Idiocy for charity

It seems to me that there's another 'coals to Newcastle' triumph for the commercial sector ongoing at the moment. It might not be their best (I'll reserve that for the absurdity of getting people to buy water in bottles), but the fact that hands-free soap dispensers appear to be a success amazes me.

Is this simply a triumph of advertising, or is it, more likely, a clear demonstration that people just don't think?

Tell me if I'm wrong, but the soap dispenser could be covered in shite for all the difference it makes - you're washing your hands AFTER touching the blimmin thing.

Heads out of arses please, just buy a bar of soap, don't line the pockets of these bastards.
