Puppy Potty Pad

We just saw a commercial for this Puppy Potty Pad... what?!?! The idea is to help your dog avoid accidents. Okay,... insert a doggie door. Lay down newspapers. Something - can you imagine the SMELL of this thing - at the end of the day you're just supposed to dump the urine and feces out - they say it like it's no big deal. Yuck. We just thought it was bizarre.

Guess it'd be a good conversation piece when entertaining or perhaps you could use it as a putting area?!?!
