At this point we have seen iPod docks fitted to just about everything under the sun, so it should come as no surprise that a company decided to develop a sink capable of playing tunes from your MP3 player. Fortunately for designer Jan Puylaert and the guys at WET, their X-Light Surround Basin should be considered as more than just a gimmick—it actually looks really cool with the transparent, light-diffusing acrylic polymer (PMMA) basin revealing the speaker system underneath. Throw some LEDs on this thing and it would be like a party in your bathroom.

I think I might get this. When I bathe my new kitten in the sink, I can slide him from one end to the other while the iPod speakers scream "AHAHAHAHAHAHAAA WIPEOUT!"
riiiight.
Because transparent acrylic polymer cleans itself and never scratches.
And is really strong in the thinness used in this picture.
Great idea until it hits the real world. Fail.
"Throw some LEDs on this thing and..."
you could sell it at Sharper Image and Skymall!
Its pretty but I bet its a nightmare to keep clean. The all the water spots would drive me crazy.
@Curves: Then I'm perfect, since I always wash my hands with scalding hot water.
@Curves: Like guest towels and fancy soap, it is just for looking at.
Wow.. they are just now getting around to this. I've had a musical toilett for years.
@Maxxofor: I don't think the butt trumpet counts.
Well, if i had money to waste I might buy it... I'd love to see how it looks after I shave my legs in it. I'm into impressing my house guests with my lack of care.
You can drive a car with your feet...that dosn't mean though, it should be done. This falls into that category.
@carmen89:
au contrair! practicing foot driving may prove to be an invaluable skill if, say, you find yourself handcuffed and in a hurry to get the fuck out of somewhere, a combination of circumstances which is probably more common than you imagine.
That said, i'm a completely proficient foot-only driver, and yes, i did it the hard way - in a five speed manual. whats that? you don't see how one could work a gearshift with only ones feet without stalling the car? well, that's your loss - when it comes time to escape from the FEMA camp, you're going to be left in my dust.
@shamoononon:
btw you've overtaken me in the ad-hoc "visually repulsive avatar" contest that goes on here.
@Kaiser-Machead:
"I always wash my hands with scalding hot water."
But the shame.. it never comes all the way off, does it? IT NEVER COMES ALL THE WAY OFF!!!
Everybody's worried about cleanliness but i think you're missing the point. IT IS A SINK WITH SPEAKERS!! WHY WOULD ANY ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND NEED/WANT AN IPOD PLAYING SINK!!
enough capslock for me!
You see humanity going the wrong way when things like these are created...
'their X-Light Surround Basin should be considered as more than just a gimmick'
No, it should be considered exactly that. Sinks don't need speakers. Sinks do need a place for me to lay down my toothbrush so its always within reach.
@nutbastard: lmao...man that made me laugh until tears...
somehow imagining it all made it So much better,hahah
