Here's A Gadget for You: The Pimped Out John

A bathroom oasis?

(editor's note: some of you are going to LOVE this!)

They call it a bathroom oasis. I’m not sure what to call it, but Roto-Rooter has a contest for a gadget even the most discerning gadget grabber might have trouble trying to justify the need for.

The “Pimped Out John” will allow you to do everything from checking your e-mail to watching a movie, listening to your iPod and even playing a videogame without ever leaving the bathroom.

It’s odd, yes, but unbelievable if the hours you have in a day aren’t enough to get everything done and of course you spend a significant amount of time in your bathroom.

Of the many facets it includes the “Pimped Out John” boasts:

An Avanti 4.3 cubic ft compact refrigerator with a beer tap
A Gateway eMachines Notebook
A dual-sided magnification mirror
A Microsoft Xbox 360 core system
A Philips Progressive-Scan DVD player
A TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder
A Philips 20 inch LCD Flat-Panel TV
A Personal Cooling Fan
An Apple 30 GB iPod
An iCarta Stereo Dock for iPod with bath tissue holder
A Baseline Resistive Pedal Exerciser
A Roto-Rooter Service button
And a megaphone so anyone in the house can hear you from up to 300 ft away!

It’s a lot of technology in a space many of us know doesn’t hold much unless you are one of the fortunate to have a master bath the size of most small bedrooms, but the technology included in this concept may just be worth the cost of having it installed to your toilet. Of course there’s really nothing that says it can’t be disassembled and placed elsewhere throughout your home. That would be a bonus!

I’m in – I’ll enter the contest, not because I’m bored in my bathroom, but because who could really pass up on an opportunity like this!

The sweepstakes runs until April 2 and the winner will be announced on National Plumber’s Day (of course!) April 25.

Good luck!
