Toilet Germs!

Sunday, September 27th, 2009 | Comedy with 20 Comments


After a lot of questions and misunderstandings from some folks, I think I should clarify some things about this video: While the information in it is indeed based on a published scientific study on aerosolized particles from toilet flushes, it is presented in a style that *spoofs* the old ’50s safety films.

However, contrary to many suppositions here and elsewhere on the net, it was most definitely NOT made in 1945, nor it is even adapted from pieces of old safety films. I wrote and produced the whole thing in October of 2006, narrating it myself, and putting the sequence together from a few snapshots, product catalog shots, and animation frames I drew in paint shop and MS Paint, of all things!

So for those who thought it really was an old movie, I’m sorry if the joke was lost somewhere. I’ll take that as a compliment to the attention I gave the details.

Even so, I still hope you enjoy it. :)

    Started flushing with lid down several years ago. Have a sign to FLUSH TOILET WITH LID DOWN in guest toilet. Those who continue to not put the lid down are lectured on what is revealed in this vid & are not allowed to use the toilet after repeated continuous refusal to comply with hygenic request. The vid does not even mention the parasites on your towels, toothbrush, walls, tub, faucets, mats, floors…you get the picture.

    I like the mushroom cloud reference… very 1960′s… classic. Makes you realize how dumb people are.
