Japanese horror story writer Koji Suzuki has teamed up with Hayashi Paper to publish his latest work, “Drop”, on toilet papers.
Suzuki is famed for horror stories like “Ring” and “Dark Water” which were adapted into Japanese and Hollywood films.
Drop is set in a public restroom; the story uses up about three feet of a roll and can be read in just a few minutes. The paper roll sells for 210 yen ($2.20 USD) apiece [via Brb]
Printing on toilet papers is nothing new in Japan, but it’s probably a first for horror story. It could prove an unexpected hit with constipation a common issue among Japanese; it might just scare the shit out of the folks.
They might not even need scarey toilet paper to cure their constipation after today. North Korea just exploded another nuclear bomb underground. This one measured much more powerful than the 2006 explosion according to sisemic readings. Those reckless idiots seem to be trying to “scare the shit” out of everyone as well as Japan. Authorities in Northeast China (Jilin provence) confirmed that they felt what they thought was an earthquake as a result of the explosion.
Keep on North Korea, and something is gonna have to be done eventually. Guess we’ll just keep on waiting and watching while they fire off longer and longer range missle tests over the coming years and bigger and bigger underground explosions. Geesh :(
Japan might even want to start to stockpile that toilet paper. :o
Quoted from N.Korea’s Central News Agency… “The test will contribute to defending the sovereignty of the country and the nation and socialism and ensuring peace and security on the Korean Peninsula [...]”
It’s ironic that some ‘righteous’ countries are using similar reason to keep their nuclear weapons.
Unless every single country that owns these weapons are willing to eliminate them for goodness sake… there’s another Iran, N.Korea etc. waiting inline to jump onto the ‘nuclear powered’ bandwagon.
And ain’t it amazing that a toilet paper article could lead to nuclear weapon discussion lol? If we keep on going we’ll start talking about the moon, or Mars later on :p
Just thought it’d spice up the article with the nuke news. Tied in with the toilet paper and “scaring the shit” out of people kind of nicely ;p
Speaking of the moon and mars and outer space etc. The April missle test was claimed to have launched a sattelite into space….ended up in fact not happening. ie: Not true.
By the way two more missles were launched today.
Not only the US, South Korea, Japan and Europe,…but also even Russia and China are now condeming the tests as a clear sign of provocative belligerence.
All joking aside however, One thing’s for sure, testing nuclear weapons while claiming just a few years back that they only had peaceful intentions of producing nuclear energy and continuing to have military troops constantly amassed along their front line border with the south in an hostile, aggressive stance doesn’t bode much for a peaceful face.
It’s also ironic that now South Korea has signed on with an international group to have the right to intercept ships in their waters actively carrying and shipping any elements consisting of or for building of nuclear weapons. North Korea has been warning them against that for several years and said, that would constitute an act of war. Big strong words but, can South Korea not criticize the north for shooting off missiles and setting off nuclear bombs practically right under their feet? Or the North firing missile tests across Japan’s airspace? These things obviously are not meant to nurture peaceful relations.
North Korea says it’s testing the weapons for their own defense. Who are they kidding? The only reason anyone would be tempted to attack them is because they are attempting to amass weapons while making so many provocative rhetoric about war and such. Do they expect no one to take their threats seriously??
