The puppt is Flat Eric, and he (it?) has become quite a celebrity over in
the UK where the commercials (there are several) have been running for a
while now. I'd heard that they were considering introducing the campaign
over here in North America, and I guess they have.
http://www.getflat.com is the official Flat Eric website, but if that
doesn't have the info you're looking for, try doing a search on "Flat
Eric" - there are a buttload of sites.
