In true Deutsch fashion a German inventor is selling a device called
the WC Ghost that fits under the rim of a toilet and belligerently degrades any man who tries to pee standing
up. German women are buying the device, secretly installing it and when the suspect lifts the seat an angry
female voice berates the victim and demands the seat return to its down position. There must
be some applicable German word that perfectly encompasses the idea behind a device like this, in English
we might say neutering (unless men are buying it, then that's another desire altogether). The company manager says
they've sold 1.6 million devices so far and that they're looking into expanding into the UK, Canada, and
Italy.
