Going to the bathroom is, if you’re lucky, boring. You don’t want any surprises when you pull down your pants. You just want to unload the goods and get back to the real world.

Some people don’t see bathrooms that way. These people let’s call them “marketers” view the bathroom as a source of potential fun and enlightenment for those who pass through the door. All that’s been missing so far is the fun, and they’re more than willing to provide that fun in the form of advertisements — because we all know nothing is more exciting when you have your pants down than looking at ads.
