Bringing Down the House

Or
Cleaned Out
House Peters, Jr., the original gay pirate of a cleaning product mascot, has died at the age of 92. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Peters was the face of Procter & Gamble’s Mr. Clean, pioneering the bald hoop earring wearing muscleman before the company realized that it wouldn’t have to pay cartoons, which were easier to show coming out of a bottle, anyway.
