[...] Got to hand it to Lifebuoy Handwash for this old print spot from 2008, it’s an oldie but such a goodie. This was the start of the sanitized lifestyle that so many people are obsessed with. Meh, I say … as a cat kisser, dog patter and someone who has eaten from the dirtiest food hawkers Asia can muster, I’m not impressed! Makes me want to grab my kittehs and just kiss them harder because visually I’m not that threatened by what I’m seeing. Yes, I want to eat my cats, lick the local dogs and eat whatever garbage my hands get a hold of … because it’s not going to kill me. Post modern germophobia is good for business. Via [...]

I love this ad. I believe it is for a liquid soap, not a hand sanitizer, by the way. (I too am skeptical of antibacterial soaps, but any soap is better than hand sanitizers.)

As much as I love it, though, the ad fails for me, because I only buy simple soaps and I think that cat looks *delicious*.

Cat croissant. I’ll never think of fluffy pastry the same again.

On a serious note, sanitizers are all find and dandy when used sparingly, I sanitize my hands and every thing I use when I brew beer, but that’s it, and I don’t do it to keep me from getting sick I do it so the beer will taste good, bacteria makes beer taste like you wont expect it to taste. Sour beer on the other hand, well, the more funky bacteria (and wild yeast) the better.

These associations don’t always work out the way they’re intended. Now my stomach growls every time I look at my cat.

You know, the whole germophobia thing freaks me out more than the germs do. I personally give credit for my relatively good health to the fact that I see no problem in touching doorknobs or drinking out of other people’s glasses.

Not to mention that most cats I’ve met were cleaner than most children I’ve met.

That cat croissant is the most adorable thing ever.
I’m a little guilty of being a germophobe and using hand sanitizer every now and then, because I’m on drugs that mess around with my immune system. But people who go overboard and douse themselves and their kids with dettol are doing themselves a whole lot of damage. Having a weakened immune system is NOT cool.

…Germ injections?! Gee, I wonder how much those cost?
