Ditka Tells Us How to Avoid Toilet Clogs. No, Really.

Maybe during the Super Bowl Halftime this weekend you'll watch the Rolling Stones, maybe you'll switch the channel to watch something else, maybe you'll grab a drink and something to eat, but one thing is almost for certain: bathroom break. SCOTT, you know, the toilet paper guys, say that at half time there will be 90 million toilets flushed creating enough water to flow over Niagara Falls for 7 minutes.

2006_01_halftime_flush.jpgScott has recruited Da' Coach, Mike Ditka, to talk to us all about common-sense solutions to help avoid toilet blockages, and the emotional and financial strains they cause in a parody PSA. We can't decide if this is funny 6th grade humor or just gross, but we're leaning towards gross. Does Ditka have nothing better to do these days!?

There's also a game where you have to match toilet noises with the toilets that made them. Pretty skeevy. Of course, all this is to try to promote Scott as the t.p. that disolves the fastest and causes the least clogs. No mention that the low rate of cloggage is because Scott is so flipping thin you might as well just use your hand and if you do that there's NO chance of any clogging!
