German potty humor

Sauber? Sauber! Help me find this German toilet ad. It's been cracking me up for twenty years.

I want to find this hilarious ad I saw in Der Spiegel or Stern in the late 80s or early 90s.
It showed a photo of a "regular" toilet with the caption "Sauber?" followed by a photo of a superduper "Washlet" spritzing-style toilet with the caption "Sauber!"
A link to an image of the ad would be jackpot, but even knowing the toilet's brand name would be awesome.

Best answer: Are you sure you aren't conflating it with a tv ad? There is one here that looks a lot like what you describe!

In any case, I expect a print ad that was so similar would have been by the same firm. So the brand you need is Dusch-WC Center.

Response by poster: Vielen Dank! I'd never seen the tv ad, but the print ad was just about exactly the same.
