Paper Towels Go Interactive!Well, the contest is moving on to its next stages, but soon, Georgia-Pacific will be holding online voting for it's new "logo" or "mascot" for Brawny (tm) paper towels brand. You can sign up at the link above for a heads-up to the voting, or just check back later. What is the world coming to. And to think, I found this via the Wall St. Journal this a.m.

If the winner's not a masked luchador, I'm switching to Bounty!

Hope his fate is not by the product he endorses.

Ok, I'll bite, Smart Dalek. What is a masked luchador?

This reminds me of the animal cracker poll/contest. Naturally my favorite (the penguin) didn't win.

Heh, my fiancee submitted me as her Brawny Man way back ... wonder if I'll get my 15 minutes soon. Yeah, a web designer and computer tech, that's everyone's vision of a Brawny Man. :/

A bit about the current Brawny Man. Personally, I think they'd do just fine if they'd do something like give him a Matt Lauer haircut; at the very least they could correct what seems to be a trapezoidally-shaped head.

But then, they get more PR this way.
