I have gone on record as being for Japanese toilets in general, and their washlet function -- a small water sprayer that cleans your butt far more effectively than toilet paper ever could -- in specific. I understand many folks think the idea of getting anally power-washed is weird, but I'd suggest trying to clean your asshole with dry paper is far weirder (think about it -- if your pet shits on the floor, do you try and clean it up with nothing but paper towels? Of course not). I wish they'd catch on here.
I bring this up because the Japanese TV show Toribia no Izumi performed an experiment recently... and that being what would happen to a person if a normal toilet washlet was replaced with a fucking fire hose. They got a toilet, a local fire department and a mannequin of a young boy, put it all together, and this is the result:
I'm not going to lie; I think I could watch that dummy get shot off the toilet forever. And no, I have no fucking clue what the dude in the creepy moose-man outfit is supposed to be. (Via Japan Probe)

On your side note of Bidets: I just outfitted my entire home with inexpensive bidets I bought off Amazon.com.
68$
I don't recommend buying the used ones...Yeech.
Here are a few things I've noticed:
A) My ass doesn't hurt from wiping anymore
B) Guests who use the system love it
C) Toilet paper use has gone down 80%. You still have to dry yourself.
D) (And this is important) No more double/triple flushing and no more clogged toilets.
Even with all these benefits, the average American will still look at you with an expression like "are you a fag?" when you discuss the technology.

"My ass doesn't hurt from wiping anymore." You are SO doing it wrong. Perhaps it's your diet.

Isn't this the same show that used to come on after MXC? "Hey! Spring of Trivia" or something like that?

The antler guy is the mascot of the city of Nara, and it's ugly as fuck.

Kaeli replied to Victor Delacroix:
Of all the things I'd expect to find on a website located at japanprobe.com, this is pretty far down on the list.
Scortia replied to Victor Delacroix:
How lazy. A Buddhist monk (or a Buddha) and antlers since Nara is known for their deer. Wonder how much money they put into that brilliant mascot design.

OK, after replaying the shot 7 times, they finally got around to throwing "Replay" up on the screen, and showed it two more times. Argh.

Here in Brazil thats quite common, at least in my state. There used to be this old fashioned, separated device (picture it like the, uh, toilet's wife), that's just like a fountain, and you sit on it after using the toilet. It actually requires standing briefly and moving sideways to sit your ass on it, like an old ford assembling line. These were replaced by some kind of garden hose that you have to blindly aim at your ass. Not as hard as it sounds, really.
Wipping my ass with paper only makes me feel dirty and insecure just after. The people who say it's gay are just insecure homofobes, that's a healthy, harmless practice, not a pre-anal sex automated softcore enema.

hahahahaha! I'd never thought of describing it like that!!! It sounds riduculously funny! (I'm Brazilian too, and I think bidets are still standard bathroom appliances all around here...)

How do you say "Mythbusters" in Japanese?
Bingo said:
Ha ha ha! This is stupid but I enjoyed it a lot.
demoncat said:
i was going to say that seems to be what the japaness version of myth busters looks like. though the myth busters would use explosives to see what happens. and at least they now know to make sure their toilets are hooked up right.

Two things:
1. Isn't that Takeshi Kitano pressing the button?
2. Considering some of the far more insane shit I've seen from Japanese TV over the past three decades, I find it very hard to believe they couldn't find some living guy to ride the geyser instead of a dummy. I feel cheated.

I imagine this is what a Japanese version of Mythbusters might look like.

dude in the slo-mo replay you can see the huge ass dent that the fire hose put in the kids ass!
.... only in regards to something Japanese could i ever find the need to use that sentence ...

This reminds me a of a crappy show we get here in the UK called Braniac:Science Abuse. It's kinda like Mythbusters but with all the intelligent shit sucked out of it and you're left with stuff like: "What would happen if a Bidet were to be replaced with a Firehose?"
