Advertising Faux Pas

Does anyone agree with me that Charmin went too far when it used The Alleluia Chorus from Handel's Messiah for a toilet paper commercial?

Yes, music that made a king stand is used for two bears to skip along with toilet paper.  I am permanently cured of buying Charmin.

What in God's name do the people in Charmin's ad department do during Advent and Easter to fail to recognize the profoundly sacred nature of this music?  As we say Down South - were they raised in a barn?

Having been married to an ad exec, I can tell you the business is full of soulless people who care only about money. And if the sacred music of another religion had been used, you can be sure it would have been yanked off the air right away.....

Yes, Vanessa, I believe you are right. Sad, isn't it?
