Apparently Cara has inspired some people to send in
their own reviews. We think this is great, but we must point any potential
contributors to our new submission guidelines.

Charmin Ultra
Siobahn Long writes the following:
People on the non-US side of the Atlantic will probably know about that disgusting Charmin Ultra Toilet paper, where the bear takes a crap by a tree, reading his newspaper and using the Charmin Ultra-which is strong even when wet. Ewww!! Need I say more!!!
Short and sweet. We are familiar with this commercial and agree that it is disgusting. The bear, humming
to himself, strolls over to a tree carrying his Charmin and a newspaper. From behind
the tree we see him sit down and start reading. He is evidently shitting at this
point. Siobahn seems to have caught the message. We were simply too astounded that
the bear was shitting on a cartoon commercial.
Conclusion: Siobahn didn't give a conclusion, but we think a bear shitting on TV is pretty funny. Buy Charmin.
Volkswagon Passat
by Mike Quallet.
The Volkswagon Passat "5 second rule" commerical rings true in every respect. As a new father it was unbelievable that i would be responsible for another, and that i would be telling him not to pick up the cookie from the floor (when my wife was around) while in my heart i was fighting to have him eat it...citing the "5 second rule" for anything edible dropped on the floor....
We have no idea what to make of this review, because we haven't seen the commercial. In the future, please describe the commercial so
we know what the fuck you're talking about.
Conclusion: ???. Please provide ratings and conclusions, it really helps us out.
