Charmin Bears “Ultra Soft” Commercial…
As I have posted before, I worry about the Charmin Bears…seriously! I think that we need to get the psychoanalysts in here, because their attraction to a product line transcends the normal and healthy, and borders on some kind of strange anal eroticism that is cringe-worthy, a place where I’d really prefer not to go.
In their Ultra Soft commercial, the entire bear family is sitting around their living room with “bedroom eyes,” listening to romantic music while caressing the product…and there is some serious stroking going on here! Some of the family is even rubbing the toilet paper on their face with ecstatic expressions while the strains of “Unchained Melody” swell. — Isn’t this a bit “over the top?”
Momma Bear would seem to think so, with the music finally screeching to a halt and the matriarch declaring, “OK now, this is starting to get a little weird!” More than a little, I would say…one does not cuddle with toilet paper. I love peanut butter, but I wouldn’t want to marry it…
…Mr. Whipple, our troubled Trumpland nation turns its lonely eyes to you! Only you can sort out and make right what’s gone wrong with toilet paper advertising!

Definitely worse than the apple pie fixation so graphically demonstrated in the “American Pie” flicks.

The manufacturers are obviously getting too wrapped up in their work.

We all know that bears defecate in the woods, and I doubt that toilet paper is involved in any stage of the process. Perhaps these bears stroking and caressing their toilet paper is an outgrowth of the people who provoked old Mr. Whipple’s ire by squeezing his Charmin…

I’ll never look at apple pie the same way again. I wasn’t keen on it to begin with!
