Why Didn’t I Think of This: The Elephant Urinal-Cleaning Robot!

Oh, boy. Mr. Clean is not going to be happy about this…

In yet another tragic case of age and cartoon character discrimination in the workplace, Mr. Clean has been replaced by a younger, more adorable cleaning agent in Japanese airport restrooms: the elephant urinal-cleaning robot. With a stylish yellow chapeau, no less.

Well, I think we all knew it was only a matter of time.

The elephant urinal-cleaning robot designer said:

“I imaged a powerful reversal of the urinal drain would be like an elephant and used this as the theme. Following that reversal theme, the robot’s brand name ‘DCBA’ in Japanese [pronounced 'DaSuBiEh'] is the reversal of the letters ‘ABCD.’”

Ah. Yes. Now I get it.

All I have to say is, men had better watch their nuts around that thing.
