TOILET tissue advertising traditionally has featured fluffy clouds, cherubic toddlers and, of course, Mr. Whipple, the grocer who for decades shooed away shoppers fondling ''squeezably soft'' Charmin. But the ads remained steadfastly oblique about what consumers do after they tear along the perforated line. With the prevalence these days of commercials for erectile dysfunction drugs and risque network programming, however, tissue brands also are growing more frank.

Mr. Suzuki has teamed with Hayashi Paper to manufacture rolls of toilet tissue stamped with a nine-chapter horror novella called ''Drop.''

A SELF-DESCRIBED hotel snob, Jennifer Treadwell prefers to stay at Four Seasons and similar upscale hotels when she goes on vacation, for the high level of service and luxurious amenities they provide. The idea of renting a vacation home, where she would presumably bring her own bed sheets and toilet paper, was never very appealing. Then she discovered the Cottages at Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon coast, where $500-a-night two-bedroom cottages offer flat-screen televisions, surround-sound systems, spa-style robes, iPod docks, in-room Internet access and whirlpool tubs. Guests have access to a fitness center nearby and a concierge who can book an oceanfront massage or surf lesson or recommend nearby hiking trails. ''I've been staying there since they opened, and I never really thought of them as that vacation rental place,'' said Ms. Treadwill, a health coach from Portland, Ore. ''I always assumed it was a luxurious boutique hotel.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
