Play computer games at the urinals!
German company Saatchi and Saatchi GmbH have come up with a crazy idea to encourage men to get a taxi home after a night out on the drink, strangely the idea involves playing a computer game while standing at the urinals! Sounds crazy but it might just work lol. 
The idea is to get people to use the Frankfurt Taxi Service after they've had a few drinks (by the way Frankfurt is a very cool city) so the company have come up with the novel idea of putting a car racing game at the urinals, the idea is that you crash then the phone number for Frankfurt Taxi Service pops up.
On the politely names Pi**-Screen website they say "The Pi**-Screen - a pressure-sensitive inlay set within urinals, enabling users to play while they pee. We installed this newfangled creation in male restrooms across Frankfurt, teaming up with a variety of bars, clubs and cafés. The game itself was displayed on a screen above each urinal, and would automatically start as soon as someone began to pee. The player could then control the car whilst relieving himself – if they wanted the car to go right, they simply peed to the right (and visa versa)."
For more information on this take a look at the Pi**-Screen website.
