A conversation at my work led me to find this page. I can't read the whole thing, but there is some pretty good Japanese funny here.

^I have. Although never in a crazy advanced toilet.
The squat toilets are cool . . . although the only place I used one was on the train from Tokyo to Kyoto, which was super fucking awkward thanks to the movement of the 320km/h train.
Also, unlike us westerners, the Japanese seem to see using the bathroom as something you do very quickly, then leave. Reading in the bathroom is considered very strange and bad form. I got several "talkings to" for doing it.

Washlet Syndrome
The repetitive use of a Washlet type water jet on a high-pressure setting for an enema, can weaken the capability for self-evacuation of the Washlet user, which can lead to more serious constipation. [38] If a Washlet high-pressure water jet is used on the anus repeatedly, it may cause excessive cleanliness, prompting other bacteria to adhere around the anus, causing skin disease (inflammation) around the anus. Some proctologists in Japan have named this "Washlet Syndrome (ウォシュレット症候群 woshuretto shoukougun?)" or "Warm-water toilet seat Syndrome (温水便座症候群 on-sui ben-za shoukougun?) [39][40]

Browsing the net on the can is also enjoyable.

I dont distract myself while performing important chores like morning shit. Work like this needs my undiluted attention and dedication. No books or mags in the toilet for me.

That toilet is a dingleberry's worst nightmare.
But really, bidets in general aren't that spectacular. What's wrong with whiping? Even if you are on a bidet, you still need to wipe.
