Cottonelle Features Gay Couple In New Toilet Paper Ad

Monsters And Critics reports:

A new Cottonelle commercial has debuted for 2019 — but there’s more than one version. The two TV spots are almost identical, but while one features a gay couple, a second features lovers who are straight.

The premise of both appears to be that if you’re going to meet your partner’s parents, you probably want a clean bottom.

But while one, featuring a heterosexual couple, ends with “…and makes you feel like the kind of guy she takes home to mother”, the second one, featuring two men, ends “…and make you feel like the kind of guy he takes home to mother”.

The campaign launched last week, but I just learned about it via text message from my mother, who writes, “Thought you should know.” For real. Cottonelle is a Kimberly-Clark brand. Last year the company grossed over $18 billion.
