In case you have bladder problems and the toilet has become an indispensable friend, you sure need to get one of the latest models coming straight from the future. Looks like the Japanese have been visited by some crazy time travelers that brought with them a remote controlled toilet seat.

The Japanese have had built-in bidets for quite a few decades now, but how many people expressed their need for a remote controlled toilet? Are these guys getting more and more spoiled, or this is just the way things get down in Japan?

The latest in wacky toilet designs is called Blooming Bidet. It comes with a handy remote to activate all the functions, even adjust the intensity of water spray or hot air aimed at your posterior. Notice the big STOP button? That is specifically placed on the remote so you can terminate any process in case things get out of hand. The images provided don’t really allow you to see this, but there is no flush button; flushing happens automatically as the toilet uses a proximity sensor that triggers when you step away from the bowl, having done all the usual.

Other features include a gentle LED underwater nightlight, a pressure sensor that keeps you from accidentally spraying your eye, plus built-in controls at your right thigh in case your remote's battery die in the worst possible moments. The most interesting thing included with the R/C toilet is some sort of analyzer that checks your urine and dumps for signs of sickness.
