Gotta Go: The RevoLOOtion Will be Televised

In ever-so important "toileting news" this month, I have two items to share. If you haven't already heard, Charmin is running a contest that invites anyone with a strong opinion or story to share about how they "enjoy the go" to submit a video on said topic. It's part of their Go Nation Movement, errr....contest. (sorry, I couldn't help myself. Actually, it was one of the phrases on the Charmin site itself.)

Honestly, there are so many things about this entire enterprise that make me laugh...and I can only imagine some of the videos they are receiving. I'd bet that many of them are way too scatological for general audiences, and others just downright gross. I wonder how they choose the winner?

Charmin says the whole shebang is just about making your "bathroom experience optimal" as well as celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Charmin Restrooms at Times Square. But really, besides a clean, well-stocked bathroom, what else can one ask for? For my part, I require no special paper, no warmed seat, no fancy lighting—no bells and whistles, as it were.

Guess I won't be entering the contest then. Instead, I'll be anxiously awaiting the results of just who it is in America who enjoys their "go" the most and gets crowned the "King or Queen of the Charmin Go Nation." (Does that come with a crown to wear on the throne?) You have until 5 pm on Nov 7th to submit your video. For more info, go here.

In other news from the privy, a report this week revealed that Kimberly-Clark (the maker of many household products, including Scott bathroom tissue) have invented a cardboard tube-FREE roll of toilet paper. The exact 'technology' they're using to toss the tube is a secret for now, but I fear that kiddie art projects across the nation will suffer from a dearth of critical materials. Yes, it's one step ahead for the health of our environment, but one step back for homemade unicorns. Guess paper towels will have to start to shoulder the entire load.
