Cult of Mac blog spotted this little gem, and I just had to point you to it as well. What better way to protest the recent switch to Intel chips than to make your own T.P. Mac Mini Mod? Make sure you check out the previous pic in the photo-set, which features the same picture with an Intel Inside hovering over the paper.
As far as mods go, I think it is a fake. The little crimping in the paper hanging out the front tends to indicate tissue paper over toilet paper; this leads me to the conclusion that someone has simply hung a Kleenex out the front of a Mac mini and put it next to a toilet to intimate that it is actually a toilet paper dispenser.
I mean, if you are going to do a Mac-mini-as-toilet-paper-dispenser mod, at least have the decency to show that rounded roll of soft fluffy goodness arching from the bottom of the case and then take the time to bolt the sucker to the wall.
If you decide to do this yourself, don't forget to wash your hands!

Wow. I've suddenly been struck by an idea to do this with an old, old computer. Goodwill is just around the corner. Nothing like geeking out in the most bizarre ways possible. Thanks for the inspiration, Mr. TP Mini Man.

There's no claim that it's supposed to be a toilet paper dispenser, so maybe it's just supposed to be a kleenex dispenser. A lot of people have kleenex in their bathrooms, including myself...

In the UK you can in fact get toilet paper that comes in boxes and pulls out a sheet at a time leaving the next sheet hanging out behind it - maybe it was designed to stop people who only have one arm from unravelling an entire roll onto the floor, who knows. But it is possible - however I doubt that somebody mutilated their Mac to add this functionality.
