A new low has been reached in advertising - talking pee and poop emojis.

Just yesterday, I saw a new ad campaign for Pull-Ups training pants.

It features a talking drop of urine and a pile of poop with a vaguely British accent. The emojis are sitting on a roll of toilet paper, discussing how proud they are of a child learning to use the bathroom. They even have names - Yureen and Terd.

Seriously???!!! I thought the Dude Wipes commercial was gross enough. No dignity, no sophistication.

1. I haven't seen the commercial. It sounds disgusting. But the names are funny.

2. The whole country can't read above a 6th. grade level and Americans are proving they have

the maturity of 12 year-olds. These are the folks in charge of advertising, as well as our government.

3. You are being very generous about the maturity level.

If my kids were still of an age to need a product like this, I would not buy this brand just because the ad is so crass.

4. The Leo Burnett Agency, many years ago, created my all-time favorite commercial.

They have now descended into a "poop and pee" commercial. I may not recover from this.

6. This is a German version of my favorite VW commercial - it's animated...

...and shows a sturdy little VW bug surviving a number of attempts to destroy it. It bounces up, shakes it little wheels and carries on - sort of a Volkswagen variation of the old Timex watch ad - "Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'."

I learned to drive a stick shift on my dad's pale blue VW bug so I have a fondness for those little cars.

5. This has been going since they advertised toilet

paper during Kennedy's Inauguration...
