There are six very friendly people on this web page who want to tell you all about the "washlet," a toilet seat apparatus that incorporates a "bunch of nifty technology," including a "small wand" and a remote control unit with a "rear cleansing" button. Peter Suderman of The American Scene recommends consulting the Asian woman fourth from the left, who discusses the concept of "happiness" and reads some fan mail. I recommend it too. I'm just not totally sure why... Actually, these people are all kind of freaking me out...

Posted by: Alix at September 10, 2007 11:44 PMAn even better recommendation from an American Scene commenter:
"You can play the close encounters theme by rolling over the creepy people: asian, baby boomer, douchebag, pixie, milf."
By God, he's right.
