Huh. A westernised bidet. Want a warm toilet seat? Wait 'till the SO's finished in there, and yay! Warm! The spray thing? Aside from being a little creepy - the sprays on bidets don't move like that, and, well, come on. You know, deep deep down that one day when the machines take over, that little plastic thingy's going to really hit ya where the sun rarely shines.
Even if the machines don't take over although they will, think of the revenge factor here! Forgot a birthday? Didn't dry the dishes? 2:30 am and you've staggered to the can half-asleep to pee because you had one too many glasses of water before bed and WHAMMO freezing cold water in the out door. No thanks.
Also, don't those pod-people/talking heads seem a little too happy about never having to touch yourself *down there* ever again?
The "technology" guy in particular is far too blown away by the concept of spray washing his anus.
What worries me about the thing is that if it really does retract and "sanitize" the nozzle then it may require some kind of refillable reservoir of sanitizing solution. God knows you can't just water-rinse something you've shat all over and call it "clean."
"Hi - I'm a washlet lady, you can ask me questions about the basics or happiness, ask me. If you've got more technical questions - please ask one of the men."
I really initially thought it was these Talking Heads in some new reunion/performance art piece. How disappointing. I'll admit I was mildly and perversely curious to see their asses too.
