Creepy Promo Demonstrates Toilet's Amazing Flushing Technology

Oh. My. God. This is a real promo for "The Quattro" toilet by St. Thomas Creations, demonstrating its ability to flush carrots, chess pieces, and many more things that were not gross until now:

Ahhh! While it's understandable that they would want to demonstrate their amazing flushing technology, did they have to execute this with such slowly, lovingly-shot takes? And did they choose that music for its similarity to the music in the Tom Cruise Scientology video? It looks like this has mostly only been on plumbing and home improvement sites, but maybe it's possible that whoever directed this had a sense of humor. Actually, they had to (hot dogs??) This is viral marketing at its best.

For those who poop Plastic Chess pieces, 4 complete game sets.

And the grapes really looked fucking gross just pre-flush.

I think the city sanitation department had some angry words for this company after the making of this video.

That video could've gone on forever, and I would've watched it forever. Entrancing.

St. Thomas is so proud of the technology made in his name! And to think he was once known as the guy who might have been Jesus' twin. TRUMPED!

That wasn't 18 hot dogs. I freeze-framed and counted only 10 or so. Those toilet pimpers are LIARS.

Dear America, this is why the rest of the world gets pissed off at you sometimes.

I mean it could also be failure of financial markets causing a domino effect to other world economies and imperialistic military but flushing perfectly good food down the toilet don't help y'know?

Ah who am I kidding, I can't stay mad at you.

It cant believe it's come to this... sitting around watching a toilet flush. I actually watched it twice. OMG, I need a job.

Its a great toilet, but i think they should have the sides of it chrome, like manifolds on a hot-rod. They'd sell a sh*t-ton more. (yes, pun intended)
