So, I'm watching television today and there's an ad (you may have seen it) for some disinfectant spray that proclaims:

Fact: Your cutting board has more bacteria than your toilet seat.

Now this is a lovely "we're gonna scare you into doing what we want" kinda thing. But the part that baffles me is the fine print that appears at the bottom of the screen:

When used as directed. Water rinse required.

Now, maybe I'm a stickler, but there's no object listed. So for all I know they're talking about the toilet seat. And then I start to think about using my toilet seat "as directed" and wondering if I've been doing it wrong all these years, because, you know, I've never done the required "water rinse".

On the flip side, the rinse part makes more sense for the cutting board, but "when used as directed"? Maybe I don't buy enough cutting boards, but I don't recall them coming with directions. Kinda like toilet paper, I would hope it's self-explanatory but apparently for either toilet seats or cutting boards (or heaven forbid, both) there are directions, and apparently the public is using them all willy-nilly. How ever shall we survive?

Fight I would like to see part II:
This isn't really fair since the idea isn't so much that I'd like to see that actual fight, instead of watching her being vaporized by the 'Zilla's atomic fire breath.

And her little dog too...
