click swish toss

I saw this picture yesterday regarding the main differences between the US and Europe and it started my mind thinking. After a few tangents relating to why eating mayonaise for the first time is a bad thing, and how icky potato bugs are I finally arrived upon the reason for which most of europe must hate us (aside from indoor plumbing). Toilet wands. What kind of a god forsaken, lazy country can't even be bothered to clean up their own shit. Is the task of maintaining your own waste system so bothersum that acutally using a normal cleaner and a brush has proven to be overwhealming?
I mean first off, we have the Lysol Ready Brush (which I won't point out looks like a gigantic evil dildo). Egrgonomic handle? Please...I'm cleaning the toilet, not sitting in a chair for 8 hours. I mean this wonderful thing only operates 7 times. Hell I remember as a kid our toilet brush was older than I was. In fact it only had one bristle left so you woudn't so much as clean the toilet as poke at the dirt until it was clean.
Moving on, we have the Clorox Toilet Wand next. Toilet Wand? Jesus christ the scat fairy's gonna be mad when she finds out you swiped her trademark. This item's even worse than the Lysol "i'm to lazy to clean my toilet, maybe I should pop out some kids so they can do it for me" Ready Brush. You don't even replace a cartridge in this, when your done you simply toss the entire head unit. Click, Swish, Toss.....yes, the noise you toilet makes as you clean it apparently is Swish. Perhaps Batman was the ad writer behind this marketing gem... It's just sad that we need this much help cleaning our toilets. Whats next, tooth brush's with disposable heads to we don't have to exert the force necessary to actually squeeze the tube? Why...that might almost make us get up from the couch. HORROR!!!!

I don't think the various toilet cleaning options is a commercial social commentary about Americans being lazy. I think it's more of a commercial social commentary about Americans' germ phobia. I mean, out of all the countries in the world, only the US has therapists as an occupation. People are so OCD about using anti-germ products that it's almost an epidemic in and of itself.
