Seattle is getting rid of its five automated public toilets. That stinks, if you are a prostitute or drug addict or pimp or someone who really likes stinky places.

The toilets, which look like big soda cans, open with the touch of a button and are supposed to self-clean themselves after every use. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned. Ah, such is life.

First of all, people threw so much trash on the ground that the automatic floor scrubbers were disabled. What do you get when you mix failed sanitation with crack use and prostitution? Probably the most horrible place imaginable -- Hell excluded.

But don't fret! Seattle's failure isn't deterring New York, Los Angeles and Boston from trying out various versions of the failed port-a-potty. All of this will be coming to a city near you real soon. Woohoo! [Source: The New York Times]

ATL cop: ... Yeehaw, Atlanta has three of them, but they look like electric substations. I am sure the homeless have taken them over as permanent addresses. 1 July 27, 2008
