Charmin has gone too far.

[Nerys Ghemor]

Oh man. The football definitely makes it worse.

Come on, everyone knows that when a bear craps in the woods, it wipes it's arse with a bunny, not Charmin!

Now there's a joke I haven't heard in a long time!

 

[TheLonelySquire]

Charmin TP has always freaked me out/disturbed me with their depiciton of cute cartoon bears that have to go poop and worry about what kind of toilet paper they're going to elect to use. But now they've gone too far.

Now they're showing these cartoon bears MOONING THE SCREEN showing off their recently-pooed buts with little pieces of torn TP stuck all over it.

The point being that Chamin's TP doesn't shred during the wiping process leaving pieces... stuck to you.

:shudder:

There are a lot worse things out there on the "poo-revulsion" scale, Trekker, but this is pretty gross.

 

[SmoothieX]

I love those commercials. I use the Charmin for Kids with the yellow Lab on it because he is cute.

 

[TheLonelySquire]

I'd actually like a response from this particular mod on why he thinks asking someone whether they're gay or stating an observation than you think someone might be, whether in jest or seriously, is an attack?

4th hanson bro? Care to respond regarding your hate?

Perhaps some people consider being asked if they engage in(what they consider to be) immoral activities as a matter of course, to be an attack.

Regardless, this is a stupid commercial.

 

[melancholymecha]

at least this ad is animated & done in a cute cartoony style. I hate the one about etrade.com or whatever with the talking baby that spews chunks at the end. Bleh!

I do not consider homosexual activity to be immoral.

A little gross, for me, sure, but not immoral.

(For what it is worth, I also consider sexual activity between two fat people a little gross.)

I wonder, would someone be "friendlied" if they suggested a known homosexual poster might be straight?

 

[Roshi]

From poo poo to homophobia! Interesting thread!

I said "some people". Not all.

Not sure about your follow up question because I'm not a moderator (although I should be!). Though I would venture to guess that maybe they would get a warning.

 

[Holdfast]

I would venture to guess that this thread is veering heavily off the very serious topic it was meant to discuss.

If T'Baio has been inadvertantly offended, I extend my personal apologies to him.

I cannot speak for my co-mod, of course, but I would hazard to guess that his friendly was down to the fact that insinuations regarding sexual preference are commonly - if sadly and inappropriately - used as a slur on people. Perhaps a swift reading of the exchange upthread led to a perception that it was being used in this widespread & unfortunate context in this particular thread.

In any case, I am certain the bro would be more than happy to explain from his perspective if you PM'ed him as is usual for queries regarding moderator actions.

Further discussion of it in this thread is not required & I would request that it return on topic (such as it is). Thanks guys.

 

[Gryffindorian]

Wow, I just can't believe I'm reading this whole thread ... here at work.

I once read a joke about a bear who "went" in the woods. He asked a rabbit if he had any toilet paper. The rabbit said no, so he used the rabbit to wipe himself.

Bah! Somebody beat me to it ...

 

[Elmo Dukat]

I can't tell if that's a football, a turd, or a giant testicle.

Turdy testicle?

What he said, which is much better than how I would have said it.

Veering into homophobia and hate is just too big of a jump.

I friendlied based on what my esteemed co-mod mentioned above and not knowing/ being aware of the history between the two posters, especially as T'Baio hasn't been as prolific in Misc as he once was. If I offended, it was unintentional and I apologize.

As always, the proper venue for discussion of moderator actions is PM so that we don't further derail this thread.

 

[Kryton]

Thank god we can comfortably get back to lambasting anthropomorphic commercial cartoon characters again!

 

[T'Baio]

Apology accepted.

So, how about those shitty bears?

Jerry Angelo is full of shit.

Obviously that bear has been fixed. (For a better picture, see SPOCKED's nuts here)

 

[Mallory]

I'm just waiting for the inevitable avatar version and the resulting MA thread "It was a BEAR butt not a bare butt! ".

 

[Trekker4747]

It needs one change to make such an argument worth while:
