There has been a fair amount of coverage regarding the great green over-priced public toilets in
downtown L.A. (And there is presently a new toilet nearly built at
Santa Monica and Vermont.) And yet there has been one question not
asked (at least not publicly): what happens during the wash cycle after
someone steps out of the kiosk? Are there little trolls that come out
of the quartered floor? Is the interior bathed in nuclear radiation?
Would someone die or be hideously mutilated were they to find
themselves trapped inside when the wash cycle starts? Or are these small monstrosities pods for the Transformers, and the movie is soon to be reality?
Of course, we here at ShameTrain/The Bus Bench had to have the answer to the shitty question that normal folks most likely would not bother asking. With a pocket full of quarters and a day of nothing to do (no special day, granted, as that is most every day for us), we stood in line while a bunch of simmering, piss-filled people waited and vocally wondered why the hell everyone in line seemed weird. (We learned that if you enter the toilet and then exit before the door has automatically closed, the door will not open for twenty minutes, owing to the absence of a person to engage the "unlock" button inside. A few other people learned it, to, or so I imagine, because when we realised what we had done—upon getting the last bit of footage—
we quickly departed to let everyone stand for another 20 minutes in the noon-day sun illuminating Pershing Square.
Enjoy the teaser, and check back in later this week for the full-length video.
