Mr. Clean just too powerful for my dirt??
Wednesday, September 3, 2008 at 02:00AM I found this great tidbit of unfortunate news from http://www.goodexperience.com, a blog about "customer experience, the user experience, and the human experience." ...
From the You've-gotta-be-kidding department: The European Parliament has deemed Mr. Clean - shown here - to
be an
offensive character. A "sexual sterotype." Uhh...why? Quoting the
NYT article, his "muscular physique might imply that only a strong man is powerful enough to tackle dirt."
Just a little far-fetched! And I'm not sure what alternative the European Parliament would prefer. (Wouldn't a female character for a cleaning product be deemed more offensive?)
