Agree | Disagree Subject: Urinals and hydration...not necessarily a winning ad combo  

Just what part of this ad did the Nalgene team think was a good idea?

Aside from the fact the only animals that race to the bathroom for a drink we know of are dogs, and not even our dog would slake her thirst in a urinal, we're not quite sure what Nalgene is trying to accomplish with this image. If the urinals clog up, take a wide-mouth Nalgene to prevent embarrasing spills? Or perhaps Nalgene is saying that we should bring drinks to the bathroom so we don't get dangerously dehydrated whilst peeing? Aside from all the speculation, allow us to point out one glaring faux-pas -- two guys actually looking at each other in a men's room. Man Rule #1: Never, ever, engage in direct eye contact while at the urinal. Always -- and there are no allowable exceptions -- keep eyes firmly fixated on the tile directly in front of the urinal while going about your business.

Agree | Disagree Subject: The rules....  

First of all everyone knows rule #1 is to go to the urinal the furthest away. Rule #2 is never put your briefcase close enough to get splash back. (just saw that baby urinal on the left) what's that all about????

Now we all know that we only rent beer, right?
