Company markets adult diapers to casino gamblers

There's a company in Kitchener, Ontario that is selling adult diapers aimed at gamblers who frequent all-night casinos:

"The diapers hold nine cups of fluid, are made of six layers of cotton and micro-fibre, dry in an hour, are reusable and come stylishly in white or burgundy with Velcro closures."
They're being advertised on the Internet for $35 each - two for $60. A bargain for those who can't tear themselves away from the slots for a potty break.

The article also quotes a Prof. Tim Pelton, of the University of Victoria's Centres for Addiction Research. Apparently he's alarmed by this trend. I guess it "depends" on your point of view. They'd also come in handy if you played craps.

OK. I'll stop now.
