Some actors consider the commercial business their last option, for some it is a sign of lack of money, some make most of their career in it. That is the case of "Mr. Whipple", one of the most famous characters in American advertising, who died this week at the age of 91. Everybody knew the face, everybody knew the slogans, and no matter if considered silly or not, we all must admit they were catchy. 500 commercials for toilet paper is quite a load, and although Dick Wilson had appeared in many movies and TV Shows, he'll be remembered in people's minds as the author of: "Ladies, please don't squeeze the Charmin!" Mr. Dick Wilson had his own way of coping with the rather embarrassing topics of the TV ads: "What are you going to say about toilet paper? I think we handle it the best way we can." (http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/california/la-me-wilson20nov20,1,1733059.story?coll=la-headlines-pe-california). Commercial business, after all, is a part of the popular culture, and as his daughter stated after his death: "He is a part of the culture. He was funny till the very end".
