I rarely start off swearing, but where the f*ck are we going as a world folks? The iPotty? Whichever way we are going as a world, I am now convinced we have gone too far to turn around. The iPotty is a training toilet with an iPad-dock. Yes, a training toilet with an iPad dock. You can't make this sh*t up!
It was first unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and from what I understand Apple never attends (as a vendor). See Apple? This is what f*cking happens to your products when you don't have a presence at the Consumer Elections Show! This is your fault!
But every moment should be a learning experience!
To the parents buying and the people constantly making this crap, you need to stop. What will a kid get out of using an iPad while learning to take a dump, besides wanting to use the iPad every time they go into the bathroom? Oh, and I've got some news for you... Using the restroom is easy for you, you've been doing it all your life. It's easy for you to pick up a magazine or a mobile device and read while you are doing "the biz"... However, while your kid is potty-training - they are learning something - they are learning how to take a f*cking dump without getting it everywhere! Do you really want to distract them? The last thing you need to do is let your kid be distracted, unless you want the highlight of their life to be running a blog where they get to bitch about sh*t like the iPotty.
Look at this poor kid. The oppressive weight of having to use the restroom with no digital entertainment is really taking a toll on him. Little does he know, there are parents who are spendthrifts all over the country not allowing their children to deal with the same suffering as he (if that's not a commercial for first-world problems, I'm not sure what is).
From here on out we should make a rule: You are not allowed to have any form of entertainment (magazine, book, electronic device, etc) in the restroom until you can f*cking use the restroom - from start to finish - by yourself. That includes full operation of the door (opening, closing, locking), operating the lights, cleaning up, and flush. Once you can do that, then you can bring your f*cking iPad in.
Final Analysis.
Sorry for the swearing folks, I don't know what came over me. Anyways, I can't fault the creators. Many people try to create products that fail because there is no demand in the market. I hate to wish any ills on anyone making a product, but I am hoping there is no market for the iPotty.
