OMFG. Yes, OMFG. That’s the only logical reaction to this commercial for the Comfort Wipe, the “revolutionary” new product that lets you wipe your ass without ever having to touch it or a piece of dirty toilet paper.

Dabitch is right when she wrote on Adland,”I predict that ‘The first improvement of toilet paper as we know it since the 1880’s!’ and ‘Get-a-grip’ will be punchlines in late-night shows by next week, and finally topple ‘I have fallen and I can’t get up’ & ‘set it and forget it’ from their thrones.” Thrones. Funny, Åsk.

And if this doesn’t stick, there’s always “apply directly to the forhead.”

The people others describe as having “good energy” usually aren’t doing anything mystical, they’ve quietly built three habits: naming what they noticed someone else did well, letting a silence sit instead of filling it with their own story, and asking a second question instead of stopping at the first
