Charmin toilet world

Today I experienced surreal at a whole new level. Charmin (the toilet paper people) has opened public potties in Times Square. Outside on the street are videos of happy children dancing, cartoons featuring smiley bears (having fun with toilet paper), and a crew of “Charmin” dressed staff encouraging one and all to “go in style” while in NYC. OK, fair enough, no biggie right?

So I went in and up the escalator and into a whole new world! The “Charmin toilet world” features soft plush carpet, happy music, lots of dancing staff – AND TOLIETS! So many toilets! Clean, white, pleasant smelling public toilets! The staff was happy to help, open the doors, they were always smiling, always happy, and they clean the toilets after every use. After using one of the 20 toilets I was escorted to an area where I had the option to get my photo taken (I think it was on a sled in fake snow), and then finally out and back into the real world. If the whole world could just be like the Charmin public toilets we would have peace and an end to all strife. The rumor is that the toilets won’t be there forever, go now and experience a little slice of heaven before it is too late.
