Cartoonbearsonacid...

I was just watching TV and a commercial came on for Charmin toilet paper.  Cartoon bears that were picking pieces of toilet paper out of their ass and complaining about how "no one likes to leave pieces of TP" in their rectum.

I cannot even begin to imagine how the pitch for this concept went. Alcohol, or more likely, hallucinogenics must have been involved.  Presumbly on the qt, slipped into the coffee by the ad agency, since I can't image the suits at Proctor and Gamble or whatever big, toilet paperless, ass corp owns Charmin dropping said acid on purpose.

"First, we have cartoon bears.  And, get this, they are picking little pieces of toilet paper out of their ass...." the pitch must have started.

"Brilliant!  Carttoooooooooonnnnsss!  Are they glowing.... likeyourheadisrightnow?" the medicated execs reply.  "wheredowesign?  letsgetherdonerightnow!"

There might be some other way that that concept got greenlighted, but I can't think of any other right now.

Feel free to "meet the bears"... http://www.charmin.com/en_cn/pages/funfacts_meetb.shtml

I must admit I did not pay much attention to the ad until reading your blog. Then I caught it...Interesting, not because the Charmin people are on acid, lucky for them, but because the bears are vacuuming the toilet paper off of their butts. Now I have to say in all my years of hunting, and there are a fair amount of black bears up here in the north country, I have never seen one using a vacuum. Digging one out of the dumpster while eating rotten fruit, sure, but never actually using one. Now a real commercial would feature a bear sticking his head in the window of your cabin and getting a .45 unloaded in his direction, and I can guarantee that is a mess to clean up. Of course that would be more of a Bounty commercial. Although just having a bear stick his head in the cabin window does call for some Charmin....not for the bear though. Thanks for the laugh, Lowell
