Just as men respond to babes in beer ads, Georgia-Pacific says women go for a Brawny man to sell them paper towels

[HarleyD]

Women would never go for something so sexist. :O)

[tiamat]

LOL!

Awwww c'mon!

You don't think the Soccer Moms have fantasies about a threesome with Brawny guy and Mr. Clean?

So he isn't going to look like a Gay Canadian Lumberjack anymore? This is so insensitive to the gay community. GOOD!!

[mtbopfuyn]

Ok, I'll admit it. I bought Brawny ... once. Strong with a gentle touch is fine in a real man, but I want cheap that still gets the job done (no pun) in a paper towel.

[wimpycat]

Scott paper towels (and toilet paper) meets your requirements.

Naaahhh....the Orkin Man (woohoo!)

[doodad]

He will be a metrosexual.

[Miss Marple]

I buy Viva, which are more cloth-like, for cleaning. Bounty is for cooking bacon in the microwave.

[tiamat]

I forgot about him! LOL!

Metrosexual Eye for the Brawny Guy:

White and Pure White paper towels? Where are the towels of color? Call Jesse Jackson! Call Al Sharpton! This is a company in desparate need of a shakedown.

[Charles Henrickson]

Call Jesse Jackson! Call Al Sharpton!

They will demand perforations.

A woman was sitting in a restaurant when an extremely handsome man approached her.

Smiling, he said, ”I will do anything you want me to do for just $20…. BUT you have to tell me what you want in three words or less.”

Handing him the money, she leaned toward him and whispered sensuously in his ear-
“Clean my house.”

[The Shootist]

Brawny may be out-of-date but Mr. Clean shall live forever.

[Aggie Mama]

Ha! That's great. Have you seen the new commercial advertising some papertowel with the guy that cleans up the spills he makes while making a romantic dinner for his wife. It's so funny I laugh every time I see it.

[gridlock]

I just wanna know why they turned the lovable Aunt Jemima into the African-American Female Terminator. That woman looks like she could chew on chains and spit out nails!

[MamaTexan]

LOL!- I think I have seen that one.

Another good one (I think its for a mop or something) is where a lady opens her door and a kangaroo starts hopping around her kitchen.

Then a VERY well-built Aussie guy comes in and cleans it up for her.

Sometimes I wonder how these add agencies come up with this stuff! :)

I read somewhere that that guy committed suicide.

"He's strong with a gentle touch, and that's what women want," Biondi says.

Oh great, a '90's "sensitive" lumberjack.
