How did the Japanese end up with a horror story on toilet paper? I believe to answer this,  certain facts that have to be considered.

Fact #1: Japan is about ten times more interesting than the United States and for reasons unknown, more interesting than much of Asia.

Fact #2: The Japanese seem to be overly-fascinated with life in the toilet. (As evidence to this, I would like to submit various ingenious toilet devices and applications all available in Japan)

Fact #3: People like to read in the bathroom. (For evidence regarding this, I would like to submit my own bathroom reading material as evidence, which contains but is not limited to the following reading material: Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey, two Uncle John's bathroom humor books, and the occasional novel.)

Fact #4: Japanese directors and writers are capable of very creepy, very scary horror movies, which seem to be lacking here in the United States. (I would like to submit "The Ring" as evidence of this. Although I never made it through the entire movie, I was very, very scared for the twenty minutes I did see.)

Fact #5: Everyone seems to agree that newspapers are now meant for little more than lining bird cages, and the consensus is that other print media are also on their way out. Also, the cost of printing books is not getting cheaper.

Taking these facts into consideration, the Japanese, being the greatest minds of our time, came up with what will quite possibly revolutionalize the publishing industry for all time: a horror novel printed on toilet paper. Koji Suzuki, author of "The Ring" has now published a horror story over about 90 sheets of toilet paper.

Think about it. You can eliminate the clutter of books in the bathroom, still get your reading in (I wonder if every family member will each have their own personal toilet paper in the future.), and be very stylish for your friends and neighbors who happen upon your toilet.

Airports could use comic strip toilet paper, restaurants could offer summer-time drink specials for those already needing more frequent poddy trips, and fast food restaurants could secretly offer free drinks on their coupons. (admittedly, the last suggestion is not without its flaws as it could very well cause a toilet paper frenzy of the likes we have not yet seen). Children could be enticed to enjoy wiping (sorry for the very graphic image you may be getting here.) with their favorite story books on the napkins. I am in no way joking when I say that this could very well revolutionize society as we know it today.

Think of the green benefits as well. Books on toilet paper saves toilet paper. (Do you think I could get an Obama green grant for starting this movement in the United States?)
