That Brita commercial that caused all the fuss

First published on October 30, 2006

Brita got into trouble for a TV ad that claimed (correctly) that toilet water and tap water come from the same source. Of course, the incorrect association is that what comes out of your butt somehow affects what comes out of the tap (and toilet).

So what if toilet water and tap water come from the same source

At any rate, the point is, I had a great deal of trouble locating the commercial on the Internet so now that I finally have it, it’s sharing time:
