Photo of vibrating toilet seat inventor

This is Johnny Henry of Laurel, Mississippi who has invented a vibrating toilet seat. "“This invention is designed to stimulate,” he told the Laurel Leader Call newspaper. “It’s to make you feel good while you are there.” More interesting to me than the invention is the odd composition of the photo.

Believe it or not, this concept has gone through my thought process before. Sometimes a few shakes helps everything go a lot smoother, think shaking a condiment bottle to get all the mustard out. Okay, not great analogy.

The composition suggest shaking up more than down. A fluffer seat!

Yep, the vibrating toilet seat is the secret behind USB 3.

Vibrations are the motor oil for the universe.

So why not there ;)

But where I really want vibrations is on the bottom on my french press.

Was that a joke? I dung get it.

I ask because if it's battery-powered, there are only so many hours you can log on it.

I've been to Laurel, MS. This man's toilet seat is probably the only source of stimulation in the whole town.

Can't believe this is making the rounds. I work for the local tv station in Hattiesburg/Laurel and one of our reporters interviewed this dude today, don't ask me why, I have NO idea. Should be airing at 6pm tonight.

Looks like a standard $20 cheapo toilet seat with a Craft-matic adjustable bed controller sitting next to it.

"...with a Craft-matic..."

Maybe a Crap-matic?

Maybe a Crap-number seat? What number are you? I'm a #2.

I'm sure the Japanese had this years ago.

Sorry, I don't get it. What's odd about the composition of the photo?

It's not supossed to "vibrate" so much as "shake the crap out of you".

Here is the video of the man's interview:

People for whom the Washlet just isn't stimulating enough will enjoy this.

We had a couple of good earthquakes the other day. I don't know that a vibrating toilet seat would really sell here.
