??!! / TV Today in Bears As Our Fecal Avatars

Posted by David Schmader on Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 9:18 AM

I've addressed this topic before, but....WHO IS THIS AD TARGETTING?!

Exotic dancers who dread getting butt confetti on their g-strings? People who plan on showing off their buttholes but don't have time to shower first? Vain bears?

Speaking of dirty assholes on TV, here's the stupid new Calvin Klein commercial.

The Charmin ad is targeting the models in the Calvin Klein ad.

Charmin is clearly advertising to bottom bears.

I'm not entirely sure why they don't sponsor events at The Eagle.

I refuse to buy their toilet paper out of sheer hatred of those commercials.

Strippers. It has to be, right?

I'm just waiting for the Charmin ad where the bear stands under a black light and is comically embarrassed to find glowing mini-wads of toilet paper in its crochal region.

Umm. Girl chiming in.

Cheap toilet paper falls apart when it gets wet. We all know this.

Where boys just use toilet paper on their back half, girls use it on their front half too.

You've heard cracks about upset women having sand in their vaginas. Cheap toilet paper isn't any more pleasant.

Thank you Christin! The Charmin bears are so butt-centric I didn't even consider ladies' frontal needs.

The toilet paper confetti effect is somewhat consternating when you consider that the tiny soiled pieces abrading off of the sheets as you use them are falling down inside your underwear to be carried around with you all day. I blame this on our obsession with softness in the paper over common sense. As if this price in unsanitariness weren't enough, I understand the production of ultra-soft toilet paper requires the use of new-wood fiber, as recycled just isn't soft enough. So we end up stinking in two dimensions: the hygenic and the environmental.But at least are behinds well cared for.
