Throne 2.0 - a toilet seat for the internet age

I saw a new device today at Costco.

It was a toilet seat with a remote control! So, I thought... finally, someone has determined we're so lazy or germophobic, we need to have the seat raised and lowered automatically.

I was wrong... the remote is used to control two functions - a stream of warm water intended to wash away any vestiges of unseen waste from your behind, and a dryer which is meant to get you back to the state where you can comfortably don your undergarments without getting them wet.

The toilet seat comes with its own plumbing fixture (presumably to connect a water source), and a power cord (presumably to heat the water and drive the dryer).

What will they think of next?
