Nintendo
continued to try to control ever aspect of our lives by introducing
hygienic video game products for kids by Revlon. For those boys who wanted
to smell like a plumber, there was Mario shampoo and bubble bath. For
girls who wanted to smell like a helpless princess who is always "in
another castle", there was Princess shampoo and bubble bath.
Even better,
they put out a comic strip advertisement that showed who should use what.
Why can't the little boys use the Princess shampoo and bubble bath? Maybe
she smelled better to us guys... maybe we didn't want to be a stinkin'
plumber. Did you ever think of that Nintendo? Huh? HUH!? Besides, what's
more disturbing... a cartoon showing Mario scrubbing a naked kid, or a boy
that simply wants to use a better smelling shampoo?
