games to a sticky, urea-encrusted grave. To be fair, many respondents had a good reason for their "gross" vote. One wrote, "This might lead to the kind of waiting lines the Ladies Loo usually has... Like we need more time-wasters in the world these days." But this result clearly calls for some dissection -- a gender breakdown is pretty much mandatory. Let's take a peek.
Even Men Turn Their Noses
No surprise, women were more disgusted. But we were a little surprised to find that men were largely against it, as well. However, the gender issue brought up an important point: Where are the video games for women's bathrooms? We're a little stumped as to how that would work, but still...

Combine video games with erratic aiming, and it's only a matter of time before your kid brings the idea home and tries to play his Nintendo 3DS while standing at the john, trying to emulate that game he played at Chuck E. Cheese's. Parents know this intuitively, and they'd rather not mop it up at home.

There weren't many demographics in support of urinal games, but nearly two-thirds of atheists thought it was a great idea. What does this say about religion? Not much. As far as we know, urinal games were not around when the Bible was written, so we'll just have to speculate.

For those mentioning germs on the game, you control it with your pee.
What's up with that?
I'd rather it just be a TV with Family Guy or Simpsons on it, that would be cool.
