MEHOOPANY, PA—After the launch of a promotional campaign exhorting consumers to buy up as much of the product as possible, major bath tissue manufacturer Charmin faced a backlash Monday over a new ad that suggests it wouldn’t be a bad idea for everyone to start hoarding toilet paper again. “While there are plenty of rolls on the shelf today, we can’t promise they will be there tomorrow,” said a voiceover in the 30-second TV spot, which has been criticized for its depiction of customers stampeding through supermarket aisles, knocking one another over, and engaging in violent altercations with cashiers who try to limit purchases to one package per family. “Stockpiling toilet paper isn’t the worst thing in the world. Hey, it might even be prudent. After all, you don’t want to be the one who’s caught off guard. So why not take a drive through town and clear out the shelves of every single store that sells the stuff? Remember, if you run out of room for it at home, you can always rent a storage unit to warehouse any surplus.” Reached for comment, representatives from Charmin defended the commercial, observing that in a second wave, the novel coronavirus could conceivably mutate and begin to cause severe, crippling bouts of diarrhea.

Does everyone know that the Onion is a satirical publication?

No amount of toilet paper could clean up the literary diarrhea published by The Onion. TheOnionSucks

Toilet Paper... One is never enough

Right: at the black market you can trade it for ---oh yeah...another brand of T. P. yes, i know you are the onion. LOL

Looks at stash, sees it’s almost gone... Oh fuck....

gosh. time to get off twitter and go shopping.

no skid left behind

Simple ad. Fifteen seconds. More effective than anything they’d ever run before

It also wouldn't be a bad idea if people also start hoarding and using masks instead of Karen-ing a an employee just because you think your 'right' to not wear a mask holds any weight when you officially do get the rona, you sick fucks.

Anything’s better that those weird anal-obsessed bears.

Life was so much simpler when the 'please don't squeeze the Charmin' guy was around. audible sigh

moorewr Again?

The CEO of Charmin owns a house in Wuhan just saying

People need to get Charmin clean
