Video advertising seems contradictory to the digital signage’s originally intended purpose.

    So we get to punch or spray paint the screen, right?

    Fuck advertising

      This is in Japan. They are respectful of property.

      I don’t think that’ll happen in Japan.

    These will be destroyed in microseconds, and rightfully so.

    Toilet stalls are one of the most frequently vandalised things.

      In Japan, though? In the states, oh they’re already destroyed. But Japan?

    Saw this in a bar once. You could see the SD card storing ads hidden in a vent. People mistook it for a camera and got the place full of police officers. Not a good move

    I see this less of an issue than the overall lack of public restrooms outside of the major subway stations in Japan in general.

    The vast majority of comments here are painfully unaware of Japanese societal norms and I can guarantee that these won’t be vandalized with exception to maybe the most alt cultured youth areas such as Amerikamura.

      Yes. When I was there, I was amazed by the public toilets in Tokyo.

    Look, if the revenue goes straight into maintaining the restroom and keep it from looking like, well, a public restroom I honestly don’t mind.

    Something tells me that’s just wishful thinking, though…

      If we could get public restrooms like the ones in Japan just for watching a few ads, I’d be all for it…

    Everyone is quick to judge but no one has asked themselves if this is for the sexy ads. This could make things a lot easier.

      Most ads there are sexy ads. That’s a default.

    If only there was something regularly produced in toilet stalls to use for giving feedback…

    I’ll take the ads but only because the next step up this escalation ladder is adding cameras and almost nobody wants that.
