    In their continuing efforts to get the word out that drunk driving won't be tolerated, Nassau Country police have initiated a pilot program featuring talking urinals, WCBS 880's Sophia Hall reports.

    The Wizmark Urinal Communicator is a plastic cover that that rests just above the urinal's drain. It boasts a 3.5-inch plastic screen that displays lenticular images, digital files that have been specially prepared and then printed onto the back of a thin transparent lens material.

    According to its manufacturer, "The device automatically recognizes the presence of a 'Visitor' and after a brief delay allowing the viewer to get properly positioned, proceeds to emit a very audible pre-recorded 15 second message stating "Hey you Yea You, having a few drinks? Then listen up!

    "Think you had one to many then it's time to call a cab or call a sober friend for a ride home. It sure is safer and a hell of a lot cheaper than a DWI. Make the smart choice tonight, don't drink and drive," the message continues.

    The Wizmark, which was paid for by DWI fines, is being be distributed free to bars located Nassau County.

    This is happening in Georgia.
