"The corporation has taken all the steps so that at the end of the year there will be an important importation of toilet paper," an official with state conglomerate Cimex said on state-run Radio Rebelde.
The shipment will enable the state-run company "to supply this demand that today is presenting problems," he said.

Maybe Sheryl Crowe could send them a sheet. They can “share” it.

Probably the Obama Administration is planning to send them some of ours as part of the "stimulus package."
Of course, if they do send some, they'll print American flags on it first.

Tell ‘em to contact Sharon Stone. She can show them how to get by with one sheet/day!

Talk about being s**t out of luck.
Any country that can't make their own toilet paper is pre third world.

All you Freepers should be ashamed of yourselves! making fun of something as horrible as this! Toilet paper is a basic human need and a basic human right! If a person, or nation, can not wipe it own behind, our status as human beings the world over is diminished! Under Obamabcare, no one in America need ever fear this happening to them, as it has happened to those poor unfortunates in Cuba. Let us all unite to wipe off this smear upon the human race!
parsy, who will toilet like it is!

Luckily, they have plenty of portraits of Fidel to wipe their asses on.

Note to my Cuban friends: try wiping your asses with the Castro Brothers. Then call us. We have more than a few politicians here in the USA who deserve the same treatment.

I’ve heard they’ve tapped the liberal wiping expert Cheryl Crow to come down and tout the one-square method to them.

Nothing the NY or LA Times can’t help to resolve. Just send Fidel the old paper editions of his favorite USA commie rags and the people of Cuba can wipe butts once again. Now thats a recycling project of a worthy cause!

They can wipe with their hands.
Then lick the hand clean.
I'm sure Olepalma will commend them for this green, well brown, recycling!
