Hey celebs concerned about global warming: shut the fuck up about toilet paper
If any celeb is talking about conserving toilet paper as a way to help the environment, they are harming the cause. They are too big of a dumbass to know that it turns off 95% of the population.

1. Did she really say one sheet? That's not near enough for me.
Or did she just say to conserve TP? Either way, you are right. One has to be very careful about one's remarks to the press as everything can be taken out of context.

11. No, I don't have a square to spare. I can't spare a square.

5. I have to agree on this one.
"they'll take my toilet paper from my sopping wet hands!"

6. Can I continue to use my recycled TP
that is manufactured from old plywood from building construction projects? It's a little rough at first but you get used to it.

9. Not a double standard, there are 232,903 ways to help the environment
Telling people to use one square of toilet paper is not the most pressing :)

8. There's a reason Sears and J.C. Penny put out a catalogue.
I prefer U.S. News and World Report myself.

16. hee- that is one thing
my Dad always commented on when we kids used up the TP too fast He was raised with catalogs, and said it was also how the habit of using the 'throne' as a reading room started for him He and his brothers had a "routine" on what pages were to be used last- :blush:

Using 1 sheet of tp with my kids would mean they would have to wash their hands at least twice as long afterwards- kind of counter productive.. :crazy:

"spare the roll and spoil the child"

14. Was she serious? I assumed she was talking tongue in cheek.
If not, then I agree with you. Unbelievably dumb. They can have my Charmin' multipack when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

15. Hmmmm. Until Her CD's Come Without Paper Inserts, I Don't Want To Hear It.
That definitely is a really silly suggestion, but I do like her anyway.
