| Obama Da Dog is back summarizing blog #1085, the blog her master James "Kimo" Rosen wrote titled, "To Pee Or Not To Pee, That Is The Question." http://dakinetalk.blogspot.com/2013/08/to-pee-or-not-to-pee-that-is-question.html |
Now This Is What I Call News
The most popular story for the week of August 5, 2013 was Leo Azambuja's " To pay a fee, or not, to pee,"in the Garden Island news according to their website.

I find this quite amusing with all that's going on statewide and locally with GMO's , The Christopher Deedy trial, Sears closing and so many other real news that this story gandered the most interest of any article in the paper?
The article basically told the story of the Bistro restaurant in Kilauea's Kong Lung shopping center that charges non patrons $10.00 to use the restroom and those shopping at Kong Ling center but not eating at the restaurant can pay $8.00, while customers that eat there can use it for free! The shopping center currently has septic problems and have brought in porta potties as a temporary fix, yet everyone is still up in arms.
Dakinetalk blogged about this and received many comments from, "what's next, charging for the fresh salted ocean water we breathe, to charging extra if you use the toilet paper."
The best comment about this whole scenario was,"I believe use of restroom is free if you eat there. So you could get the cheapest thing on the menu which is probably less than $10."
To pee or not to pee, that is the question on Kaua'i's north shore city of Kilauea, it's all up to you. Maybe just purchase a coffee to go, then if you have to pee, you can wee for free! Now this is what I call news!

P.S. Enclosed is another version of the above sent to the Garden Island News for possible publication as an opinion article;
To pee or not to pee, that is the question on Kaua'i's north shore city of Kilauea?
The most popular story of the week in the online edition of TGI according to their website was Leo Azambuja's, " To pay a fee, or not, to pee.
This is why,
1- Leo is an excellent writer.
2-This is what people crave to read.
3- The story makes you laugh, think, and scratch your head, it's not always about breaking news that wins our hearts.
The article told the story of the Bistro restaurant in Kilauea's Kong Lung shopping center that charges non patrons $10.00 to use the restroom and those shopping at Kong Ling center but not eating at the restaurant $8.00, while customers that eat there can use it for free!
The shopping center currently has septic problems and have brought in porta potties as a temporary fix, yet everyone is still up in arms.
The best comment on Facebook about this whole scenario was,"I believe use of the restroom is free if you eat there, therefore you could purchase the least expensive item on the menu which is most likely under $10."
Purchase a coffee to go, then if you have to wee, you can pee, for nearly free, say that ten times fast. Now that's what I call news!
