KANDOO!

I've seen these things at the drug store and gawked a bit but now that I've seen their TV commercial I have to speak up! "Kandoo" flushable wipes are intended for kids of toilet-training age. They're not any different from other flushable wipes except for the scent (fruit!), garish colors, and their "cute" logo - a cartoon frog who WIPES HIS ASS!!! And as I mentioned, the full impact of this weird combination of bowel movement, cuteness, hygene, and green and purple packaging didn't hit me until I saw the whole mess animated to the tune of a Jamaican jingle. This frog actually wipes himself on TV! Is that a breakthrough or what? Why has no one commented on this? Why don't we see him wipe with regular toilet paper, then with "Kandoo," then thrust both wipes at us to demonstrate the difference? Nobody is going to flinch at the sight of some cartoon frog shit, except probably me.

On a lighter note, I'm seeing Rheingold at the Met tonight (Friday), Walkure tomorrow. Kirov Opera. Buncha Russians. With their own orchestra. They do the first two Ring operas Friday and Saturday, then a full Ring cycle Monday through Thursday, then the rest of this weekend's cycle next Friday and Saturday! And this is a touring company! What the hell kind of schedule is that? Steroids with your vodka?

Also quite disturbing is the contents of his thought bubble. It appears he is anticipating a bit of purple doo doo will fall from the palm of his hand while he tosses his soiled nappy in the pooper.

I forgot to mention that you can click on the picture to make it BIGGER, but God knows what would be your motivation for doing that. FROGS EAT FLIES. HE'S WIPING DIGESTED FLIES OFF HIS FROG ANUS. He should be using Clorox Wipes, which I actually do endorse, but not for wiping private parts.
