Offensive TP Advertising

Posted 11.21.2002 by Dave (11561)
Editor's note: more often than one would think, people come across PoopReport's toilet paper survey and think that PoopReport is an official representative of the TP companies. I've gotten quite a few angry emails... most entertaining of which is this one.

==============================

Your TV Guide AD about Cottonnelle is disgusting. I am not interested in anyone's clean bottom. Your whole thing about POOP illustartes that you are nothing but a 5 year old learning to say SHIT SHIT SHIT. or POOP POOP POOP. That is what my children did when they were growing up. I told my wife. NEVER buy any COTTONELLE products anymore until you apologize to the readers of TV Guide.

The guy seems a bit constipated. Chill out dude.

Di Uhreea (409) -- 11.21.2002

poop poop poop

shit shit shit

lol

Trashcanman (240) -- 11.21.2002

the funny thing is that cottenelle is one of the only TPs to use truth in advertising. Most companies show people wiping their forehead or just playing with the TP. Coincidentally cottenelle is one of the best TPs out there these days. Also, that chick has a nice ass.

Trashcanman (240) -- 11.21.2002

By the way, Ralsa, I'm assuming you don't poop or use TP. How do you dispose of waste? Does it come out of your pores?

GDogg (not verified) -- 11.21.2002

Cottonelle feels good, but it's too linty. Leaves too many dingleberries.

Demure Pooper (not verified) -- 11.21.2002

Right or nuts? Nuts. Way nuts.

How offensive can a tu-tu clothed ballerina's bum be, for crying out loud? People shit. People wipe (one hopes). What's the big deal? I think this ad is a pretty tateful way to deal with the subject.

adude (not verified) -- 11.21.2002

I don't see anything offensive about this ad. Would you rather see some 300 pound man's butt crack? Come on, at least these guys are bing a bit honest about the topic.

doniker (1525) -- 11.21.2002

Trashcan said "Also, that chick has a nice ass."

Either your too horny or I am starting to get old. I didn't even think about that. Actually at first glance I thought it was a baby in a diaper.

And I thought I was strange beating off to JCPenney underwear catalogs when I was your age!!

Tydirium (516) -- 11.21.2002

this nutjob says, "I am not intersted in anyone's clean bottom." Apparently, by his visceral rejection of Cottonelle, not even his own.

This is such a weird reaction. Is this why so many TP companies sugar-coat their ads, talking about clouds and teddy-bears? Because people are so ashamed of their own bodies that they are enraged by the mere hint that they might actually SHIT?

brown streak (not verified) -- 11.21.2002

They just introduced the moist Cottonelle asswipes and the close-up ass campaign where I live. I had been hearing how disgusting the ad campaign was, but it really is very mild and rather honest. I'm more offended by the animated Charmin bears shitting in the woods, than the Cottonelle ass close ups. They don't even suggest that anyone took a shit, only that they have a clean ass.

There are a lot of people like this guy who react negatively to the Cottonelle ads, but they should be thankful Kimberly-Clark aren't showing a closeup of someone digging shit out of their asscrack or an animated ass complete with fecal residue!

GDogg is right. Cottonelle is too linty and leaves lots of dingleberries.

Dave (11561) -- 11.21.2002

This is the exact reason that ShitBeGone brand toilet paper exists, and is so popular -- because there is no sugarcoating, no lies, no teddy bears. If they advertised, they probably would show exactly what Brown Streak suggested.

Crap Crap Crap!

Jaybowel (73) -- 11.23.2002

"...readers of TV guide..." Hmmm.

pooplopper (not verified) -- 11.26.2002

Life without TP!

Talk about a MESS.

what's the big deal with showing a butt? at least it's a clean one, and at least they're selling TP and not tampons. enjoy life, it's to short.

P.S. I say poop every day!

Well, for a lot of folks, their asses, assholes and buttocks generally, do not really exist. Likewise, their shit. Acknowledging that they actually wipe their little holes, is like admitting they had sex to get their children. Anything between the belly button and the knee, is off limits.

I have always wondered about people like that. I enjoy a good shit, providing I have time to relax and there's some Cottonelle handy afterwards. So the guy has a problem, not with cottonelle, but with being the aminals we really are - eating, fucking, shitting, sleeping, working - it's all part of being human.

As for marketing toilet paper, I remember a Spike Jones song from the 50s that had the following line:

"... toilet paper touched a new bottom today..." I thought itwas funny, likewise with the little rhyme sung to me as a boy "...I want to be a bar ofsoap, so I could go slippy slidy over everybody's hiney..."

Americans especially aren't very tidy about our assholes. I frankly, like a soapy wash and rinse and dry, after the usual paper wipe - feels good, feels right and for my lover, who occasionally gets her nose rather close to that particular place, it probably is more fun for her too.

E-mail your comments, if you want to shre a story, etc.

Now who is known for having cute, licking-good clean assholes? youbetcha. Porn. Thousands of cute assholes on thousands of mags, videos and websites and never a dingleberry or brown spot (unless its poop fetish). So maybe Sylvia Saint or her colleagues could provide testimonials. We've seen the evidence.

Steven W (not verified) -- 01.29.2004

At least they actually called it "Toilet paper" and not "bathroom tissue" as many manufacturers do!

The Shit Volcano (3719) -- 02.29.2004

When I read this guy's letter I pictured some crusty old dude who doesn't know his ass from his thumb. Sort of like Grandpa Simpson.
The guy isn't nuts. He's a moron.
As for being "right", he sure is. Right-wing! He's probably one of those right-wing, gun-toting, Bible-thumping, Nazis who can't handle the fact that HE has to SHIT!

Ivan the Terrible, 3 x a Charm (not verified) -- 12.23.2004

hey, i just read all these comments about the cottonelle ad, and i agree that the nutjob who wrote that angry email has a problem. i just came to this website by accident (har har har-dly the case, was hunting for poop sites actually!) and i think this SHIT is great! my first name is actually Athena....one of the rare(r) girls interested in poo and all...........the very fact that you have a ShitSite for all this is excellent! Dave, you rule! and woot woot to all the other ppl who posted! i think that instead of having comment go it should be perhaps, but Dave as you are the manager or whatever of this website that is entirely up to you.......wow its been a long time since anyone wrote about this..........The Shit Volcano is right about the fact that the guy is not nuts, but rather a moron. its good to be specific with words.........peace out, merry christmas happy new year and happy shitting.......i just went about an hour ago, felt damn good!

Easy TSV, some of us right winger's aren't all that bad. Now to topic.

I think this guy's constipation went to his head, or is he one of those who thinks that little pink bunny rabbits running around in fantasy forest should be all that is on TV, and that it is a mortal sin if bodily functions are even just merely mentioned?

This dude has to realize that the body, and bodily functions are nothing to be ashamed of, and it is no taboo that everyone goes to the bathroom.

Yet certain people can't come to grips with the fact that this is a natural thing, and has plauged humans since the dawn of time.
