Black Toilet Paper 'beautiful'?

Just so some won't come out with their usual ant-Daily Mail comments, I have decided to use the Guardian for this 'none story'.

/// You are obsessed by race AOG.

To the point of tediousness. ///

It would seem that it is those others who are obsessed by race, whereas the liberal lefties choose to ignore it, I choose to bring such stories to the forefront, mainly to highlight their ridiculousness and to somehow help to level the unlevel playing field.

Why don't you pull mikey up, he seems over obsessed with Trump?

They get very upset when they are deprived from playing the Daily Mail card.

Notice there hasn't been such a criticism of the Guardian Ha ha?

It's has caused them to run around with their childish 'poo' references, they are all so predictable.

[ummmm]

We didn't need to criticise it. You did it in your OP by calling it a non story.

[Smowball]

Well my bathroom is black and white so it would go perfectly : )

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm

Didn't you notice that I enclosed it in apostrophes?

[Mamyalynne]

Their choice of slogan lacks originality,that's about all I can say.

[youngmafbog]

AOG, why would you want Mickey pulled up over Mr Trump?

His obsessiveness gives me a few laughs every day. :-)

It's a non-story, not a none story.

In answer to the question - black toilet paper is not really beautiful.

No toilet paper can be described as beautiful.

There's this thing that's happening on the Internet, and it goes like this:

1. Someone will post something on social media, and because newspapers know that they can scrape Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for content (rather than paying reporters to actually do some investigative journalism) they will print the story.

2. Even though the person originally posting the story on social media might be a complete loon, it gets traction.

3. Once it's got traction, others will ask, "Is this racist". The vast majority of sane people will say, "No".

4. The effect of this is to encourage a narrative that suggests that just about everything that deemed racist isn't.

5. Real stories of racism are then ignored.

All the above happens every single day online.

It's the new normal.

A One Off. Loved his music. RIP Fats.

This is toilet roll, LB.
You want rock & roll.

Black toilet paper has been around for a while now; nothing new, except maybe the slogan.

Either black is beautiful or it ain't. The moaners in the article need to get a life.

The colour is most inappropriate for toilet paper anyway. Toilet paper needs to be a pastel shade or white in order to tell if you have finished removing that which you are trying to remove.

Fashion nonsense for celebs' homes.

[ladybirder]

OG The colour is inappropriate ... I made the same point at 12.22 for the same reason. Totally impractical.

I've just sent through my 'six samples' to the centre of poo in Guildford......good luck the boys and gals who have to analyse it - and spare a thought for all that shyyte passing through the Royal Mail, 1st class, but then the Royal Snail deserves it, so bad is their service.

[Zacs-Master]

Only AOG could turn @rsewipe into a race row. Classic.

[EDDIE51]

Brown toilet paper would be more economical, you could use it a few times before you had to chuck it down the Loo ;-)

[naomi24]

Wow! Trendy! :o/

[anneasquith]

Stool samples are sent in specially packaging .

One can always tell when some are struggling.

/// In answer to the question - black toilet paper is not really beautiful. ///

Yep really struggling, surely you have heard the saying "Black is Beautiful"? In fact reference is made to it in the report, also notice my question mark.
