Tonight, after the 100,000th time seeing an ad for paper towels, I came close to losing it.

See, in each of those ads, whatever the brand, you see kids, or even worse, a dad, making big messes, that Mom then cleans up, using the brand of towel being pitched.  A smiling Mom.  Who looks as though she had nothing better to do than clean up the salsa that Dad and son spilled playing counter hockey with a condiment bowl.

Sorry, but any child over the age of six should be handed the roll of towels and told, "Gee, it's a shame you spilled that.  Let me know when you're done cleaning it up."

And that is especially true of children in their mid-thirties.

Sheesh.
