Men who use the restrooms in certain Michigan bars could be in for a surprise when they hear a female voice coming from the urinal.
The state is distributing urinal cakes with sensors that play a recorded message urging bar-goers to call a cab or friend for a ride home instead of driving drunk.
The recording ends with a reminder: “Oh, and don’t forget, wash your hands.”
.
.
.
The urinal cakes cost $10,000 and were covered by federal funds. The cost is “significantly less” than paid advertising and other sorts of communication, Kindraka said.

The urinal cakes cost $10,000 and were covered by federal funds. I didn't follow the link to the story because I was afraid the story wasn't a joke. Has has everybody gone stark-raving-mad or is it just the government?

Big Media must be betting we don’t understand that “federal” funds are PUBLIC funds.

Federal Funds?
Was it the Dept. of Transportation promoting sober driving, or the Centers for Disease Control promoting the hand washing?
Or both?
To: kevcol
Ah, I see that Michigan has solved the crime problems in Detroit and has now focused on the rampant problem of men not washing their hands after relieving themselves.

I don't want urinal cakes talking to me. And I don't want them looking at me either.

Well it must be expanded... “You have too much sugar...see your doctor about a diabetes test”, or, “You have a bladder infection, please see your doctor about antibiotics”, and the big one, “You have syphilis/gonorrhea... “ Well, I think the conclusion to that one is obvious...
