TV in My Bathtub? Yes, Please

After much debate on where it's cool to have additional televisions in your house (I'm against in the bedroom, but for the dining room, for the record), I have another curious TV location for you to try on for size: the bathtub.

The Cosmo Hydromassage TV Bathtub is a spectacular two-in-one, combining a 17-inch LCD flat screen TV with a whirlpool tub. It fits two people, so woohoo to that! Despite the cost — about $4,580 — this is something you'd need to splurge on, due to the sensitive electronic nature. Please don't go DIYin' this.

High-Tech Luxury Bathroom: Love or Leave?

Would you love to have a bathroom that is decked out with all the latest gadgets? Imagine having a bathtub like this one I spotted on Bornrich. The Splash is a 17-inch wide screen, water-resistant LCD TV that comes with a 176-degrees horizontal and vertical viewing angle and an iPod docking station. As much as I'd love to say that it'd be great to watch television while taking a bath, I prefer complete serenity— zero technology and noise. Now the iPod dock is a different story, because rocking out while getting ready is always fun. What do you think? Is it over-the-top to have technology in the bathroom?

Bathroom gadgets are so much fun, especially when you can take them in the shower! Here's another waterproof device that is sure to be a hit with gadget gurus. Featured on 7 Gadgets, this 8-Inch LCD Screen by Sharp comes with 640x480 resolution, an audio/video input for any kind of media source, and a waterproof remote. I can totally picture myself using it to watch all my favorite TV shows and movies while taking a bath. These LCD screens are priced around $240.

"Interactive" Bathroom Experience To Prevent DUIs

MTV cribs and TV manufacturers want us to think our lives are incomplete without TVs in our showers or TVs built into our bathroom mirrors, but a group of designers hope to market an interactive bathroom screen that will prevent you from having a Lindsay Lohan moment. Aside from its vile name, the Piss Screen is pretty innovative. It's actually a game that was made to encourage people to take a taxi home with Frankfurt Taxi Services after having a few drinks, rather than get behind the wheel of their own car. No word on a female-friendly version, but frankly I don't know many women who would be interested.

How does it work? A pressure-sensitive inlay is set within urinals, enabling users to play a game while they, ummm potty. The game itself was displayed on a screen above each urinal, and automatically starts. The player can then control the car whilst relieving himself – if they want the car to go right, they simply peed to the right. It was modeled after "Need for Speed," requiring relatively quick reactions, but clearly, the drunker you are, the slower your response, reinforcing the effects of alcohol to the gamer. The game ultimately culminates in a shocking crash-sequence reminding you what might happen if you drive drunk. To check out the video of how the game works, visit The Piss Screen.
