Some things cannot possibly be explained. It is because of these things we have online video. And even I am not insane enough to make this up.
So... yea.
If nothing else, the German developers of the piss screen deserve credit for a creative way to bring attention to one's inebriation. The seemingly graphic crash sequences for a "loss" in the game might also provide a startling wake up call to those who might be looking to do something as reckless as driving while intoxicated. Did I mention it was creative?
I suppose in the end, if the piss screeen makes even a handful of people think better about drinking and driving, then it is well worth whatever investment Frankfurt is making to employ these devices. I want to write something deep and meaningful about the design, or the permeation of gaming in non traditional venues, or about whether or not such a game provides any sort of valid measure of sobriety... but... well... yea.
As a side, I've created a new tag for posts, known as "WTF". And ... we'll just leave it at that =)
