Brazilians Instructed to Pee in the Shower

Among the many bizarre notions dear to envirokooks is the belief that water you use in the bathroom disappears forever after it goes down the drain, so that conserving water, even if you live in a swampy place like Brazil, is a matter of saving the planet.

New TV ads are encouraging Brazilians to save water — by urinating in the shower.
Brazilian environmental group SOS Mata Atlantica says the campaign, running on several television stations, uses humour to persuade people to reduce flushes.
The group says if a household avoids one flush a day, it can save up to 4,380 litres (1,157 gallons) of water annually. … Narrated by children's voices, the ad ends with: "Pee in the shower! Save the Atlantic rainforest!"

Brazilian parents have their work cut out for them, trying to potty-train the kids with this stuff on TV.

On a tip from Lyle.

A country with one of the largest 'rain' forests in the world, with one of the largest rivers in the world, having an extensive shoreline with the second largest ocean in the world, on a planet that is over three quarters water and they somehow cannot find enough water?

But hey doesn't everybody make an offering to the Aqua Goddess when they shower? ... c'mon you know you do. That should count for one or two flushes saved.

I guess they are just marking they're territoy...

The same people who are trying to force us to conserve water are the same people that are screaming that the oceans are going to rise up and flood coastal cities worldwide if we don't stop driving SUV's. So which is it? Too much water, or too little?

And speaking of 'limited' all Moonbat Marxists believe that wealth is limited too and so we should, redistribute it, control it centrally, and also control climate and population. It's the perfect excuse to control and murder all in the name of doing 'good' right, Moonbats?

Hey, didn't that kind of behavior get George Costanza banned from the gym?

Posted by: KT at August 5, 2009 10:14 AM

GEORGE: Aha. Aha. Could it be because you don't want him to know that you have a friend who pees in the shower, is that it?!

ELAINE: No, that's not it!

GEORGE: Oh, I think it is! I think that's exactly what it is!

ELAINE: Why couldn't you just wait?

GEORGE: I was there! I saw a drain!

ELAINE: Since when is a drain a toilet?!

GEORGE: It's all pipes! What's the difference?!

ELAINE: Different pipes go to different places! You're gonna mix 'em up!

GEORGE: I'll call a plumber right now! (Goes for the phone.)

JERRY: Alright, can we just drop all the pee-pipe stuff here?

Thanks for making me laugh, George!

Are they suggesting that you pee in the shower before you turn the water on? If not, then the basic premise doesn't even make sense. If the water's running the whole time that you're peeing, then you're probably going to use just as much, if not more, water than a flush would. I know I can't pee and scrub at the same time.

If they're going to make claims about how much water is saved, then they have to factor in how much water is wasted while peeing with the water running. But as I've said many times, details are not important to liberals/environmentalists. It's all about feeling good for having done something, anything, to save the poor, beleaguered planet.

Hell, if peeing in the shower can save a forest, then I've saved a couple of million acres of trees in my lifetime.

Hey kids, "Pee in bed! Save water AND the walk to the shower!"

Posted by: Mike_W at August 5, 2009 11:13 AM

Ent,

That brings up a good point. Can't pee and scrub at the same time without sprayin' the walls. So, since I'm relegated to doing these two things separately, then I have a feeling that the net water usage would remain unchanged.

Hey dipshit Moonbats, I've got a better idea, let's make our country just like Mexico and pee in the streets!

We can also wipe our ass with a pine cone instead of using precious toilet paper, your wife/girlfriend will be absolutely THRILLED about that one!

Back in the 90s we were being force fed this SAVE THE RAINFORETS crap then we found out it was a fruad now the citizens of BRAZIL are being urged to take a wee wee in their showers GREEN THE COLOR OF STUPID

Hell, I don't make a point of it, but while I'm in there, if I have to go, I do it. I know about plumbing, and yeah it all goes the same place. The shower takes care of the cleanup. Now, are they suggesting I should wait until I need to "go" before I even think about showering? Wankers.

Did they mean to use the shower as a urinal? You know, slide the door or curtain aside and have a good wiz? How will the ladies squat? Seems sexist to me.

Most shower once a day, maybe twice but they pee more than a few times a day at least, especially after coffee in the AM and a few brews in the PM. So won't the shower start to smell like Mexico? You know, stale piss?
Not everybody in Brasil has a shower or a tub! Ah I see, the sink will do!

I'm lettin out man's greatest secret now, we all pee in the shower anyway!

Maybe that funny thing in foreign bathrooms is to pee in and save water too. OOOOOOHHHHHHH, now I see, I thought was a water fountain.

Anything that filthy leftists can do to help spread disease you know...

Posted by: J at August 5, 2009 11:57 AM

The main, and maybe ONLY reason that Leftists are obsessed with raising alarms concerning "shortages" is their long-term desire to monopolize all resources and assets for themselves- whatever's left over after that goes to the masses to hopefully keep them pacified. Or maybe it's just a huge string of coincidences that each supposed "shortage crisis" requires a bureaucratic takeover by people who are specialists at devouring the very things they claim are near extinct.
This is especially idiotic trying to pull this off with water. Duuh...I guess it just goes up into space after we use it, and dies...

The "SAVE THE RAINFORETS [sic]" campaign was a fraud? Are you kidding?

Posted by: Seriously? at August 5, 2009 12:55 PM

That commercial just tinkles my fancy!

Was that Obama peeing while making a jump shot in the shower?

Posted by: LittleMissPerfect at August 5, 2009 12:58 PM

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "golden showers"!
