I am sensing a theme of water here tonight.

1900 ... bathing is invented!

You can't be healthy, or pretty, or even good [least important of all?] unless you are clean.

WOW. Dirty=Evil. Thank goodness Dean loves showers.

The idea of doing that skeeves me so I always shower before I soak in the bath. I feel unclean otherwise.

I think the presumption is that one IS clean and the water serves to relax/aromatherapize/heal. Add bubbles and the dirt is contained (as with soap). That being said, I don't find baths fun - I'd much rather have a larger hot tub to move about in, get in and out of, etc. (also a cool tub is divine, paired with a hot one).

That's an interesting use of foreshortening to make the best use of the page - most ads featuring a bathtub would show it side-on!

Well, I guess cleanliness IS close to godliness.

That is correct.

The soap's so powerful it took his nipples clean off!

Maybe it's a mannequin? In the...tub--yeah, I don't know either. Maybe they thought men should be 'modest' too and not show their man nipples.

He does look like a mannequin, which makes the ad sorta creepy. A mannequin taking a bath while two arms snake out of the floor = WTF? o_O

You have a good point there. Showing the nipples of any gender may have actually been frowned upon then.

"Would you like some soap and a torch?"

It's a very odd ad.

Man boobs. ...well, look, he is nicely ripped, he's got a six pack, he shouldn't have to have his nubbies removed...

LOL All of those poor nipples standing erect with fear, worried that the plague will strike them next.

Well, if you wanna get nitpicky about it, that right hand in your icon is disembodied... :P

And yet Dean seems not to mind...;)

well... I... errr.... just saw your icon and I might... need to lie down for a bit

I can't see the word "toilet" without snickering.

Methinks this bathouse is in San Francisco. ;)

God, the comments on these pages...love you guys...

No, I have no interest at all in sitting in that same water I'm washing myself with...ugh. I guess the baths are supposed to be for relaxing, not cleaning...but then, why all that stuff about not being good if you stink...ah. My poor brain, the mystery is all just too much for it...

Hmm. I wonder what soap equals a more robust or hardcore turkish bath...
