Unfortunately, I can't read Japanese, so I don't know whether this is intended to help educate a person on the various features of Vista while they are "indisposed", or whether it is meant to be a [social commentary on its worth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thoughts-prayers-toilet-paper).

In the words of the immortal Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that."
