Shit Be Gone


I nearly fell off the chair when I found this website - selling this product.

ShitBeGone

Where they proudly proclaim;

"ShitBegone toilet paper is a quality product that exemplifies your attitude and approach to life. "

How did they know? It's like they really, truly know me.

"Part journey of discovery, part assertion of responsibility, part embrace of life, ShitBegone expresses hope and belief that a better world is possible."

Man, it's like Ghandi works there or something. Now, they go on to praise their product, describing how to properly use the paper for wiping, something I find almost scientific in its description. And, of course, it's all recycled paper, or as they say;

"(Who but a true asshole, would sell something that was made of 100% fresh ground up forests— more expensive than necessary— and engineered to encourage overuse? That's corporate America for you...)"

That's an advertising tag line you can really enjoy.

But, I think they are missing a huge opportunity, imagine if you will, you are in a big meeting, or talking with your lawyer, or discussing the price of a new car with a salesperson, and, you plunk down one of these babies - and tell the folks, let's cut the crap...I think they could be sitting on a gold mine!
