The wait is over: Wipe your butt with a stick
I don't care what YouTube says, this infomercial for the "Comfort Wipe" can't be real. My mind won't allow it to be. For God's sake, it starts off by asking how much we're all sick of folding toilet paper, as if we would all nod our heads and agree that, yes, the whole process is a savage antiquity. We're then expected to accept that wiping with a fancy stick is a bold step forward in our personal sanitary habits. No. This is not right. A fat guy cannot cite "advantages" to being fat and in the same breath acknowledge that he needs help sanitizing his crevasse, at which point the voiceover says the product helps people retain their dignity. I keep looking for The Onion's logo in the corner, and it's not there. And I weep. —Posted by David Kiefaber |

There are probably all kinds of grandpas and grandmas out there who need a product like this.

Actually, the Romans used a sponge on the end of a stick in place of toilet paper, so the extension stick isn't that new.

Dear Television:
I have been again reminded why you were a waste of time and money, and why I hated you. I am happy without you. Never come back.
Regards
Me

Has anybody tried actually calling the 1-800 number? I'd do it myself, but I'm slightly scared of what I'd find out...

why not just wrap the toilet brush with toilet paper? or make a pile of toilet paper on the floor and schooch your butt back and forth? improvise!
