Talk about being scared shitless. Coca-Cola has gone all hardcore with the marketing of their new Georgia Max Coffee brand, redesigning a number of toilets at some of the most popular ski resorts in Japan. And really, where else could something this absurdly awesome exist?

The fully wrapped bathroom walls simulate the experience of a skier on all sides of the shit deposit. So actually, being constipated just got a little bit less sucky. Instead of staring at a blank wall for hours on end, you can at least pretend you’re out enjoying the slopes with your friends.

Everyone wants to be Bode Miller. Sadly, the only way to truly become Bode Miller is to either wear his skin as a suit like Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs or just buy an expensive pair of skis. The latter might not make you ski like Bode, but just for a second people might think you’re as rich as him.

All it takes is equipping yourself with the finest ski gear. What better place to start than Alfred Dunhill’s Winter catalog. He just so happens to collaborate with ski specialists to fashion these Bode-esque titanium base skis. They’ve got Vist bindings which offer an adjustable speed lock as well as a personalizing option in which you can have “Bode” engraved in silver on it. Forget Miller-time. It’s Bode-time.

After seeing some totally unsatisfactory uses of the Segway, I have built up a bad taste for the user base of the personal transport device (with the exception of this dude.) It’s time that a new device took the Segway from the top rungs of popularity and laziness.

This newly designed transportation device by Sarah Park mashes together the personal transport of the Segway with a “skiing” like steering mechanism. The size of the new device is about the same as a baby stroller. If you’ve ever pushed a baby stroller, you know how it’s usually not a problem even if you’re tall, so the design factor works. The dual handlebars of this new device makes the navigation similar to both pushing a stroller and skiing down a slope. (more…)
