Charmin has gone too far.

[Trekker4747]

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:

 

[Gepard]

Ick. ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK.

Anyway, yeah, I agree with you that those ads are gross.

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

I know...EW. It's not cute. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds these commercials repulsive.

 

[Kryton]

Hey, at least you know they're doing it in the woods.

 

[Trekker4747]

Hey, at least you know they're doing it in the woods.

Ok, that was funny.

 

[Gertch]

I thought that was a tasteful way for them to convey their idea.

What else could they do? Something like this...?

Camera shows Spock's face looking intently into the distance. Then you notice he's bent over the good doctor's exam table.
McCoy: "I need to lower your shields for this exam."
Spock: "Shields down Doctor. You may proceed."
McCoy: "Maintain stationkeeping - this should be qui- Red Alert!"
Spock: "Why the alarm Doctor?"
McCoy (camera zooms into tight close up as the music tightens): "Cling ons."

I think they could've done it without delving into near cartoon-scat.

I think the "demonstration" they do in the same commercial showing their stuff not shredding verse the other stuff shredding when dragged across a surface sold the idea well.

I remember when commercials were a bit more reserved about their subject matter. Today we have diahreha commericals with people bolting out of the room making a "I have to poop really bad" walk.

Used to be to convey "diahreha" all someone had to do was make an uncomfortable look and hold their stomach.

I think we could do with a lot less suggesting pooping on TV.

 

[Mallory]

I think I'm going to have email Charmin and ask what those bears do with the used toilet paper. It's a mystery!

 

[T'Baio]

Is this really that big a deal?

I mean...Dennis Franz's ass has been on TV, and you're worried about a couple cartoon bears?

Did you see the one where the other bear pulls pieces off the butt of the other?

Bet your ass you won't see any live-action commercials where one person is picking toilet paper pieces off the asshole of another.

I mean...Dennis Franz's ass has been on TV

I had successfully repressed that memory until now. Thank you very much.

 

[Trekker4747]

What does it say about me that I'd rather seen Franz's ass on TV that a cartoon bear talking about taking a shit and having pieces of toilet paper stuck on him?

 

[the 4th hanson bro]

You do know, don't you, that the commercial police won't storm your house if you turn the channel or hit the fast forward button on the VCR/ DVR when there's a commercial on you don't like?

That your gay?

 

[cardinal biggles]

Maybe it would be better for Trekker if they had Dennis Franz as the voice of the bear?

 

[trekkerguy]

Yes, it's so gross. They're poorly drawn cartoon bears.

How about leaving the personal attacks at the door?

Wow. You consider that a personal attack? What if I called him straight? Trekker and I always good naturedly rib each other...granted, me more often than him ...but how is calling someone gay an attack?

Perhaps you should check your bigotry at the door?

I'm the only guy Trekker4747 allows to flirt with him.
