Bring Back Mr. Whipple


It's been dubbed "Badvertising". Bad ads. Ads that offend or some dislike. I would like to nominate the new Charmin toilet paper ads that are on TV. Okay, maybe I watch too much TV, but I hate the animated ads with the bears selling Charmin.

The commercial offers a new , improved product that will not shred. One (obviously animated) bear vacuums the rear end of the other bear. The bear has used a toilet tissue that shreds. Is this a problem? Have you needed the assistance of another and central vac to get the shreds off you posterior? Are advertising moguls losing their grip on reality?

Bring back the gentler Mr. Whipple ads. Bring back thoughts of squeezing the product. Banish the suggestion of vacuuming up the shreds. Maybe I should be grateful they use bears.
