ATLANTA (AP) - He's still tough and sexy, but the new Brawny man doesn't mind helping with the housework.

The paper towel maker was expected to announce five finalists for its new product model Saturday, and the nominations make the traditional mustachioed lumberjack look like a throwback.

If in a fit of temporary insanity I ever get married I sure as hell ain't doing housework.

Betcha you WILL TOO! :-)

[Joe Hadenuf]

It's going to be an illegal alien...

[Old Professer]

Well, this is truth in advertising at its finest -- at last the spokesperson will prepare the buyer for the disappoinment sure to follow her purchase; if you want a paper towel, buy Bounty, they work.

Would I have to quit my day job?

[Dog Gone]

[socal_parrot]

LOL! I could bulk up.

[mamelukesabre]

I was thinking the same thing. Look what they did to superman with the televisions serieses (what's plural for series anyway?)

[ZinGirl]

well, we have a winner.....especially with that....ummm....'hat'?

The ax is a true portrayal of the kind of strength *I* want in a paper towel, to be sure.....but that headpiece definitely is the symbol of EVERYTHING I want in a disposable paper product used to wipe up juice from the floor.

now, about the dude holding the ax....I would need my paper towel representative to look a little more upbeat....you know, at least have a little *g* going...like he is absolutely ecstatic about being in charge of the aforementioned juice spill.

lol....

"...The girlfriend of a Brooklyn, N.Y., social worker had an even less manly reason for nominating her beau, commenting: "I can even depend on Rick to pick up feminine hygiene products for me. What's more tough?!?"..."

I'm more than happy to supply sufficient funds to enable those women in my care to stock up on these sort of items.

And I strongly advise them to do so, because I haven't the slightest intention whatsoever of walking into a public place and buying this stuff.

Stock up girls, or be prepared to use newspapers, dry leaves and twigs to meet your needs.

Well, since it is Brawny paper towels, I suppose we could pick from a couple of choices.

Be Seeing You,

[snopercod]

Yeah...I used to look like that too.

[huckfillary]

I nominate JANET RENO.

[lsee]

Thank you! That was the photo I was looking for! Brawny, indeed. Brilliant, brave, and beloved....

[aShepard]

I gotta go with Bill Clinton, especially if his likeness is screened onto every sheet.

Then, when I pick up my dog sh!t, or dirty garbage with Brawny, I can think of Bubba!

[Woodkirk]

So the new Brawny man will be more like Caspar Milktoast --
someone who the women can wipe the floors with and get to
do the cleaning?

[L.N. Smithee]

Thank goodness they're replacing that Tom of Finland figure on the wrapper. Every time I see that guy, Monty Python's "The Lumberjack Song" runs through my head.
