Today’s Video: Green (not golden) showers

Some stories speak for themselves:
New TV ads are encouraging Brazilians to save water — by urinating in the shower. Brazilian environmental group SOS Mata Atlantica says the campaign, running on several television stations, uses humor to persuade people to reduce flushes. The group says if a household avoids one flush a day, it can save up to 4,380 liters (1,157 gallons) of water annually.

SOS spokeswoman Adriana Kfouri said Tuesday that the ad is "a way to be playful about a serious subject."
So what do you think of this conservation via urination ad? Health risk or as Seinfeld’s George Costanza said "It's all pipes! What's the difference?"
