Jezebel: Toilets

Who Needs the Family Bed When You Have the Family Toilet?

Tracy Moore — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:45:00 EST

Recently I was sitting on the toilet peeing while my nearly 2-year old daughter was sitting in my lap playing with her stuffed koala bear, and I thought to myself, how did we get here? It could be worse, I suppose — we could be doing this as a performance art piece at a pop-up gallery in downtown L.A. More »

Leaving The Toilet Open Causes Everyone Else To Get The Vomits

Erin Gloria Ryan — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:00:00 EST

You probably already knew that when you flush the toilet with the lid open, a great big cloud of bacteria shoots up into the air like a mushroom cloud of poo germs. But did you know that if you leave the lid open even when the toilet is just hanging out and not being shat in, you're exposing all nearby surfaces to a veritable cloud of toilet bacteria that might be causing other people to catch a disease? A disease that makes them throw up? More »

Yesterday's Oprah was all about people with extreme obsessive compulsive disorder. She shipped a group of them off to a camp with Dr. Oz and an OCD specialist, both of whom were given the difficult task of helping one man overcome his fear of sitting on a toilet seat — any toilet seat. The guy can't even crap on the toilet at his own home, so he's been pooping outside for years. At camp, his therapy required him to touch a toilet seat and then lick his fingers. Honestly, I don't even want to ever have to do that, and I don't even have OCD. It worked for him, however! He's been crapping on the can in his own home since he left Oprah's camp. Clip above.

The kids on The Paper went on deadline for the first issue of the school year and under the new regime of Amanda as "In Chief." It seemed to be a mess. Amanda got too caught up writing her own editorial (which she edited while on the can) to actually run the operation, nobody knew how to make a PDF file, and they had to slash four pages of the issue at the last minute. Meanwhile, Adam, the hot ad sales manager, peaced so that he could go see High School Musical on ice. Clip above. More »
