Professional Soldiers ® - Horror story printed on toilet paper

Well...this explains part of why I fail to fully understand the Japanese scatological psyche often found in seinen hentai manga. :p

From a GREEN point-of-view, however, how much toilet paper and other resources (e.g., liquid plumber) will be used when every person uses 3' of the stuff to wipe their a$$ because they want to read Drop, the potty horror story. :confused:

I'll stick with the tried and true Jokes for the John. ;)

Horror story printed on toilet paper in Japan
AP, 24 May 2009

In a country where ghosts are traditionally believed to hide in the loo, a Japanese company is advertising a new literary experience — a horror story printed on toilet paper.

Each roll carries several copies of a new nine-chapter novella written by Koji Suzuki, the Japanese author of the horror story "Ring," which has been made into movies in both Japan and Hollywood.

"Drop," set in a public restroom, takes up about three feet (90 centimeters) of a roll and can be read in just a few minutes, according to the manufacturer, Hayashi Paper.

The company promotes the toilet paper, which will sell for 210 yen ($2.20) a roll, as "a horror experience in the toilet."

Toilets in Japan were traditionally tucked away in a dark corner of the house due to religious beliefs. Parents would tease children that a hairy hand might pull them down into the dark pool below.
