1.8 million Germans have bought the WC-Geist (WC Ghost):
It is placed below the toilet seat and is activated when the seat is lifted. In no uncertain terms the user is told to lower the seat ASAP and sit down. The German version comes in two flavors; Helmut Kohl and Gerhard
Schröder.
Patentwert
will launch the WC-Geist on the British and Spanish markets this autumn. I was expecting them to use the voice of Margaret Thatcher but it looks like British ghost will come in the following flavors:
- American Cowboy (Sit down or I shoot your balls off?)
- Queen Elizabeth
- Tony Blair
The German version can be found on eBay (bid, buy now)
