Saw this in a bar once. You could see the SD card storing ads hidden in a vent. People mistook it for a camera and got the place full of police officers. Not a good move

Look if I see a screen in a bathroom I'm NOT trusting that there isn't also a camera

be a shame if people constantly smeared shit on the screen.

The computers in the restroom are literally free, you can just take them. It's a free computer with a screen!

These will be destroyed in microseconds, and rightfully so.

Toilet stalls are one of the most frequently vandalised things.

If only there was something regularly produced in toilet stalls to use for giving feedback.......

Places have been doing this for years but not with screens. Just like a bulletin board with ads. Even on your table.

Places like that, you don’t go back to unless you have to. In laws couldn’t understand why I didn’t like their favorite pizza place.

Everyone is quick to judge but no one has asked themselves if this is for the sexy ads. This could make things a lot easier.

Pretty sure I saw advertisements on screens in bathrooms in American nightclubs and bars over twenty years ago. I think they didn't have one per cubicle, though.

Oops the screen got smashed in, I wonder how that happened?

Is it still illegal to have cameras in the bathroom? Because hammers and spray paint are cheap and easily concealable.

I see this less of an issue than the overall lack of public restrooms outside of the major subway stations in Japan in general.

The vast majority of comments here are painfully unaware of Japanese societal norms and I can guarantee that these won't be vandalized with exception to maybe the most alt cultured youth areas such as Amerikamura.

Look, if the revenue goes straight into maintaining the restroom and keep it from looking like, well, a public restroom I honestly don't mind.

Something tells me that's just wishful thinking, though...

So we get to punch or spray paint the screen, right?

Fuck advertising

Ads to go along with some entertainment while I poop, right? Right?

One step closer to the ferengi ideal.

I'll take the ads but only because the next step up this escalation ladder is adding cameras and almost nobody wants that.
