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. 
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. 
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.
