Whilst Toliet Tissue per se has nothing to do with body modification the Australian brand Sorbent (Launched in 1952) has used [[Tattoo|tattooing]] in its advertising scheme.


The term '''Nez Perces''' (French for "[[Pierced|pierced]] noses") is a derogatory term for several Native American groups (which some have come to accept).
Sorbent recently used an advertising campaign of toilet tissue "Scrunchers" versus those who "Fold" and to further this campaign Sorbent paid $20,000 (Aus) each to two people (male and female) for them to have their toilet tissue allegiance tattooed on their buttocks (the male folded and the female scrunched).


The first group referred to as Nez Perces were the Ioway, a French derivation of the Dakota word for them (Ayuhwa or "sleepy ones"). They called themselves the Pahodja though ("dusty noses"), although the fur traders called them Nez Perces. The Algonquins knew them as the Nadouessioux Maskoutens or the Dakota of the Prairies.
The tattoo's were applied backstage on the comedy talk show "Rove Live" and were then revealed at the end of the program on Tuesday the 16th of May, 2006.


Further West in Idaho were the Nimiipu ("the people"), a semi-nomadic group also called the Nez Perces for their nose pendants. This tribe still exists on a reservation in Lapwai, Idaho and they even have a tribal website at [http://www.nezperce.org/ www.nezperce.org] with history, their tribal code, and so on; although they have removed all reference to the source of the name "nez perces."
Each tattoo was a toilet tissue roll with either "I'm a SCUNCHER" or "I'm a FOLDER" written above it.

Whilst Toliet Tissue per se has nothing to do with body modification the Australian brand Sorbent (Launched in 1952) has used tattooing in its advertising scheme.

Sorbent recently used an advertising campaign of toilet tissue "Scrunchers" versus those who "Fold" and to further this campaign Sorbent paid $20,000 (Aus) each to two people (male and female) for them to have their toilet tissue allegiance tattooed on their buttocks (the male folded and the female scrunched).

The tattoo's were applied backstage on the comedy talk show "Rove Live" and were then revealed at the end of the program on Tuesday the 16th of May, 2006.

Each tattoo was a toilet tissue roll with either "I'm a SCUNCHER" or "I'm a FOLDER" written above it.
