The World Gets Just a Little Bit Dirtier: Mr. Clean Dies at 92

No, not the actual cartoon (cartoons don't die. Unless they're those cartoon rabbits from Watership Down), but actor House Peters Jr., the man who became the model for Proctor & Gamble's original Mr. Clean in their 1950's advertising campaign.

Because a lot of college kids may not know who House Peters, or even the cartoon Mr. Clean, is (these days we wipe up beer with more beer, right kids?), we've dug up a vintage Mr. Clean commercial from the '50's. It's so happy and peppy and long (how the hell did anyone have the attention span for a 60 second commercial?), it's sure to keep you humming all the way to Econ 105.

RIP Mr. House Peters. You had the coolest bald head in the business.

Tell us what you're thinking...
