Crapgadget CES finale, round 18: Tole Pure really is a crapgadget

The Tole Pure is alright, but the live demo was pretty awkward.

[Kakapants @ Feb 1st 2008 11:03AM]

It's a bidet. You know, shoots a stream of water at your junk. That's what's happening to the woman in the sign. The water comes out of the nozzle at the top of the Tole Pure placard. Used a lot at least in Japan. I know Toto is the usual toilet maker in Japan, I've never heard of Tole so I'm not sure what country this is from. What you do is just place this device over your toilet seat, I'm guessing plug it in, and you're good to go. My aunt has one and the seat is also heated. Nice........very very nice.
Japan sure has come a long way from squatting over a hole in the ground.

I'm a fan of clean butts as well, but this is strange. What exactly is that image after the text?
Looks like a lovepole with some newage condom on it.

[michas_pi @ Jan 12th 2008 6:07AM]

That's really a penis with either a bell or Sherlock Holmes' hat on it.

Also, "Tole Pure".

[Macniatic @ Jan 12th 2008 9:33AM]

Is a woman sitting. The orange object is her hair.

[Atanas Boev @ Jan 12th 2008 11:18AM]

Yes, its a woman! But what's with her arms?!

[fizzer @ Jan 15th 2008 7:49AM]

nop, it's a woman.. lol

[michas_pi @ Jan 12th 2008 6:05AM]

Here's to butt hygiene!

[Mike Morris @ Jan 12th 2008 6:23AM]

best
commentary
evar!

btw, anyone ever see mintyass dot com?

"Pucker" says; 'It Tingles!'

[Russ @ Jan 12th 2008 6:49AM]

20 FUCKING CRAPGADGET POSTS?

What the fuck went wrong with this blog? I've seen more motherfucking posts like this than I have actual gadget news during CES.

A fucking TOILET SEAT? hahah. WHAT ARE YOU, MORONS?

It's NOT FUCKING FUNNY. It was sort of a good one-off joke however many months ago you first did it and now it's fucking STUPID AND ANNOYING.

-Russ

[Thijs Haenen @ Jan 12th 2008 7:23AM]

Well actually, there's way more than 18 CES posts that aren't Crapgadget posts.
Your reality=fail ;)

[Russ @ Jan 12th 2008 7:31AM]

Actually, since whoever the moron is that handles the RSS feeds on this site can't seem to manage keeping the items from duplicating over and over again, I actually see these fucking posts quite a bit more than than that..

"=fail" Hahah. That's cute. Did you learn that on LOLCats?

Idiot.

[Ghettellectual @ Jan 12th 2008 8:05AM]

You're the biggest baby on the planet. I love the crapgadget posts. I would never post to this website to defend anything other than the Crapgadget posts. They're hilarious.

Here's. idea. You. Website. Make. Own. Nobody. Visit. Shut. Up. You. Suck. Russ.

More crapgadget for life, more keeping it real fake for life, less retards like Russ ruining life.

[Patricko @ Jan 12th 2008 9:18AM]

That thing was hilarious.

I saw it at CES and and I told at least 10 people about it while I was there.

Engadget, thanks for the pic so I can share the visual!

[Skeezle @ Jan 12th 2008 9:36AM]

that image after the text, that everyone was wondering what it was supposed to be - I've figured it out, its Russ.

[xSushi @ Jan 12th 2008 7:10AM]

I believe the image is of a womans backside (long brown hair) sitting down with a spray of water cleaning her butt.

Now only if this device waxed as well! :)

[locke6854 @ Jan 12th 2008 7:56AM]

Russ you need to chill. Theres very few things online that should warrent such a tantrum.

1) your stocks plummeted and you lost alot of money
2) your girlfriend dumps you via IM
3) the HDM format you invested in is losing

[Phil Perman @ Jan 12th 2008 7:56AM]

Now thats what I call a crap gadget

... I'll get my coat

[synf @ Jan 12th 2008 8:05AM]

the crapgadget posts are funny.. i dont care what anyone says.

[Ypoknons @ Jan 12th 2008 8:36AM]

What's actually new about this that's different from all the toilets in Japan?

And what's wrong with washing butts? Saves paper.

[kojo87 @ Jan 12th 2008 12:28PM]

yeah i always kinda thought it was weird how you really gotta scrub your hands with soap and water to get clean but just wiping your crack was good enough. i do think this is a good idea and it should be more apparent in American society. cuz right now its just some freaky poop thing the Japanese do.

[wesg @ Jan 12th 2008 8:50AM]

People need to lighten up about the Crapgadget posts. Not everything on a blog has to be serious news. Poking fun at products is a nice way to pass the time in this serious society of ours.

If you don't like the Crapgadget posts, READ SOMETHING ELSE.

[Daniel Foster @ Jan 12th 2008 9:43AM]

I see nothing wrong with that toilet seat. The U.S. needs toilets like Japan. I know a few people whose lives could be improved dramatically by a stream of hot water shot up their ass.

[John @ Jan 12th 2008 9:50AM]

best. comment. ever!

[jamma @ Jan 12th 2008 8:22PM]

I agree. Russ, go ad buy one as soon as possible

[Jason Collin @ Jan 14th 2008 9:04AM]

My apartment in Tokyo has a toilet like this called a "washlet" and I absolutely love it. It even has a heated seat. Now this is a life changing invention. I don't think I could ever go back to an "analog toilet."

[Galley @ Jan 12th 2008 10:28AM]

How about a toilet with the fire hose from "UHF" mounted in it? Stanley Spadowski: "Hey kids, who wants to have their butt cleaned with a fire hose?"

[Nathan Kwarta @ Jan 17th 2008 3:05PM]

thats a damn funny movie.

"Today we are going to learn how to make plutonium from common household items."

[Wayne @ Jan 12th 2008 10:41AM]

I love clean butts and I cannot lie
All you other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with a little bitty waist
And a clean thing in your face
You get sprung!

[Dan @ Jan 12th 2008 11:20AM]

That made my day, lol!

[GRoar1 @ Jan 13th 2008 7:04PM]

EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aboriginal @ Jan 12th 2008 2:32PM]

Nothin' like a Clean Butt Tole

[George Miles @ Jan 12th 2008 4:08PM]

but where do I get one???

[Greg Mcp @ Jan 12th 2008 7:41PM]

I just want the sticker.

[Michael S @ Jan 12th 2008 8:27PM]

This is literally a crap gadget.

[Jeremiah Johnson @ Jan 13th 2008 9:04AM]

These things are great. Not exactly cutting edge though. I've been cleansing my rear with similar products for over 10 years in Japan.

What I'd really like to see is a photo of the booth babe giving the live demonstration.

[Thunderbuck @ Jan 17th 2008 3:59PM]

...ewwwww

[Generic @ Jan 13th 2008 1:35PM]

...and the "Crapgadget of CES 2008" award goes to...

[RussAtack LvL up @ Jan 13th 2008 5:44PM]

@Everyone freaking out at RUSS:

Relax guys, how would you feel if Russ's situation happened to you?

After all, The model on the sticker is Russ's Girlfriend (Who dumped him via IM after she saw the photo). Also, Russ had invested heavily in the "Tole Pure", and this post has really beat him down... The worst part is they won't be releasing the instructional video on HD DVD, They went Blu... BluRay players will come down in price Russ, just be patient...



@Thijs Haenen: ""Your Reality=Fail"=Funny as Hail"
@Skeezle: Comedy, Love it
@Locke6854: Excellent point

@Everyone: Rumor has it that: Based on the graphic next to the text, next year they will be releasing "Pole Pure"... Get rid of that brown muck.

[Tad Stein @ Jan 14th 2008 2:00AM]

I saw this last year at a home improvements show. I mentioned that the Toto was a much better choice I made some stupid joke about their slogan 'I love clean butt'; however the guy at the booth had NO humor at all. It was really quite an uncomfortable moment...

Craptastic only as it relates to what you do on it. I have exeperienced these first hand, and while it is heated, making most people think someone just got off if it, they are pretty nice. The water stream is a heavenly experience IF it is set to the proper settings. Oh and if it is your first time using one guys, watch the red button, auto-tampon insertion, found that one out the hard way O.o

[sam @ Jan 17th 2008 10:55AM]

They must have used "English as a distant second language" ad agency along with the Mp3 sunglasses people. All your toilets are belong to us.
