Ananova reports on another first for major brand-owner Kimberly-Clark: its ANDREX toilet roll puppy has become the first celebrity brand to be commemorated in the Madam Toussaud Celebrity Hall of Fame. The puppy, who has been registered as a series of UK trade marks since 1989, was not available for comment. It is not known whether the waxwork models were made from dogs that featured in ANDREX advertisements or from generic hounds.
The IPKat is not a-mew-sed, but respects Kimberly-Clark's dogged perseverance in building its presumably pensionable puppy into a leading marketing tool.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
