Luxury Branded Toilet Paper Makes Its Mark

John Brock points us to a Radar piece on luxury toilet paper, how it's taking off in Europe and how may or may not in America. Granted the so-called luxury market - those folks who pay obscene amounts of money for luxury branded stuff when normal stuff would do just fine - is growing rapidly and Toilet Paper World President Kenn Fischburg says the notion is "not dissimilar from enjoying different kinds of wine, a chardonnay versus a cabernet," we're not buying it. No one wants to wipe their ass with a Gucci handbag.

Do they shit first and then fuck?
Or fuck first and then shit?
Any asshole that craves lux tp, deserves to have the crap kicked outta it.

Alas, as the owner of an all-black apartment (black walls, ceiling, floor and finishes), I saw the Radar piece and eagerly succumbed to the lure of Renova Negro black toilet paper (orderable online at wellbeingworld.com - and check out the hysterical 'Toilet Paper and Pleasure' downloadable 12-month calendar while you're at it). Yes, there maybe one born every minute, but then I'd argue you're more effective in our industry if you're as susceptible as the next person to commercial lures. Toilet paper that matches my rather unusual decor - I'm all for it!

All you have to do is look at the insanity of the rich and famous - lead by the likes of Paris Hilton and friends - and one can easily see Luxury toilet paper making millions. How about luxury toilet paper for pets?

Actually, that's exactly what I would do with a Gucci handbag.

Well if you donīt think this works why even bother with advertising?

The purpose of advertising agencys nowadays is to find the target and scale it up!
