New Mexico to curb drunken driving with talking urinal cakes. 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."

I searched for this and couldn't find it, I can't believe it hasn't been posted already. Now, if they could only put a device in their that could detect the level of alcohol in your urine, then perhaps some sort of appendage could restrain you at the urinal while the proper authorities are notified... ;)

I must have been pretty drunk, but I could have sworn I saw a giant pink talking urinal cake on a hillside this one time...

No, wait...

Yeah, I usually know that I shouldn't be driving around when the urinal cakes start talking.

Especially when they're like, "That dude over there is looking at your junk. You could kick his ass."

Maybe I'm out of my mind (well... no maybe there), but it just strikes me as... disturbing.
I don't know, the idea of encouraging men to pee on something with a flirty woman's voice. Or being flirted with by an humanized feminine urinal cake. Or whatever.

But the "your life is in your hands" bit... CLASSIC!
