MIT Urinal Video Game Tests Those Too Pissed to Drive

Massachusetts Institute of Technology has contributed another major scientific breakthrough to humanity. Researchers have designed a urinal video game to encourage male bar patrons that have had a few too many to call a cab.

The game, called The Piss-Screen (tagline: “not to be mistaken for the Wii”), simulates a high-speed car chase that ends with a car crash if players don’t have the reflexes to, ahem, drive properly. The end message: “Too pissed to drive? Take a taxi instead.”

The game plays like Need For Speed meets Hit the Cheerio. The Designers of this game with a wicked sense of humor are Hayes Raffle and Dan Maynes-Aminzade of the Tangible Media Group at MIT’s Media Lab. The game has been undergoing testing in bars, clubs and cafes around Frankfurt, Germany. Apparently The Piss-Screen won’t be welcome in Belgium. Police banned the game in the GamePower Expo in Gent for being indecent.
