Seth Rogen Testifies Before Senate About Alzheimer's Research

(Video Link)

When you think of who you want speaking at the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services hearing on Alzheimer's Research comedian Seth Rogen may not be the first name that comes to mind, but as this C-SPAN video shows Seth is the right guy for the job.

Seth breaks the ice with a signature stoner joke that has the normally stoic crowd cracking up, but when he gets into the specifics of why he's fighting for Alzheimer's funding (because his mother-in-law has early onset Alzheimer's), and how his charity organization Hilarity for Charity is working hard to fund research into the uncurable and unstoppable disease, Seth seems like the natural choice for leader of this noble cause.

The socialist utopias of Europe seem to have no problem charging for the use of their WCs. Coin operated seems a wee bit crass and very obtrusive when you really really really have to go, so no wonder it is hated in the US. They should've copied the European version, with a grumpy old woman grunting incomprehensibly whenever you get out of the WC without putting something on the "tip" plate.

There is an old song called "Babylon Mall" about our local shopping mall by a comedy troupe (it's on YouTube). One of the lines is "you pays to pee at the mall" lol. You don't pay to pee there anymore but I do remember when the pay toilets were there. I think they removed them in the early nineties.

Wonder if when they started abolishing pay toilets, they used the Beatles song "You Never Give Me Your Money" as it's theme. Likely not since it was a Paul song and not a JOHN song.

There are still some places in the US where you must pay to "go" - as Eddie says, they make you pay for a token. Last time I was in the Casino in Seaside Heights it was still the case there - still worth the money if you've had too much coconut cream pie...

New York outlawed pay toilets in '75 alright, but waived that rule for NYC in '93. Now there are plenty of em around. Not exactly a recent development, and deserving a mention.

It's a weird idea, isn't it? You pay, but less than it really costs, and get the hassle of needing to have change in a hurry. And in exchange for the .25-$1 or so, the locale risks having to clean up human waste off the walls and floor.
