    I think it's hilarious. I posted a URL to more Brawny man spoofs
    yesterday, but nobody responded. Did anybody see it?

    Here it is again for anyone who might be interested.

    I have to quickly change the channel when he comes on. . .he gives me the
    creeps.

    Oh my gosh! You are right! He/the ad is sooooo creepy! I just clicked on
    one of the premade commercial choices and one or two of the custom
    previews... Ewwwwwwwww. I keep expecting the camera to pan to the 'girl'
    and show a woman tied up and gagged with duct tape. There is something very
    icky in those ads. I'd only seen part of a Brawny ad on TV where the guy
    was wiping a countertop so much that I was expecting him to wipe off the
    finish on it or something... Nope. I'm with you Janet. Ick!

    I don't know what it is--I don't find it sensual; and he doesn't capture any
    feminine traits in my view, yet he seems threatening. Like one of those
    nasty movies where a deranged intruder is taunting someone. (shudder)

    I couldn't finish looking - I found him really repulsive. I just felt like
    putting two hands on his chest, pushing him away and telling him to shut up.
    No shoes under *my* bed, thanks.

    Well, modom, you're certainly getting the female point of view here!

    I just saw the Brawny commercial! He's not creepy, he's simply not
    your cup o' tea. In spite of the "words" that refer to Mrs.
    Somebody-or-other, that commercial's real demographic isn't female.
    heheheh

    I was meaning modom's "innocent escapes" link - he's the one who turns me
    off. I haven't seen the ad on commercial TV but isn't it supposed to be a
    different "brawnyman"?
    I'll stick to Bounty!! <G>

    Oh, I watched that about 15 seconds. He wasn't disgusting. He just
    didn't appeal.

    He's definately different! They went way over the top with him.

    I like Brawny, but not the commercial.

    It's Mrs. Parker, and I've heard they edited out his -- um -- package
    after the ad had run a few times. (Boy, that sentence took lots of
    rewrites) D, to whom I am married and whose femaleness I have
    ascertained with a high degree of probability (32 years of observation
    and experimentation) really enjoys the guy on-line: "There's a word in
    German for a woman like you...but I don't know what it is." Who comes
    up with this stuff?
