Whizz Kids!

Water hits my neck/And I'm pissin' on myself/Standing . . . in the shower . . . thinkin' . . .

A Brazilian environmental group is promoting a public service advertisement (see above) using children as narrators, urging its residents to save the rainforests by whizzing in the shower.

The group says that if a single household flushed the toilet just one fewer times a day, it would save a whopping 1,157 gallons of water each year. The organization has even come out with a video touting the idea. Urine is sterile, so peeing in the shower is harmless (except if someone has a disease that can be transmitted through their pee, such as hepatitis).

Has anyone got the stats on hepatitis in brazil?

Note to self: do not frequent Brazilian health clubs.

But the video is cute, especially the Psycho shower scene. I turn around and see someone getting into the shower with me holding aloft a knife, there's gonna be more than Number 1 shootin' out, thass right . . .
