I think saying it is a "TV" is a bit of a stretch. Basically it is a captive audience marketing tool. In sports bars yes they are usually showing sports events. But it's not like you can change the channel ( not that you'd even want to touch a remote or the screen anyway in there..maybe voice command is the only hygenic option).

Thanks buddy!

Thanks buddy!

These advertisement tv screens creep up everywhere. Any place you are stuck (subway, elevator, etc) a tv screen is stuck there to do an in your face ad.

They aren't watching Oprah

Makes no sense to me.

Bathrooms are not good environments for electronic items.

can you lend me a spare £10000.00 i need some gold.
i saw this about a few weeks ago and its pointless. only filthy rich people(billionaires) would need it. even millionaires would be hesitant from buy there unless your stupid and you need gold on the go for what ever weird reason.

also back to the touch screen monitors. when you go for a slash. the chances of you doing that hands free is rare so you will have a huge amount of bacteria on the monitor.

wifi... really! going for a dump does not take that long so you need wifi or a tv!? you would spend more time taking a dump then anything else. you would find a huge line of people wanting to go to the toilets just so that they can get wifi and watch tv.

vending machines in public toilets are the dumbest idea i have heard in a long time.

below is an example of how modern public toilets should look like.

Yes that's a popular out-of-home media for ads targeting captive audience as you pointed out. In China there were several companies doing that, sizable business, these two are listco:
Focus Media Holding Ltd.
Vision China Media - Vision in Action

Watching ads while you pee is old news, Sega upped the ante with a "game while you pee" console. The game is controlled by the power of your spray.

It's not news...I have seen quite a lot of public toilets with vending machines and wifi. Screens are even more widely found, mostly ads and local tourism promotion videos. And.....free condom machines....
