Snip!t from collection of Alan Dix

<p>I had lunch at <a href="http://www.illusionssuperclub.com/">Illusions Fayrouz Dining and Entertainment Club</a> yesterday, and when I used the men's room after the meal, I discovered a set of small, currently inactive, display units above each urinal.</p> <p><a onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=480,height=640,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false" href="http://gumption.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/eyespyadvertising1.jpg"><img title="Eyespyadvertising1" alt="Eyespyadvertising1" src="http://gumption.typepad.com/blog/images/eyespyadvertising1.jpg" style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left;" border="0" height="160" width="120"></a> </p> <p><a onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=480,height=640,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false" href="http://gumption.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/eyespyadvertising2.jpg"><img title="Eyespyadvertising2" alt="Eyespyadvertising2" src="http://gumption.typepad.com/blog/images/eyespyadvertising2.jpg" border="0" height="160" width="120"></a> </p> <p>The web site listed on the display unit, <a href="http://www.eyespyadvertising.com/">www.eyespyadvertising.com</a>, is "currently under construction" and I can't find any other information out about the company on the web. The manager of the restaurant told me that the units were working for a while a few months ago, showing 15 - 30 second videos (primarily advertisements) in a 15 minute loop, with the content being downloaded via a [wired] Internet connection.</p>
