Big Brother in the bathroom

[gateley]

A British pub's clientele may going elsewhere after the establishment installed closed-circuit TV camera's in the tavern's toilets, a U.K. newspaper reported this week.

The cameras are supposed to catch drug users snorting cocaine off the top of the toilet tank, The Sun newspaper said.

But female customers at The Rose & Crown in York were horrified. "It made me feel uncomfortable," Deborah Styles was quoted as saying. "I definitely wouldn’t go back."

We knew one day that reality TV would go too far.

1. Yeah, sure they're trying to catch drug users......

F*cking perverts.

The 'end' never justifies this kind of 'means'.

Don't fall for this kind of abuse of your rights/ your right to privacy.....most of the serious criminals are the ones who are trying to steal/get you to COMPROMISE/GIVE UP some of the privacy's/rights that you have enjoyed thus far.

"It made me feel uncomfortable," Well, YEAH! DUH!

Holy hell! I'm mad and so should you be! :mad:

edit: corrected there, their, they're mistake of mine *sigh*

2. I say let the drug users snort their f*cking brains out!!!!! (if there actually ARE any in the

bathrooms I *haunt*.....actually I don't *haunt* bathrooms I quickly use them and 'go'....obviously these PERVERTS *HAUNT* THEM....what a disgusting/degenerative bunch....:mad:

I'll keep my privacy, thank you very much.

3. Solution...

take a protest dump and smear it all over the camera. If enough folks protest...

4. Well, I wouldn't like to get caught peeing on closed circuit TV,

but I guess if they had coke on the toilet tank I'd probably just try to cover the camera lens and go for it - or maybe not even that! I know how I am when it comes to a rail.

5. There's a low-tech way to prevent snorting

and it was British pub owners that came up with it. A light spray of WD-40 on hard flat surfaces was successful in thwarting coke snorters. The cocaine and WD-40 turn into a gooey mess. Maybe the users got savvy and wipe the toilet tank clean.

6. An establishment dedicated to the consumption of alcohol

That is worried about "drug users"?

Is there a smilie for "irony"?

Strange, cocaine tends to make one thirsty and offset the effects of alcohol and would probably increase the consumption of beer.

And anyway, meth is more better. :evilgrin:
