Bounty, you're on my list.

It's no big secret that most commercials for household products involve women cleaning up the mess their hapless, helpless family members carelessly leave for them (except for one silly Hoover Floormate commercial involving bikers, but it was only novel/funny because it *wasn't* a commercial involving a women, hahahaa, ya get it? The man is cleaning, haha!).

Normally, I think these commercials are annoying to men as well; most portray a bumbling, clumsy but generally benevolent man and an efficient woman who solves the problem for him while rolling her eyes and smiling at the camera.

But this one sort of pisses me off and make me laugh at the same time:





This one makes me go, "Hey, a-holes! Why don't you sit there a bit longer guesstimating how big a mess it's going to make once it hits that rug. And hey, Doormat! Why don't you grow a spine and throw the paper towel roll at the a-holes who are laughing about how much work you have to do!"

And then I laugh at myself for giving the commercial more thought than it deserves.

THE END.
