ok, so THAT's a first.
A paper towel commercial targetting men, with the apparent message that "cleaning up after yourself is sexy."

Beats the hell out of the "Mama's got the magic" commercial, if only because it lacks a mind-numbingly awful jingle.

1. I hate that ad
especially because it makes my kids crack up and they tease me for being less than the Clorox2 lady. It is all in fun but guys...many of us were brought up to feel guilty about that stuff. Cut it out, wish the ad industry would too, maybe they have.

2. Frankly, that's brilliant
As a man myself, I think I can speak for most of us in saying that the paper towel is the male solution for all cleaning. Everywhere, in every situation. :)

What's interesting is that this suggests that marketers think more men are doing the shopping.

3. the paper towel
is definitely a better napkin than most napkins.

They remain unsatisfactory for cleaning toilet bowls, though.
