== All Your Butts Belong To Us = By Mark Morford

Forget the iPhone. What you need is a deluxe heated high-tech butt-rinsing toilet seat. Praise!

There are, apparently, only so many ways you can market a product designed to clean your butt.

One, unfortunately, is animation, as in the TV commercials featuring those obnoxious Charmin bears, dancing around the forest and rubbing their big hairy tushes with long strips of soft toilet paper and making weird giggly noises in some sort of bizarre super-saccharine effort to make you think that, if you use this TP, you and your poop-tastic family can find true happiness doing, you know, what bears do in the woods.

Another way, as we shall soon see, is to make your product appear so full of sleek mandatory grinning high-tech happiness, so shot through with the notion that this product will bring you such intense levels of restful, calming, blissful backdoor nirvana that you would be absolutely insane not to buy at least, say, five.

Here is your example: Check out these photos. Of butts. That is, look at these ad banners now running all over the Internet featuring, well, photographs of actual naked butts with smiley faces drawn over them in what appears to be... I don't know exactly what. Whipped cream. White paint. Chalk. Photoshop. I can't quite be sure. ...

1. In the end - a bidet is just a bidet
And an ass is just an ass. Just ask George W. Bush.
