Summary: If you’ve ever thought that going to the bathroom was just too boring and needed some kind of game to make things more interesting, you might want to take a trip to Pennsylvania. The Lehigh Valley IronPigs, a minor league baseball team of the Philadelphia Phillies, recently unveiled plans to bring a pee-controlled video game system to its stadium’s urinals when the season begins this month. The idea is a first in the sports world and comes from a partnership with a local hospital system aiming to promote men’s prostate health. So how’s it work? Without getting too gross, a video monitor at eye level above the urinal detects a fan’s presence. Trivia games will have him answer true/false questions by aiming at the answers, and painting games will ask him to ‘paint’ in broad strokes, according to a press release from the team. His score will then be posted to stadium video boards and accessible online. Going to the bathroom may never be the same again.
