Sheryl Crow Goes After Toilet Paper

Update below: Crow's suggestion too radical even for Rosie O'Donnell.

USA Today's "On Deadline" blog picked up this gem from musician/environmental activist/rude dinner guest Sheryl Crow:

By now you've heard about the environmental dust-up between singer Sheryl Crow and GOP operative Karl Rove at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Crow wrote about the incident at Huffington Post. She also added a new posting to her Stop Global Warming College Tour blog that includes "easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution." [...]

I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares [sic] of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required. When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who's judgement [sic] I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, "how bout just washing the one square out."

What do you think of this proposal?

Do they even need to ask?

Update 9:46 by Matthew Sheffield. The same blog entry highlighted by USA Today also includes two other genius ideas, wearing your hankerchief on your sleeve (literally), and giving a music contract to the winner of a contest to see who can live closest to a stone age lifestyle:

I also like the idea of not using paper napkins, which happen to be made from virgin wood and represent the height of wastefulness. I have designed a clothing line that has what's called a "dining sleeve." The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve," after usage. The design will offer the "diner" the convenience of wiping his mouth on his sleeve rather than throwing out yet another barely used paper product. I think this idea could also translate quite well to those suffering with an annoying head cold.

This next idea I have been saving but I will share it with you if you promise not to steal it. It is my latest, very exciting idea for creating incentive for us all to minimize our own personal carbon footprints. It's a reality show. (I feel pretty certain NO ONE has thought of this yet!). Here is the premise: the contest consists of 10 people who are competing for the top spot as the person who lives the "greenest" life. This will be reflected in the contestant's home, his business, and his own personal living style. The winner of this challenging, prestigious, contest would receive what??.... a recording contract!!!!!

Update 2 (Ken Shepherd): NewsBusters contributor Lynn Davidson blogged about this earlier, although it was not front-paged. She has some more thoughts on the item. You can find her post here.

Update 3 (Ken Shepherd | 11:31): A few minutes ago on ABC's "The View," co-host Rosie O'Donnell joked that Crow's suggestion was ludicrous. I'll check against the tape, but it seems she said, "One square! Has she seen my a**?" exclaimed Rosie.

Update 4 (Ken Shepherd | 13:43): My colleague Justin McCarthy checked it against the tape. Here's Rosie's quip: "She wants everyone to use one square of toilet paper to wipe. [pause and wink] [singing] 'All I want to do is have some fun.' One little thing? Has she seen my a**?"

Update 5 (Matthew Sheffield | 18:21): Hot Air has the video of Rosie O'Donnell's reaction.

The answer for Crow/David is three seashells.

I'm also reminded of a skit on that old Nickelodeon show, You Can't Do That On Television. This woman gives her son one square of toilet paper in order to save money. Right before he goes into the bathroom, she tells him to remember to use both sides.

three seashells?

How does one wash a single square of t.p.?  I in no way mean to offend any readers, but as a woman, I'm seeing some hygiene problems and then some....should I only use one sanitary product for my entire cycle and then recycle it for the next?  Or should my husband build me a shed to stay in until it's over?  How about everyone just takes a shower when they are finished going to the bathroom?

I have decided to quit wasting my breath (thus doing my own part to fight global warming) in trying to argue against the hysteria that is global warming.  I figure the more we let these nut jobs loose with their crazy ideas the sooner this will be over.

EXACTLY!!  The more these people open their pie holes, allowing their empty headed thoughts to escape, the better off we are.  Hopefully the public will see, through their insane ramblings, that this GW thing is a hoax (especially since the MSM stifles any dissent and real scientific discussion on the issue).  If they want more rope give it to them, they are destined to hang themselves with it!!

Ditto!

Ditto!

Clueless

I can't even figure the connection between toilet paper and global warming.

A tree grows and using CO2 it converts sunlight, produces leaves and pulp and grows tall.

While doing this it gives off oxygen. So far so good. Now if you just let the tree die of old age and fall to the ground it rots. This rotting produces CO2.

So if you don't harvest the tree and plant another you produce CO2.

How does saving paper help?

I can't even figure the con

I can't even figure the connection between toilet paper and global warming.

Remember the MSM needs you to believe that for every square of tee-pee a 100 year old oak tree was cut down. One quick phone call to the PR chap at Georgia Pacific could yield you a mountain of information about how companies like GP own enough land to grow all pulp trees in cycles and haven't used old growth trees for decades. Every tree that is cut down is replaced, allowed to grow for like 16 years and then harvested and planted again.

They push the lies and misconceptions to control the masses. Same thing with the partial birth abortions..."oh it's only used when medically necessary to save the mother..." BS...There is no reason to suck the brain out of a fetus after it's partially passed through the birth canal. EVER...

Same thing with Iraq. Only report on casualties and eventually people believe we're losing the war. Ask yourself, how many have we killed of them, how many lives are better off now, how many Iraqis are grateful.

Keep spouting the lie often enough it becomes the truth...it's classic MSM playbook.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. Talk sense to a
liberal and he calls you a racist, sexist, biggot, homophobe, denier.

The fact that we have more tr

The fact that we have more trees today than we did 50 years ago is another inconvenient truth.

The MSM long ago lost the desire, or ability, to distinguish between serious thought and the casually ridiculous. Sheryl Crow is treated as a serious person, rather than the ninny schoolgirl that appears when she opens her mouth on serious topics.

Here's a Monty Python quote for you that sums up the the current state of the American left and the media enablers: "You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity."

My parents probably spent a combined total of 18 years teaching my brothers and me to not wipe out mouths on our sleeves.

When you have a disposable income of ove $500,000 I'm sure it is easy to adopt all these things Sheryl Crow is proposing, because after all, you'd probably have a bidet so using one square of T.P. is easy.

She trusts her brother's judgement? It is obvious that neither of them have ever gotten toilet paper wet if they both think that rinsing out the one square for addtional use is a great idea.

How ridiculous.

No more Sheryl Crow CDs for me...ever! I will not add to nor pay for her pompous ego.

I'd go the bidet route, but then they would start yelling that we were wasting precious water resources and the Atlantic Ocean might dry up.  There's no pleasing these people.

You're right, there is no pleasing these people. If Miss Crow keeps it up, she's going to be "Dixie Chicked." Hope she enjoys seeing her bottom line shrink.

Somebody needs to inform Mayor Bloomberg.  His latest speech includes a "NYC water conservation" program which includes water saving toilets.  They've already installed one of those toilets in my apartment (against my will) and I have to flush at least twice as much.

Yes! It is getting increasing

Yes! It is getting increasingly expensive and difficult to purchase a "regular" flow (or as the enviro-wackos say) "high" flow shower/faucet heads. When I moved into my house I had to take a dremel tool or a drill to the plactic restrictors in all of my shower and faucet heads to get a real pressure and flow of water going. Otherwise, I've have to spend triple the amount of time trying to wash anything or taking a shower. The amount of time spent washing something is inversely effected by the pressure of the water. That's why pressure washers clean things so quickly. Of course, higher pressure is only good on humans up to a point...beyond that point it can be painful or fatal. Maybe over all I end up using the same amount of water either way, but I'd rather spend less time washing.

Bloomberg is an idiot. Just because you're a billionaire doesn't mean all your ideas for society are good ones. He's wrong on this and he's wrong on guns, what else is he wrong about?

So now we understand why they cut off the Right hand in the Arab world.  That left hand is used instead of even one square of TP!  As long as Cheryl agrees that she'll use only the fingers on her left hand for TP I'll shake her hand!

Okay, if Sheryl's not mocking

Okay, if Sheryl's not mocking us with this nonsense, her brother is almost certainly mocking her. Wash the one square and use it again? Clearly a joke. (I really, really hope...)

Now, to her actual words: "I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares of toilet paper..."

She's not talking voluntary TP reduction, here--she wants a law. Who is she proposing should put this limitation on toilet paper usage, then? Congress? State legislatures? Al Gore? And who would enforce it? Police? Roving "Green Enforcers," who could burst into any toilet stall at any time to keep us all in line? Grocery store clerks, who simply wouldn't allow you to buy more than your quota of TP per month? TP dispenser manufacturers, who would be forced to make dispensers that cannot dispense more than one square until the stall door is opened and then closed again?

Oh, yeah, and teenagers TP'ing people's houses would clearly become among the worst of felonies, worthy of lifelong incerceration or possibly even the death penalty (the libs would overlook their disapproval of capital punishment for the sake of properly deterring future TP'ers).

Good questions rubylens. A

Good questions rubylens. And what about blowing your nose? Can you use toilet paper? One sheet ain't gonna do it for my shnoze. So the toilet paper lobby is going to insist that the tissue lobby have the same restrictions. I can see this going all the way to the Supreme Court!

My suggestion for Ms Crow is to stay in the bathroom and be the toilet paper police. Only allow one sheet per person, Enforce it.

Of course. The producers of toilet paper and napkins will have to lay off people. The poor will suffer. The mob will open speak easy bathrooms with plenty of TP.  A toilet paper black market will develope.

David has been accused of living a less-than-green lifestyle, leading
critics to tag her a "Gulfstream Liberal" or "Learjet Liberal." In an
interview in November of 2006, Ms. David acknowledged that owning two homes on
opposite sides of the country and flying in a private jet several times
per year is at odds with her message to others. In the interview she
notes "Yes, I take a private plane on holiday a couple of times a year,
and I feel horribly guilty about it. I probably shouldn't do it. But
the truth is, I'm not perfect. This is not about perfection. I don't
expect anybody else to be perfect either. That's what hurts the
environmental movement – holding people to a standard they cannot meet.
That just pushes people away."

Okay, okay, I think I figured it out! The sleeve hanky part tipped it for me. Crow wants to encourage disgusting practices like this in order to increase the spread of disease, thereby killing off many humans, thereby improving the environment through the elimination of a portion of the evil scourge of humanity. What an ingenious plan!

.... Nah. Sheryl Crow isn't that smart. I think she really does think wiping our noses on our sleeves like 2-year-olds is a good idea. She also seems to think that everyone in the world wants nothing more than a recording contract--enough to give up all vestiges of a modern lifestyle to get it. Uh-huh.

Summer is almost here people,

Summer is almost here people, it will probably get a little warmer soon.  Darn those SUVs.  Just watch the nightly weather folks, on my local stations it shows almost every day/night the record high was from the 1930’s and the record cool was from the 70’s or 80’s.  Every publication which gives credence to these nuts have had articles in their past worrying about global cooling, and the pending ice age.  1974 Time magazine is one good example.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=time+magazine+global+cooling

This, and the fact that several global warming conferences were snowed out, has lead the enviro-whacos to start using man-mad climate change instead of global warming.  That way no matter what the weather does, they can say, “See, we are right.” or "See, we told you so."  I remember when the tsunami hit Indonesia, there were a rash of journalists asking scientists if this could be linked to global warming.  Seriously, they asked if a tidal wave, caused by a earth quake was caused by man!? 

Here is the latest brilliant mind of global warming..climate change argument Cheryl Crow.  That’s right people it is too hot (or too cold) because you use too much TP when you potty.  Who will monitor this, the bathroom police?  I see a new television series “Law and Order: Bathroom Violations”.  These good people always claim they want government out of our bedrooms, but now they want government in our bathrooms!  Well if TP is the problem, then global warming (or cooling) is not MAN-MADE, but WOMAN-MADE since ladies use TP on all bathroom visits, and men do not seem to properly clean ourselves.  I can see the new slogans “Skidmarks Save Seals” or “a dirty butt will save Knut”  (that is pronounced kah nut, the baby polar bear).  This same crowed wants people to shower less to save water.  See hippies stink not because they are too lazy to wash, but because they are environmentally friendly.

Remember people, Hygiene is bad for the environment.  When you say cleanliness is next to Godliness, who are you, to try to push your religion on me.  All clean people are fascist religious whacos!

Yeap, the insanity is reachin

Yeap, the insanity is reaching a peak here folks, not much longer before the bottom drops out.  The means are as loony and misinformed as the ends they serve to justify.

However, just a point of interest and to underline how absolutely rediculous the tp suggestion is.  The premise of Sheryl Crow's suggestion is the notion that we are reducing number of trees by wiping our bottoms because trees/forests have to be cut down to produce that paper.  The fact is the forest cover of the US has increased not decreased due to our efficiency of land use.  We don't require as much land and trees for that matter as we did in the early 1900's.  "we harvest 80 million fewer acres of cropland than we did 60 years ago. And our overall per-capita timber consumption is half of what it was a century ago. Result? According to the Forest Service, we have actually seen a net reforestation since 1985. We aren't losing forestland, we're gaining it. "  This is even more remarkable considering our population has increased by about 150 million people!!!!  You should read the article, GREEN MYTHS: ENVIRO 'FACTS' THAT AREN'T, very interesting.

Thanks for that link

Environmental issues was the one issue I was having trouble tying the Nazi's to the far-left dems.... Thanks for that link!

Environmentalists and conservationists in Germany welcomed the rise of the Nazi regime with open arms and hoped that it would bring about legal and institutional changes. However, environmentalists soon realized that the rhetorical attention they received from the regime did not always translate into action. .....

Yeup, sounds like the far-left dems!

Please make sure your train of thought carries freight.

D,Great point.  In response

D,

Great point.  In response to both of her 'brilliant' ideas I do beg the question which of the following is going to have a larger 'footprint' on our environment?  Biodegradable T.P. and napkins or re-washable napkins.  I think the answer is clearly evident.  1.) The 1 square T.P. rule is going to require more water to wash our hands resulting in the further waste of freshwater and addition of more CO2 into the air---it takes power to pump the water to your faucet and heat it you know! 2.)  The reusable napkin idea falls along the same lines.  We can use disposable napkins and regrow trees, or we can use cloth napkins (be it sleeves, shirt tales, socks whatever) which will then need to be washed in freshwater with polluting detergents, dried and ironed---all requiring CO2 emitting energy.  If these fools actually stopped to think before they opened their cud-chewers, or listened to what they were saying might realize how stupid they sound.

I am going to have to buy TP

I am going to have to buy TP offsets, cause I use almost half a roll per wipe. My carbon s#!t print is probably 20 to 30 times average.

Seriously, I think that even

Seriously, I think that even ordinary liberal-leaning people are going to start having a distinctly negative reaction to this sort of thing pretty soon. The hypocrisy of asking all of us to make sacrifices when GW "leaders" like Laurie David, Sheryl Crow, and Al Gore are still living in ginormous houses and flying around in private jets is one thing. But when you ask ordinary Americans to start changing their lifestyles in any significant way--like going blind with compact flourescent bulbs or making do with a single sheet of TP or wiping their noses on their sleeves or setting their air conditioners ten degrees higher in the summer or letting their lawns turn crispy brown so they don't waste water or giving up their cell phones...well, when it comes down to it, I don't see the majority of Americans happily giving up the simple comforts of life like that. When global warming hysteria starts resulting in laws that cause Americans actual or perceived discomfort, the trend will very likely begin to reverse.

SPONGECROW ONE SQUARE

Your chuckle for the week from a Hollyweird…ditzy Sheryl Crow wants us all to help save the planet by “using only 1 toilet paper square per toilet visit”. The fact paper companies plant 2 trees for every one they harvest is an inconvenient truth with the liberal singer. Sort of explains why no singers get elected to anything, just way too practical. Did any reporter ask her if she is a “one square” user? Can she prove it? Liberal democrats are such a (dangerous) scream. 

from theconservativecrawfish blog

I have an idea- its a joke a

I have an idea- its a joke amongst circle of friends, but hey, Ms. Crow and her associates can basically use my idea for free....only ONE square of toilet paper is used per visit: Make a small hole (as big as the user's finger) in the middle of the napkin, slide finger in the hole and wipe whatever need to be wiped with that finger. When done, wipe finger by sliding with the unused toilet paper. Walah, one half of toilet paper was used with the half to wipe his/her pants later...Oh here's another one. ZERO toilet paper used per visit: Standing up against the wall, after you've done what you were doing, just wipe yours against the...

Sick yet? Yap, me too. But Crow and her environmental wacko friends are sicker than I am. Maybe I got sick by reading this article...

One Square

You forgot about the little piece cut from the center, flod it tightly and use it to clean your fingernail (grin)

Crow is crazy.

Crow is crazy.

Crow

I bet if she stands in just the right position you can actually hear the wind whistle thru her empty skull.

Since this thread is headed

Since this thread is headed towards the 200 post mark, I thought I would add this:

Crow doesn't understand that is nothing more than a supply and demand issue. No one (except Al Gore) uses more TP than is absolutly necessary to get the job done. So if you want to reduce TP usage you need to reduce "Crap production". This is where Crow can help, if she(and other entertainers) would just STFU and do what she/they are getting paid for (to entertain) then there WOULD be less crap and therefore LESS TP usage! ... Makes sense to me.

"There are two types of people in this country; those who provide freedom and those who enjoy it." MM says...

But she is entertaining!!!! 

But she is entertaining!!!!  Let her ramble on....  LOL  The more she runs her mouth and tries to rationalize what she said, the funnier it is.  As far as the public is concerned this discredits the green movement.  So keep up the good work Ms. Crow!!!!!!  LMAO

Let's see, the fact that WaPo

Let's see, the fact that WaPo printed her remarks without any comment either pro or con means the editors of WaPo, a liberal establishment, didn't see her said remarks as rediculous or out of bounds... as the rest of us believe they are rediculous and I detect you believe them rediculous for that matter by your playing down of her as "stupid".  We infer that said remarks are acceptable to the liberal establishment.  We also infer by the silence of the liberal community that said remarks are agreeable to them as well... snicker, snicker, snicker... 

So Syg, are you publicly disavowing Sheryl Crow's remarks as rediculous or over the top uninformed enthusiam?  Careful, you might be tossed from the liberal community for not conforming to the dogma.

<Warning: this may be considered crass but so be it!>

Who the hell does this idiot think she is?  And how does she think she would regulate and enforce it.  Now I now must liberals don't mind spending time in the s**thouse, since that is where they are most comfortable, but really...isn't it time that someone bitch slapped Sheryl once or twice?

Perhaps she feels that way because she has access to more mindless liberals who would tongue her rectum clean. 

Either way, this is typical of liberal think.  I'm betting that the crappers in her house have multi-ply and in her personal toilet, she probably uses cloth towels that are hand-washed clean by her personal illegal-alien maid.

Sheryl, you aren't bright, you're no longer attractive and your singing sounds like two cats farting......shut yer yap and wait for "The Surreal Life" to call you.

Fight Terrorism at home - defeat a liberal!

She needs to learn to pee sta

She needs to learn to pee standing up, so she won't need ANY paper. Then she can have 2 squares for other purposes.

This is sooooooo typical of the left. I'll bet she uses more than 1 square. Will Al Gore be able to buy poop offsets & use as much paper as he wants? As full of "you-know-what" as he is, I can't imagine him using less than a case a day.

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

If Ms. Crow ever had any marb

If Ms. Crow ever had any marbles she must have flushed them down the toilet with a too big wad of tt a long time ago.    Maybe she could rip up some old bed sheets for her time of the month too while she's at it.    How about we start writing on stone tablets instead of paper as well.  I knew these Gw alarmists were nuts but I didn't know just how nuts!  But they provide a lot of laughs.  

This does remind me of the Seinfeld episode of, "I can't spare a square".. Ironic or what?

Crow

These are the folks who keep telling us how stupid George Bush is.    Well I've never much cared for ol "One Sheet Sheryl" when it came to singing; but her environmental comments just wipe me out.  Pass the Charmin.....

It's now official! I have pat

It's now official! I have patented the worlds first 4 foot long sectional toilet paper. It's a rectangle and not a square but you can safely use 1 "sheet" and still shake someones hand with confidence!

I think Crow's on to somethin

I think Crow's on to something here. We could use her suggestion and do something like trading carbon credits. There are all sorts of potential benefits. Here's how it would go:

1. Set up a system of credits. You might want to call them Crap Chips. Or, just use Cow Chips. Or, "Chips" for short.

2. Crow suggests one ply per sitting. However, what if you have a "dry" sitting? You know the saying, "Here I am all broken-hearted, came to sh*t and only farted"?  Do you get to keep your ply, and ap-ply it to the next "sitting"? If so, then you now have a bargaining "chip".

3. You can either use your double chip during the next sitting, or keep it in reserve for a really, really wet sitting, or..... you can try to trade it, or trade for more chips. An internet trading association could be set up to broker these chips.

4. If you are in a private area (e.g., home, in a hotel, on a remote island), you could preserve your chips by simply not using them during a sitting. Instead, be creative. For example, don't do laundry very often. Then, after a sitting, sit on the laundry and let it absorb the aftermath. After all, you're going to do the laundry some time later anyway, and since this isn't penalized yet, you can starting hording more chips.

5. Look for opportunities to buy more chips. If you notice or hear of someone who's constipated, for example, you could offer to buy his chips, since he won't be using them for a while.

6. Finally, to preserve squares, cut down from 3-squares a day to only 1 (square meals, that is). This should cut down the frequency of the sittings, and thereby increase your supply of reserve chips.

So there. If you play your cards right, you can increase your pile of chips. And, if you can also decrease the number of your, well, natural "piles", you can increase your chips more rapidly. Pretty soon, you'll be in a power position, where you can act like famous people, and gain popularity by advertising that you really know how work the system.

I'm only offering these suggestions to help the world out, now. I feel awful about those extra rolls I bought during Johnny Carson's toilet paper crisis, and I'm just to make up for it in a small way.

So instead of a carbon footpr

So instead of a carbon footprint we can call it a crap a**print.

There's a great video clip related to this topic posted over at RedState (the first video). It's the author's guess as to what Crow might think would be one of "those pesky occasions" requiring a whole 2-3 squares of TP.

Another one of those "pesky occasions" that might require as many as 2-3 squares...

typical Lib mentality

The sad news is that Crow is college edumacated.  This is what higher education does to your brain.  No common sense.  Save TP so you can smell your body function all day long.

There is no single doubt in my mind that she has any intention of implementing this plan for herself.

Next she will advocate to stop women from using tampons.....
