Swiffer, my new lover

I am back. Have any of you seen the Swiffer commercial with the mop/broom sending flowers/candy to their former owners with "Baby Come Back" playing in the background? The mop/broom is lurking near the door while she deals with the delivery dude.

That commercial creeps me out on so many fucking levels. On the one hand, the stalker mop/broom image really bothers me for some reason. It must have been when an old broom of ours would not go away. The fucking thing could not take the hint (being pitched in the trash) and kept coming back.

The second level is the use of "romantic" music and gifts (flowers and candy). Was there something "improper" about the level of intimacy between the woman and her mop/broom? Has her broom handle been replaced by a thicker, silicone, vibrating dildo? I just need to know (witnessing a demonstration may be cool, too). That level of intimacy between woman and her mop is too much for me. Has she ridden it for all it was worth? Will the Swiffer do her as good? Inquiring minds (or in this case, small minds) want, nay need, to know.

All I can say is given those two creep factors, you can tell P&G, the Madman's house will not be using Swiffers. I do not need the competition.

Ciao!
