Pretty Soap Makes Dirty Ranters Come Clean

Mortarblog points us to this new online effort by Crispin Porter + Bogusky for Method, a cleaning product purveyor out of SF whose slogan is “People against dirty.”

Method’s great at pairing some naughty with its anti-dirty manifesto. Crispin captures that spirit nicely with this confession-style come clean confessional, where you relate your sin and receive absolution in the form of Method hand soap.

After reading about our addiction (see at left), a soothing voice with an Indian accent said, “You need to free yourself from your dependence on that dirty substance. Go cold turkey.” Once clean, that same voice told us we’re as clean as bubbles – “the expensive kind.”

The idea may be simple, but oh, what flair. We love ourselves some Crispin. And some Method.

Psychology says the kindest people are sometimes the loneliest not despite their kindness but because of it — because kindness extended to everyone equally is kindness that belongs to no one specifically, and intimacy has always required specificity

I read every self-help book on happiness ever published and followed every piece of advice for three years straight — and the reason I was still unhappy had nothing to do with gratitude journals or morning routines, it was that I’d been treating a wound with wallpaper

Children who grew up teaching themselves because nobody had time to teach them often become adults who are extraordinarily competent and quietly resentful that their independence was born from neglect rather than choice
