As Seen Recently at The Boston Logan Airport
Though it’s a little hard to see in the picture, you’ll notice a sticker on the person side of a toilet paper dispenser which reads: “Toilet camera for statistical purposes only”.
- I’m sorry, what? Did I just read “toilet camera?”
Is this for real? Possibly a joke? If so, it’s a thorough one; all the other stalls were marked too (yes, I checked).
I have no idea what the legal implications are for installing a toilet camera for any purposes, but I’d bet if its at an airport, “statistics gathering” is only one reason a camera would be allowed.
What type of statics are they tracking? Toilet traffic (simply)? Average minutes per use? Length on seat vs. length buckling pants? What agency is tracking these statistics? Janitorial? Security? Marketing?
See the camera?
Just one more reason to avoid public bathrooms I guess.
It’s a joke, Josh. Home of MIT and all that. You’re talking about a minimal layout (a roll of stickers?) and maximum effect. Filmmakers wouldn’t know of that at all.
Steve Wozniak has a roll of stickers he puts on airplane toilets when he flies that warn people not to flush over cities.

So you’re saying there’s a correlation between nerds and potty humor?
If that’s the case, who are we laughing about then?
