Renova, a Portuguese paper company, is celebrating Pope Benedict XVI’s upcoming trip to Madrid by releasing special edition Papal toilet paper. The yellow and white rolls–representing the colors of the Papal flag–are being released for World Youth Day. The product’s description on Renova’s website calls them “streamers,” yet they come in the same packaging as their toilet paper and can only be found in the toilet paper section of their site. Don’t be bashful, for Renova asks you to “Open your windows to celebrate!” when the Pope comes to Madrid.Via The Curt Jester who says he now knows what to use when he TPs the Vatican. That I wanna see ...
Isn't that in bad taste? Doesn't the Pope deserve more respect than toilet paper? Perhaps I'm reading too much into it.
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't mean the bad taste was with your blog Julie in posting it. I meant the paper company was in bad taste..
ReplyDeleteNo worries! :-)
ReplyDeleteBased on the description, I think they mean you to open your windows and let them stream down a la parade streamers.
Julie, your meaning is OK, but I am afraid about other meanings that not too friendly people might give to the product. :(
