There are some really good lines here. Japanese entrepenurs have come up with toilet paper with horror stories written on it. They claim that the whole story can be read in a few minutes.

TOKYO (AP) — 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.

This is appropriate, since the short story takes place in a public toilet stall.

Suzuki also wrote Dark Water, which got the Hollywood treatment as well.

I stick with our Comic book toilet paper for now, at least that one is given away for free by New paper sales People trying to get you to buy their new paper. Last Year they gave away Rice, that was actually more to my liking. Then again the Comic book stile Toilet paper is an interesting idea.
