Horror Paper



In Japan, the author of horror film The Ring, Koji Suzuki, is marketing a nine chapter novella aptly named "Drop" which is embossed on toilet paper.

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

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.

And there you have it peeps.

Abandoned toilet breeding ground

Hat tip to wagga for this find!

Ray Benavides of the Fresno Mosquito and Vector Control District peers into an abandoned toilet that could contain standing water at 438 S. Lind. Mosquitoes seem to be profiting from the housing slump, as untended pools are on the rise.
