Startup debuts ad-supported TP in public restrooms
DETROIT Ads are everywhere, from jet bridges at airports to movie tickets. Now, Jordan and Bryan Silverman are aiming to take advertising where its never been before.
Their Ann Arbor, Mich.-based startup firm, Star Toilet Paper, recently started selling ads and coupons printed on sheets of toilet paper.
It takes advertisers a couple of seconds to wrap their heads around advertising on toilet paper, said Jordan, who acknowledges his business elicits plenty of snickers and long pauses.
The tag line on the companys website advises people, Dont rush. Look before you flush.
The company plans to distribute free, ad-supported toilet paper to public restrooms at restaurants, offices, stadiums and other venues. These locations can save money on a basic necessity in exchange for providing Star Toilets advertisers with a captive audience.

Really - would you want to receive a coupon that's printed on toilet paper. That would kinda skeeve me out a bit.
