Which is worse? Hummers or toilet paper?

Americans may have come to the point where average consumers frown upon Hummers, but for some reason, we draw the line at toilet paper. We believe so strongly in three-ply and cottony softness that many of us equate recycled toilet paper with cardboard. Toilet paper pushers from Kimberly Clark to Georgia Pacific tout the higher quality of their soft papers and sales for the high-end brands like Charmin Ultra and Quilted Northern Ultra have increased by 40% in some markets, according to a recent NY Times article.

KEYWORDS: conservation; globalwarming; nutjob; toiletpaper
Europeans and Latin Americans are also less demanding about the quality of their toilet paper

I was born in Europe, and for 21 years I "enjoyed" toilet paper comparable to the brown paper towels that you find in public restrooms. I AM VERY DEMANDING!! Long live Charmin and Cottonelle!

I’m a pretty big fan of a good Hummer. What could be the problem with one of those?

Long live Kimberly-Clark indeed. I haul truckloads of it every week. It keeps my checkbook in balance.

Nobody’s stopping this yahoo from using his finger.
Wouldn’t a true environmentalist commit suicide?

Soon they’ll be working to ban all toilet paper except the cheap, hard, recycled 1 ply.

Well, if they take away our toilet paper, beware of hang nails, always use your left hand and never shake hands with Sheryl Crow.

You know the envirolunatics are having some serious mental problems when they start becoming "outraged" over the brand of toilet paper that people are using. It is good, however, to see that they are putting their "college education" to good use.

Woo Hoo!!! My Hummer is more ecofriendly than butt wipes!!
Going to plaster that one on my rear end (of the Hummer)
FYI, people who were raised during the Depression and used outhouses are extremely attached to their soft TP. My 86 year old mother stocks up on it as if she thinks there will be a run on it. She refuses to have to find a Sears Catalogue somewhere.

Of course, there's always this...

Use all the toilet paper, paper towels, paper bags, so on and so on, you can possibly use. That’s why I planted thousands of pine trees. It’s a renewable resource. Who knows? If I sell enough trees, might be able to buy a Hummer.

Hummers are worse, especially if the girl has oral herpes.
