Gadget Turns German Men Into "Sitzpinkler"


A new gadget that scolds men who pee standing up is all the rage in Germany.

The WC ghost scolds men into sitting down to pee when the toilet seat is lifted. In Germany, the voice can sound like either Gerhard Schroeder or Helmut Kohl. In the UK, it planned to sound like Tony Blair or The Queen. In the US, a drawl is used.

1.8 million WC ghosts have been bought so far in Germany alone. Men who sit down to pee are considered to be a wimp, or "Sitzpinkler".
