Coach Ditka Flushes His Dignity

Mike Ditka has a ridiculous commercial for www.halftimeflush.com airing during the Super Bowl.
He'll help you brush up on your toilet flushing techniques in advance of the annual Super Bowl flush. According to urban legend (and the folks at Scott brand toilet paper), football fans will flush 90 million toilets at roughly the same time during Super Bowl XL. The amount of water flushed during halftime is the same amount that flows over Niagra Falls in seven minutes. The Web site offers advice for avoiding clogs during the “Halftime Flush.”
The Scott “Clog Clinic” has teamed up with former Ditka (former coach of Da Bears!) to “take control of toilet terror” at halftimeflush.com. At the website you can find, clog prevention tips from Scott Clog Clinic researchers; an informational video starring Ditka; 10 uses for that soon-to-be obsolete plunger; a toilet flushing ring tone for your mobile phone; a “Know Your Flusher” matching game; a downloadable “Clog Free Zone” sign; and, of course, information about the rapid “dissolvability” of Scott tissue.
Do not use your toilet as a wastebasket. Do not put small objects on the back of your toilet that could fall in and cause a clog.
Says Ditka: “See, during halftime, so many johns are flushed, they go into overtime mode. All that water pressure can cause serious clogs, so it’s important to prepare.”
