Interesting Weighing Machine

Used to see and hear this interesting weighing machine while passing by the main street in fountain square for the last 5 years. The machine invites (non stop) passers by to stop by and check the height and weight out and based on the BMI the machine will judge your eating habits, and provide you with funny diet advise in public. The women dont dare to check it out, as the machine advises aloud in public, and it might cause some heads to turn while overhearing the funny advises,,, like you are eating too much, you need to reduce etc...
