I WANT ONE!!!


ok so you see those rolls of toilet paper in the picture above? well they have a horror story printed on them and they are for sale in Japan. I WANT ONE!!! Is that not totally awesome? anyway the reason this is being done is to promote that toilet paper so they got the author of "Ring" to agree to print his horror story on toilet paper. Too bad i dont live in Japan. I would love to have me one of those. LOL!! check out the article below.



TOKYO – 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.
