Pimp me up before u go go

A plumbing firm has created a luxury toilet equipped with laptop computer and flat-screen TV that it plans to give away in an online sweepstake.

US company Roto-Rooter says its "Pimped Out John" is designed to "fulfill all your wildest bathroom dreams".

Special features include an iPod music player and speakers, an Xbox video game console, a refrigerator filled with drinks and snacks and a cycling exercise machine .... There's even a megaphone ,incase you run out of loo roll !

"The bathroom is the perfect place for your very own throne. It shouldn't always be regarded as the room of last resort," Roto-Rooter vice president of marketing Steven Pollyea said.

"The average person spends 11,862 hours in the bathroom, which equals one year, four months and five days in a lifetime - a toilet should be the most wonderful location in your home."

Roto-Rooter spokesman Paul Abrams said the firm spent about $US5,000 on parts and components to customise the toilet.
