Think Twitter's full of it? New site prints out all your Tweets (or your favourite celebrity's) as rolls of toilet paper

A new site prints out your Twitter feed on rolls of toilet paper - or you can pick your favourite celebrity and turn their words into wipes.

The site S***ter charges $35 for four rolls of paper printed with 140-word Tweets.

The Tweets appear printed on sheets with about four Tweets per sheet.

I think this is a pretty cool idea. They'll make some money...until the lawyers step in.

I'm just speculating that someone will object to their inspired tweets being repackaged and sold; the poetically appropriateness of the new medium notwithstanding.

I...can't help but laugh at the prospect.

And, I couldn't help but think of this Penny Arcade comic.
