Changing Toilet Paper

We just saw this TV commercial for Cottonelle.

My wife announced she will no longer buy Cottonelle because of this advertisement.

Be sure to let them know why. It does no good otherwise.

 

[CPT Nervous]

It's really not a big deal to me. Is it virtue signaling? Maybe. But it's nothing like the Gillete commercial which demonized men and masculinity.

I don't see anything inherently wrong with portraying a gay couple in a commercial. I'm surprised they weren't interracial, though.

 

[Cameramonkey]

*yawn*

So they acknowledge gay people exist. Big whoop.

And besides, it makes my butt in particular happy. I wont stop buying this well made and reasonably priced product. But you do you.

 

[CPT Nervous]

I guess the biggest question I have is, why is arse hygiene so critical when you're going to meet the parents? What kinds of activities are going on where you would need to be sure your sausage sheath is squeaky clean?

First date, I totally understand. You wouldn't want Wonka putting his Willie in the Chocolate Factory without cleaning up first. But meeting the parents? There's more to this relationship than just a gay couple, and I'm not comfortable with it.

I'm with you, Doug. No more Cottonelle.

So Cottonelle will wipe the smell off a mans balloon knot, And thats information I didn't need to know, thanks Cottonelle.

It will be better when I see it on The Chappelle Show.

Geez people. Have you been paying attention. since the 1st of the year gays are making it big in commercials.

Apparently you watch more LOGO tv than any of us.


Oh, answering for friend.

 

[renauldo]

The cartoon bears go way too far into wiping technique. I can see why homosexuals would be concerned about a squeaky clean butt.

Does it make you feel as clean as a shimmering mermaid?

What's the big deal about the commercial? So they refer to a gay couple rather than a hetro couple? Big frigg'n whoop. I guess the mere sight makes some people uncomfortable.

She'd probably just hate this Heineken commercial. NSFW

Not just commercials. It seems like every network tv show has to feature some gay couple or activity. Based upon representation on tv shows, you would think they represent close to 20% of the population.

We're a Charmin family.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

I use baby wipes after a wipe or two with my Costco paper. Squeeky clean, but just because I'm OCD like that.

Well, what is important is how many squares of TP is used.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Well, what is important is how many squares of TP is used.

This requires precise calculations of paper thickness, one ply or two, ripples, pockets, or smooth, and length and width of the individual sheet. Then one must multiply by type of cleaning required, divide by number of sheets available, then round to the nearest whole sheet.

About 8% of network TV shows have scripted LGBTQ rolls. Actual US population is around 6%. Not really that much of a difference. Perception is reality though.
