Chibi Maruko Chan

i was once told that there are many weird people,weird things and weird-whatevers.you can generally divide the world into 2 type : the weird and the super weird.thank you very much for clarifying to me,all you Captain Obviouses :)

i was reading one of my fav singer blog post.apparently,her mother gave her a gift,and it has chibi maruko chan characters all over it.how cute,i said to myself but wtf is it?

a sketchbook perhaps? comic? random poster?

care to take a guess?

but then i saw this word.

トイレットペパ

hey,i'm no genius in reading japanese (the blog is in japanese btw),but if i remember correctly...

トイレットペパ = Toirettopepa

Toirettopepa = Toilet paper

Toilet paper = ...(well,you know what it is used for xDD)

impressive...and super-duper weird o_o first of all,why would these manufactures want to decorate a roll of toilet paper? at the end of the day (or "business"... xD) you would "color" it to your preference xDD and throw it into the bowl without even give it a second look xP i know i would.

secondly,why would the mangaka approve something like this? to say with pride that his characters are used to wipe asses? mind boggling,it is o_o

but who gives a damn.i'd buy it if i see it anywhere in the supermarket :D it's weird and utterly used only for one main purpose,but i love weird things :D
