Guess what we don't want to think about while riding San Francisco's whimsical, romantic, and downright gorgeous cable cars? Unkempt sphincters.

That would be a good for Boston.
*snicker*
Except in Boston it would be "sphinctahs".
Toilet-paper advertising in general has been taking liberties the last several years.
Whatever happened to "Don't Squeeze the Charmin?" That guy never even came close to hinting that his product would indeed be used to clean fecal matter off one's rectum.
@ joel,
agreed. it's getting a little too graphic for my tastes. i can only image where we'll be 10 years from now.
Those ads are plastered across entire cars in the NYC subways. I spent a lot of time looking at cartoon asses when I was there a few weeks ago.
Lighten up, Francis.
In total agreement. If I have to see those bears in the woods on the TV commercials one more time ... RIP, Mr. Whipple. He is dead, right?
alas:
