CNET - Toilet paper brand Charmin has put out a casting call for five bloggers who will spend five weeks working as “Charmin Ambassadors” in a pop-up bathroom in New York’s Times Square.  “Job requirements include interacting with hundreds of thousands of bathroom guests, maintaining their own blogs and content on Charmin-branded Web sites and popular social media sites, and sharing family-friendly video from the restroom space and surrounding areas,” the Business Courier article explained.  The bloggers will be paid $10,000 apiece.  According to the Business Courier of Cincinnati, “This is not the first year Charmin has hosted a temporary, or pop-up, bathroom in Times Square. In 2008, it kicked off a “Plush Potties for the People” tour that traveled from Santa Monica, Calif., to Times Square, where it settled for the holidays.”

Excuse the pun but are you fuckin shitting me? 10 grand to blog about fucking toilet paper?? I can’t decide if it’s worth it or not.  I guess I’m not really clear on what exactly the job requirements are?  Like are you shitting or are you talking to people shitting?  Do you just hang out on the can all day and blog about it?  Because I’m pretty good at that.  Like 1.5 of my daily blogs are produced sitting on the toilet.  (Stop wincing ladies that’s healthy).  I know a lot about toilet paper too.  Charmin especially.  But only the Ultra Soft Wide.  2 Ply of course.  None of this flimsy single ply bullshit where your hand rips right through it straight into your asshole.  No way will I blog about that.  So I guess it comes down to what kind of equipment will I be issued and what are the hours?  If those two things work out to my liking then maybe I’ll start negotiating the release from my NYBSS contract and toss my hat in the ring for Charmin Shit Blogger.
