Spontaneously combusting toilets seems like one of those "only in Japan" problems.

"The Flaming Bidets" would make a great name for a band. [/davebarry]

Already done by DCD a while ago (but still hilarious).
Huh, it's dated May 10. That must have been a different story about flaming toilets, then. What are the odds.

Huh, it's dated May 10. That must have been a different story about flaming toilets, then. What are the odds.Just recently several more japanese manufacturers of electronicly controlled bidets have come forward with horror tales of malfunctions with their units, that's why it's back in the news.
I can't imagine why there's so many problems with these items...
electrically controlled plumbing devices that splash water everywhere seem like such a good idea...:p

Honestly, why do the Japanese have to be so strange?

If someone uses one of these toilets to deliberately start a fire, is he going to be charged with arse-on?
