I like the Japanese style toilet but the timing of this article seems particularly like sponsored content. Does NY times have a policy of disclosure?

- Filligree 11y agoIf it's an ad, it's a good one. Bidets are just better, and I wish people would take them seriously.
- radley 11y agoNo, there's really a cult following. The moment I buy my own place I'll be installing one of these. There's nothing better. It's difficult to install a separate bidet - need a bathroom with lots of extra space, then run new plumbing... Even then, you're using two stations when one will suffice.

- proksoup 11y agoJust to re-iterate the value of your insightful comment, it seems likely the "sponsorship" is a combination of lazy journalism and talented PR firms. A.K.A. How media works.
- umutisik 11y agoOh my god! He can recognize them! :) I hope this is not a PR piece. But if it is, then it works really well because the first thing I did after reading was to look up the prices of the Toto washlets one more time.
