Gerard Depard’oh!

The airplane’s aisle may not be used as a urination device:

French actor Gerard Depardieu outraged fellow passengers by urinating in the aisle of an Air France flight as it prepared to take off on Tuesday, forcing the plane to turn back to its parking spot.

A passenger on the flight said Depardieu, 62, the star of movies such as “Jean de Florette” and “Green Card,” appeared to be drunk and insisted he be allowed to use the bathroom during takeoff, when passengers must remain seated.

When he was asked by a hostess to return to his seat, Depardieu urinated in the aisle…

Baaaaad actor! Bad!

“I Did Not Realize I Was P***ing on Her Leg”

Oh, yeah, we should mention that he said that…after being taken off the airplane:

An 11-year-old girl asleep on a flight was horrified when she woke up to find a drunken man urinating on her leg, reports say.

The alleged incident occurred on a JetBlue flight between Portland and New York when a reportedly inebriated teenager stumbled out of his seat and began emptying his bladder on the sleeping child.

Associated Press reports angry scenes broke out on the flight when the girl’s father returned from the toilet and caught 18-yearo-old Robert Vietze in the act.

WILL. NOT. FLY. EVER. AGAIN. WILL NOT. EVER AGAIN. GAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

And not just anybody:

A CLOSE friend of the British prime minister has been found dead in a portable toilet at one of the country’s leading music festivals.

Christopher Shale died in unexplained circumstances in the VIP area of the Glastonbury Festival, an entertainment extravaganza that’s one of the fixtures of Britain’s music calendar.

Just rotten news for the Glastonbury Festival. Sincere condolences to the friends and family of Christopher Shale.

Man Pees In Reservoir: 8 Million Gallons Flushed

Has there ever been a more appropriate moment, considering what the guy did, and that he did it in Portland, Oregon, to say, “Dude—really?”

Call it the big flush.

Because a 21-year-old man was caught on a security camera urinating into a city reservoir, Oregon’s biggest city is sending 8 million gallons of treated drinking water down the drain.

Portland officials defended the decision Monday, saying they didn’t want to send city residents water laced, however infinitesimally, with urine.

Some people are calling it an overreaction. Ya think? There’s probably more bird and lizard urine in that reservoir than that guy put in there! But David Shaff, administrator of the city water bureau, disagreed:

Nobody wants to drink pee.

Well, he does have a point there.

“Hundreds of sacks of human excrement”

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for”…wait, that’s not right. Anyway:

Archaeologists have been discovering how Romans lived 2,000 years ago, by studying what they left behind in their sewers.

A team of experts has been sifting through hundreds of sacks of human excrement.

They call themselves “archaeologists” – but we call them “arrrrrrrrchaeologists.”

This unprecedented insight into the diet and health of ancient Romans showed that they ate a lot of vegetables.

One sample also contained a high white blood cell count, indicating, say researchers, the presence of a bacterial infection.

Like we said.

Google: 39% Read Smartphones in Bathroom

Well DUH:

The study confirms what most of us already know. The report finds that in terms of general usage, 93% of smartphone users use their phones at home; 81% browse the Internet and 77% search on their phones, 72% of smartphone users use their phones while consuming other media. One-third of smartphone owners use their phones while watching TV. And 45% of smartphone consumers use their phones to help them to manage and plan activities, such as for dinner plans, travel arrangements and finances. Google says that 39% admit to having used their smarpthone while going to the bathroom and one in five users would give up their Cable TV in order to keep using their smartphones.

First person who makes a “FartPhone joke gets a…” Oh. Wait. Too late.

Mission: In-toilet-you-go

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is as follows:

• Get on an Air Antilles flight from the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe to the island of Saint Martin.

• Shortly into the flight, pretend you feel very ill.

• Make a big show of being helped to the bathroom.

• Stay in bathroom for most of the the rest of the flight.

• Emerge from bathroom shortly before landing.

• Ask a flight attendant to have an ambulance waiting at airport.

• Once the ambulance crew has gotten you past security without having to go through the routine checks—say, “I feel better now!”

Walk away with your $238,000.

The Sega Urinal Game

As the kids say: Oh. My. God.

Four types of “Toylets” games are available to be played during a test period ending this month at four male bathrooms in pubs and game arcades, in a project aimed at drawing attention to digital adverts.

Each urinal is fitted with a pressure sensor, and a small digital display is placed at eye level. Digital adverts are shown after the games.

Games include “Graffiti Eraser” in which a user tries to aim at the pressure sensor in the urinal to erase virtual graffiti on the display.

There is even a video. Really. (And no, it does not feature an actual man peeing.)

Smart money says there will be one of these games in the BRI office bathroom by the end of the week.
