I think the biggest problem is that there aren't dividers between the stalls.
The only country I've lived in where I've seen that much exposure was China - and when you and other guys have to take a dump in a TROUGH - believe me, you value your privacy.
No men I know want guys standing right next to them being able to compare Johnsons.
Men with impressively sized Johnsons don't have a problem with it.
Uh, have you even taken a pee in some places in the USA? I've taken a piss in a trough with other guys and in situations one similar to the one above. HINT: It's just a body part, and just look up....
Most theatres I've been to in the US don't have dividers. Many Jr High & Elementary school men's rooms don't have dividers.
My guess is that this sort of thing would do just fine in Las Vegas - it would be considered an added attraction in the Nascar-themed Casino, for instance.
Erm... I "go" in undivided urinals all the time, I've never noticed anyone comparing johnsons... methinks the lady doth protest too much?
"I think the biggest problem is that there aren't dividers between the stalls."
Yes, because men in America today are such dainty little flowers, their sense of privacy MUST be protected at all costs!
One wonders how men of ages past were able to urinate in front of each other without fainting from the humiliation.
I can't see his penis on that photo...
OFFENSE NOT OFFENCE!
BTW
The game pictured here is silly.
I think they should have a version of that carnival game where you SPRAY A WATER HOSE INTO THE CLOWN'S MOUTH to make the balloon pop !
Or a firefighter game...that would probably make my life complete...I'm a very sad individual
Wow, a whole new way to play with yourself in the bathroom.
Do you crash when you ran out of "fuel"?
Someone is taking the piss.
Nice one!
Sorry.. but it "almost" looks like the guy managed to plop a turd in there.. :P
i'm surprised a women's rights group hasn't gotten in on this one..
"where's OUR bathroom game, eh? just because we can't pee standing up.."
Hahahahaha
lol.. women have rights?
Women can pee standing up...
They just need to shower afterwards
I think they removed it, because people kept running out, drink 6 beers, then run back in, just to enter their name in the highscore list.
"PISS TO START" That's awesome! :)
wireless controller with force feedback and no need for batteries - somebody needs to make an accessory for Wii that will take advantage of that ;)
*resists wii joke*
I can't believe a country that has the audacity to refer to itself as "belgium" the most offensive word in the galaxy, would talk about indecency.
Uhm why is Belgium so offensive a word?
He hates waffles?
you are one hoopy frood who really knows where his towel is
LOL, good one. For those who don't know, he's talking about something from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/hitchhikers/guide/belgium.shtml).
BTW, I am actually from Belgium, but nobody is perfect right? ;)
Belgium? Isn't peeing a national pastime there? I mean, look in any tourist store! Look at the freakin' statue in the square for goodness sake!
I hope the sensors are waterproof/sediment proof.
Anyways, these games are no fair to those of us with smaller bladders... er... larger tubes.
I think any game that requires one to use their own penis as a controller, is a very bad game indeed.
But...It's the ultimate joystick!
I dunno I always thought the sex game was really fun.
Whoops.. a 360 turning!.
Is there a Ghostbusters game?
*DONT CROSS THE STREAMS* /gasp
Huh? The Belgian police have the authority to declare what is, and isn't, an "indecency offense"? I didn't know Belgium was a police state. Frankly, the "how drunk are you" concept makes a lot of sense. Of course, you could just as easily implement a "urinalyzer" to check that, couldn't you? :D
Seriously, what in the f%$#?
The police claimed it was, but that does not mean it's not up to a court to decide. They don't decide, but believe it's covered by the relevant code. However you would have to challenge it in court..
Besides that you don't seem to know much about the different legal systems of the world. The US and the UK are one of the few common law countries in the world.
The police have to make such decisions every day when something odd turns up. I just wish they would monitor *clothing* fashions just as closely.
how could two countries (the uk and the us) be one of few. haha im an ass
what about guys who have small peckers would they be at a disadvantage (like if they're not disadvantaged already). Can I have a female co-driver to shift gears
I never pee on urinals --divided or not--, I just go to the toilet, lock myself in, and sign my pissing contract there without any worries about privacy breaches.
One reason for not having dividers on Belgian urinals is that Belgium is a FKK hotspot... Even full child nudity is tolerated there, even though nearly ten years ago a Belgian town named Arlon was victim of a horrific series of high-profile child-rape-murders, and the guilty pedophile is now serving life in prison --although if it were in USA he would've been sentenced to death instead--.
And then Americans think it is strange that a lot of Europeans dislike their attitude...
I live in Belgium and, believe me, it's not that we have more child molesters (or just violence?) than you guys in America. We've had one big case yes, but how many of those big cases could America have had with all those small villages and ghettos, just without anyone knowing it.
These kinds of comments just make me really pissed (haha..) because you have no clue whatsoever what you're talking about, just as I have when I'm talking about America, but then again I hear more about your big country (with ALOT of different people, states, ...) than you have about my very small country.
And another thing, actually I have never seen an urinoir without dividers as far is I can remember.
Probably banned because they couldnt come up with devices thin enough to install on stalls for the female crowd. You know, sexual inequality and all.
Yeah. I was at the Gamepower Expo in Belgium (I'm a Belgian). I asked the responsible why it was closed. It's really lame. But you could use the game, with bottles of water... *sigh*
You can see a picture of the "place to pee" at my flickr-account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/uberhaupt/1848921366/in/set-72157602886580464/
HAHAHAAHAHAHaHAHAHAAHAHAHaHAHAHAAHAHAHaHAHAHAAHAHAHaHAHAHAAHAHAHa
Having grown up in Belgium with English as my first language, one of my pet peeves is people who don't know how to refer to things that come from the country of Belgium. Saying "Belgium police" is like saying "America police" or "Canada police." If we can remember America/American and Canada/Canadian and England/English why can't we remember Belgium/Belgian? It's Belgian chocolates and Belgian beer and Belgian police. Using the proper noun incorrectly as in this post sounds like cave man speech to people who know better...
"Grr, arg, Engadget writer dumb. Not know how talk good."
As a caveman living in urban San Fransisco, I find you comment both racist and ignorant, you insensitive clod!
Senator Larry Craig could not be reached for comment
Is this Microsoft's answer to the Wii?
I think this is a great idea as long as there aren't any sword fighting games.

I would like to see the sword fighting games :3
I like the game but the water in the bottom of the urinal is cold & sticky
hi
A 'PS2' game?
hey my cars not moving! hey my shoes are all wet!
@ Dan "well in china everyone has a small member anyways, so privacy isnt an issue"
So Dan, is that what you noticed with your Chinese boyfriends?
I think somebody should hack it and turn it into a prank.. Let them play their game.. set a timer to roughly 30-45 seconds. Make it change and put a picture of something horribly gross to make them jump or flinch. This would make them pee all over each other and start a fist fight that would end up with somebody getting tea bagged.
I love it!!!!!! we better get that in the states screw them....Im going to want to go into the mens room to watch tournaments!!!!!
come on, can't a guy just pee , this is just crazy.
Maybe this would be a hit in gay bars but I don't want to see my son and his buds getting started on this one. Next thing you know we will be playing dance dance in the stall or toss a turd. No wonder our kids are so messed up.
who really gives a crap
who really gives a crap
I'LL bet Craig has Played this Game!!
Oh well, more entertainment for us. I'd even pay a quarter to play.
My number one.. question is... Who's the neanderthal that came up with this in the first place.and second, Who's the dumber one that decided to put it in his place of business..??
The true definition of MORON has to be 'these' people and certainly the one's that even decided to ' play' it.. F'n Incredible.
Urinals in the U.S. Rarely have dividers for urinals. There are unwritten rules to going. First rule: No Talking. It's always quiet as a church in mens bathrooms. Always look ahead or up, never to the sides. It's ALWAYS bad form to check out other peoples packages. Don't drop your pants down to your ankles. Shake up/down not left to right (once had a guy shake his thing three urinals away and dribbled all over me [aargh]). There's more rules for gays, but you'll have to go underground to find those rules.
Overall the mens bathrooms in the US are decent places. I'd feel more comfortable with dividers on ALL urinals, but they're free so I can't complain.
OMG! THIS GAME LOOKS LIKE SO COOL! A RACING GAME WITH YOUR PEE! OMG! so cool!!! WHO CARES ABOUT PRIVACY, HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HOW FUN THIS GAME WOULD BE???
If it keeps nosey neighbers from checking out my package, I'm all for it.
Having no dividers in the bathroom should not be a problem for any man who is not gay and trying to stare at your dick. You guys complaining about no dividers in the bathroom apparently like looking at other guys penis' otherwise I dont think they would have anything to complain about. JWM has it right, you should be looking up, unless you like looking at other guys dicks.
When are you people going to grow up and lay off the Larry Craig "jokes"? hey aren't even funny. It's getting as old as everyone in the universe now using the term "nappy headed ho" because that ugly guy said it. Now there is a poster to pee on in a stall.. Don Imus' face.Even I would stand up to pee for the chance to hit his face on a video game!
The guy in the pic looks hot! I want to see his package. Yummy...

chill OUT DUDE, OR DUDETT, YOU ARE WAY TO : WELL, YOU FILL IT IN.
In many men's rooms in Europe, men pee against a wall. How about making that wall a one way mirror. The Pee Pal can't see out but all can see in from the outside. The Game would be called " Identify you partner. Prizes would be given by thes inch.
Sounds like little boys writing their name in the snow. Glad I don't have to mop that men's room.
after reading all your funny remarks i laughed so hard i pissed myself.....lol. maybe they just got tired of the urine smell from the guys "missing" the spot.
Sorry, E71...in Belgium (also in the UK and other parts of Europe) it IS "offence".
Yea, but I can play the game with no hands. Bonus Points!! ROFL
Its not size of ur pee pee anymore, its the size of your bladder that counts!! The biggest bladder wins!
all these people who write in saying "guys in china are small" and "guys with big johnsons don't care if there is a divider" need to check themselves because i knew all those other people pretending not to look were looking! just goes to show you how guys compare, even if they are pretending not to....or are having an "am i gay" moment....lol. sorry i just had to make a joke to go along with what everyone is saying here.
On your mark, get set, Piss off! ;0)
No, but seriously, it pisses me off that the 'church lady' mentality has sway in Europe. I thought it was only in America that some men have such delicate and ladylike sensibilities that they would need urinal dividers and label a pissing contest among men to be "indecent".
Awright, you guys--- No peeking! Ha!--- Too funny!
What no first person shooter games . The Belgium Police must have itsy bitsy teeny weeny " tools " .
The Senator freom Idaho would win this game
"peckersdown"
YOU'RE IN A BATHROOM! Unless you're going for distance, if it's indecent to use the urinal, then the PC terrorists have won! Besides, if you're playing the game, you're looking at the screen, not somebody else's junk!
After looking at someones photos of the game, I realize the reason they shut it down; it wasn't inside a bathroom, it was in the middle of the convention floor. I can see how that would be deemed indecent.
Very novel idea though.
I was at a urinal once and looked up and the graffiti said, "Why are you looking up, are you ashamed?"
after driving a nyc taxi for 10+ years i can honestly that a good piss is the highest form of pleasure you can experirnce. specailly when you
gotta go and your tied up in traffic.
a fart is like honking the horn to pass?
u guys are so worried about size, dont u no its not size its how good u use it.
As an american female, all I can say is what is it with American men's hangup on their size?
Is it comparable to the whole female dressing up to impress or validate themselves to other females?
Macho guys don't fret their size, just their technique.
As long as this game is in the bathroom and not in the middle of a Dave & Buster's who cares? Bring it to the good ole' US of A.
As an American woman, you might be more sensitive about body image issues. Also, macho is kinda an insult.
the picture is not the place to pee.
look at http://www.placetopee.be/ for the right picture.
the picture that is given is not the Place To Pee, look at http:\placetopee.com
Urinal dividers are very uncommon in southern Ontario. Upscale bathrooms just put more empty space between them. I don't think I've ever encountered a trough here, but I have in my travels to the southern US.
To bad you guys can't even put up a correct image. check http://www.placetopee.com/ for photos of the real "Place To Pee"
