Study in American Capitalism: Charmin WC at Times Square

Dancing men with full-body toilets, what looks like a branded Segway scooter with matching ad pedestal occupied a stretch of New York's main tourist-magnet with a set of public washrooms.

Honouring my recent visit to NYC (I got home yesterday), I decided to find a video with "times square" and this one popped up first.

It's going in the "who gave that a green light?" collective because there must've been some corporate executive who gave this a green light. And so I raise the question.

As an amateur vid, the audio is weak, but good edits save it and make it sift worthy, if for no other reason, than to marvel at the depths or heights of American consumer culture

Madison Avenue Needs Colonic:

Remember the power you maintain o' consumer....You want offensive, and/or insulting forms of advert to cease......cease buying the sheit, but don't forget to tell the morons why......Fat chance this will happen, most have been conditioned successfully otherwise.....


What a trip, imagine that, a friendly restroom in New York....at least they let folks elim-without buying something.....

Degrading and Demoralizing to have been hired to promote this circus.
But I am not amazed people wanted the job. I sure hope they were paid well...
