Pee in the Shower (For the Environment)

(CBS)  New TV ads are encouraging Brazilians to save water - by urinating in the shower.

Brazilian environmental group SOS Mata Atlantica says the campaign, running on several television stations, uses humor to persuade people to reduce flushes.

The group says if a household avoids one flush a day, it can save up to 4,380 liters (1,157 gallons) of water annually.

SOS spokeswoman Adriana Kfouri said Tuesday that the ad is "a way to be playful about a serious subject."

The spot features cartoon drawings of people from all walks of life - a trapeze artist, a basketball player, even an alien - urinating in the shower.

Narrated by children's voices, the ad ends with: "Pee in the shower! Save the Atlantic rainforest!"

The next logical step for the environmentalists is to require all to take "golden showers."

I pee when it showers, but it isn't as easy to do in a hard rain while holding an umbrella in the other hand.

What no comment here blaming Obama and/or GWB for people not or for peeing in the shower?

If Brazil's government wants to save the Atlantic rainforest, there's
a simple solution: Stop chopping the rainforest down!

Next they will be telling us to go back to outhouses to save water. Just dig a hole and put a shack with a seat over it.

Everyone knows (or should know) it kills athletes foot fungus.

You are correct, very astute comment. The urea acid kills the fungus.
