Adieu to Dick "Please Don't Squeeze the Charmin" Wilson, dead at age 91. Writes the AP: "Wilson made more than 500 commercials as Mr. George Whipple, a man consumed with keeping bubbly housewives from fondling toilet paper. The punch line of most spots was that Whipple himself was a closeted Charmin-squeezer." Is it just us, or does that make the campaign sound like a series of subversive, 30-second porns secretly geared towards scat-fetishists? [AP]
