So we get to punch or spray paint the screen, right?
Fuck advertising
One step closer to the ferengi ideal.
I see this less of an issue than the overall lack of public restrooms outside of the major subway stations in Japan in general.
The vast majority of comments here are painfully unaware of Japanese societal norms and I can guarantee that these won’t be vandalized with exception to maybe the most alt cultured youth areas such as Amerikamura.
Yes. When I was there, I was amazed by the public toilets in Tokyo.
Is it still illegal to have cameras in the bathroom? Because hammers and spray paint are cheap and easily concealable.
And there is a market for cheap monitors.
The paper is already there, the glue will arrive soon…
It’s a bathroom, you can produce your own glue.
That’s the one I meant.
be a shame if people constantly smeared shit on the screen.
I don’t think that’ll happen in Japan.
Nobody from there for sure. Peak tourism season though?😬
Just hang some toilet paper over it
is there TP in Japan?
…yes?
You have never seen Japanese porn in this case…
Look if I see a screen in a bathroom I’m NOT trusting that there isn’t also a camera
And if there’s not a camera, that screen was broke when I got here.
If there’s a camera in the bathroom then you definitely have a home run lawsuit, at least in America.
But we’re talking about Japan…
Saw this in a bar once. You could see the SD card storing ads hidden in a vent. People mistook it for a camera and got the place full of police officers. Not a good move
These will be destroyed in microseconds, and rightfully so.
Toilet stalls are one of the most frequently vandalised things.
In Japan, though? In the states, oh they’re already destroyed. But Japan?
Do you think crime, hooliganism, or protesting doesn’t exist in Japan?
Their public toilets are immaculate. They have a strong sense of public responsibility.
Japan is a paradise, don’t you watch anime?

Diffefent from which one? Do you think that there are only two cultures in the world? 🙃 I don’t use google, and don’t know how relevanf graffiti is to discussion about displays in toilets.

Re-read three times until you find two countries in the thread.
You see their username, right? The most weaboo of weaboo shit? Of course they have completely misguided opinions on their anime paradise.
I’m fairly often in Japan for work. They won’t touch those screens.
The computers in the restroom are literally free, you can just take them. It’s a free computer with a screen!
Too good to be true 🤩
Yes, put screens in a restroom where I can put a knife through them while shitting and nobody is gonna know.
I’ve been finding more restaurants restrooms have TV screens but usually they are playing cartoons or somehow Nick At Nite reruns which I had no idea still existed.
For sports bars with event nights it is kind if useful, so you don’t feel like you’ve missed the entertainment. I’ve only seen TVs like that on the waiting area of a casino bathroom once though.
returns to the table after an hour
“Sorry, hat to finish some episodes”
It was like that when I got here. Also that crunching noise you heard and sparks you saw were a typical poop for me.
If only there was something regularly produced in toilet stalls to use for giving feedback…
Everyone is quick to judge but no one has asked themselves if this is for the sexy ads. This could make things a lot easier.
Most ads there are sexy ads. That’s a default.
Look, if the revenue goes straight into maintaining the restroom and keep it from looking like, well, a public restroom I honestly don’t mind.
Something tells me that’s just wishful thinking, though…
If we could get public restrooms like the ones in Japan just for watching a few ads, I’d be all for it…
Places have been doing this for years but not with screens. Just like a bulletin board with ads. Even on your table.
Places like that, you don’t go back to unless you have to. In laws couldn’t understand why I didn’t like their favorite pizza place.
Before that people used to write phone numbers on the stall walls advertising things.
How I met my wife.
The difference is most ad systems with screens also have a camera built in to the hardware, because they’re just repackaged tablets.
If I want faceless companies to watch me shit I’d buy meta glasses, but I really really do not want that.
I don’t think the videos would turn out. They’d be overexposed.
and now it’ll be pile of e waste in a few years. that’s progress.
