The following was faxed to us last Thursday from America Wins, a Michigan-based company that sells novelty toilet paper.
Company’s customers take a "crack" at Osama
Yesterday, at 12:00 noon Eastern Time, Americans and supporters of America around the world paused to take a "crack" at Osama bin Laden, literally. America Wins, a Michigan based company that sells novelty rolls of toilet paper with Osama bin Laden’s caricature, "urged" all its customers to engage in a "Harmonic Convergent Wipe" with the thousands of rolls the company has sold worldwide via the internet since Oct. 8, 2001. The event had been planned for weeks with the help of newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations around the world.
The company’s toilet paper, along with T-shirts, coffee mugs and targets, has been featured on CNN headline News, ABC News.com and in this week’s issue of Business Week Magazine. A spokesman for the company, Chuck Frank, says that because Osama is public enemy number one, the company’s motto is "Wipe number two with number one" and that this is one product Americans "can really get behind."
America Wins is adding other product lines to their committed effort to donate 20 percent of profits to children of the WTC and Pentagon attacks. Sales have been so brisk that the company is seeking distributors around the world. America Wins believes humor is one of the best ways to bring healing to the American people. Historically, wartime humor has always had a place, from Bob Hope’s comedy tours with the USO, to victims of Nazi death camps who told jokes to each other as a coping mechanism.
