Good toliet paper, no poop hands.


Have you ever noticed how commercials for some product never really talk to you about water their product actually does?  While I find most car commercials terribly annoying at least they get to the point…here is our car driving around in different weather conditions.  Doesn’t it look cool?  The products I am talking about are things like beer and toilet paper.  We delicately dance around the big picture points of their product while showing us a bunch of random crap.

Let’s take toilet paper.  Why on earth are you showing me a couple of cartoon bears in the woods with rolls of your bounciest double ply product?  First, I know bears don’t use toilet paper.  Second, If a bear did need to wipe his ass he would probably use a tree and wouldn’t try and find a softer more absorbent tree.  Why can’t we get right down to the point…
                “Charmin double ply toilet paper...It will keep you from getting shit all over your hand.”
Or a beer commercial
                “Look, it’s cheap and will get you wasted.  If your friend Sara drinks three of these she might just sleep with you.”
