Hi-tech toilet swallows woman
By Lester Haines
A 51-year-old woman was yesterday subjected to a harrowing two-hour
ordeal when she was imprisoned in a hi-tech public
convenience.
Maureen Shotton, from Whitley Bay, was captured by the maverick
cyberloo during a shopping trip to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The toilet,
which boasts state-of-the-art electronic auto-flush and door
sensors, steadfastly refused to release Maureen, and further
resisted attempts by passers-by to force the door.
Maureen was finally liberated when the fire brigade ripped the roof
off the cantankerous crapper.
Maureen's terrifying experience confirms that it is a short step
from belligerent bogs to Terminator-style cyborgs hunting down and
exterminating mankind. ®
