Sir, would you please not pee in the pool?

In the name of all that is holy, why would you want to be jostling around in any liquid with this many people in it? Seriously? If I had to swim around in urine, I’d rather that urine be my own thanks.
I know this would only happen in Japan, but don’t they have some sort of fire code also? Me thinks that whole pool is inside a building, and from the looks of it, I have no idea how that many people could ever exit in an emergency.
Makes me very thankful I can pee-pee and poop-poop in so many open spaces here in America.

Holy shit! That’s gotta be dangerous. If someone was drowning who would know? And I thought that the Japanese were pretty smart people……
OMFG -That has to be the nastiest thing I’ve seen in a loooooonnnngg time! Sheez… I could almost smell it.
April: That’s what I’m sayin! I wonder how many dead bodies they have to get out of the pool when everyone leaves at the end of the day.
tj:Yeah, I imagine the odor is a great mix of urine, chlorine, and suntan lotion.
Crap. I had to come back and watch it again. Did the notion “Max Capacity” just completely fly over these people’s heads or what?!!! LMAO
tj: It almost makes you sea-sick doesn’t it?
WTF? This sea of humanity is disgusting!
Pop me an e-mail as some where I actually have pictures and a link. It is in Japan and the roof retracts, quite an engineering feat although crowd control needs some work :-)
One can only hope that it was a publicity stunt, but knowing how crowded Tokyo is, probably not.
I remember reading an article last year about chlorine smell…. I guess if the odor is strong, it usually means the pool is overwhelmed with nastiness (urine and, yes, feces) and the chlorine is oxidizing in the air. A clean, well chlorinated pool doesn’t give off much odor. Just something to remember if you don’t like swimming in piss.
Eddie: I know I wouldn’t want my junk marinating in that mess.
Jeremy: I’ll send you a note…
Hammer: I wish it was a publicity stunt. At least that way I could understand the rationale behind it better.
Robguy: THAT’S why public pools always smell so damn chemically!
