I think there are to many very personal type of items being sold on comercials on tv.

I won't go into detail but y'all know what I am talking about.

I am not just talking about the commericals that come on after 2 am either.

I change the channel whent these commercials come on.

Some things are just personal.

Once you begin talking about a product used primarily to clean one's posterior after evacuating the bowels, then anything is game.

"1964
Mr. Whipple pushes Charmin toilet paper & appears for more than 20 years on TV, print and radio. The real Mr. Whipple was the president of the Benton & Bowles advertising agency. He came up with “Please don’t squeeze the Charmin” ad campaign. He sold the rights to Procter and Gamble for $1. Dick Wilson was a vaudeville actor that played the part in the TV ad."

for those "special" days women have. Specially important for women who throw "temper tantrums" or suffer from out of control, " I am going to bite you head off " type of cramps.

It is the one where a woman is talking about how she really likes her bottom really clean.

Do we really have to hear this stuff.

Toilet paper can be sold in a nicer way.

Yeah, I agree.
I'm not a prude, but I don't like 'em.
And and I don't like 'em for my grandkids either.
