Griddles, not the grilling kind

I saw a new toilet paper advertisement this morning and it is really...gross.

Lip curlingly gross.

A sweet little labrador puppy goes around to people crouching down and yes, smells their bottoms.

A voiceover describes how the new 'griddles' in said toilet paper will help you achieve the ultimate cleanliness in that region. (Getting a visual yet?)

Is it just me being old fashioned or is that really quite disgusting?

Clearly, boundaries are moving at a rapid race throughout advertising.

1. Durex massage oil advertisement

2. Adult marshmallows

Youtube them and you'll see what I mean.

Now I'm not saying we should go back to the days of ladies draping themselves over cars (or worse, ovens) but come on. These ads aren't creative they are crass.

Yours in good old-fashioned nerdiness.
