Hello Kitty Goes Slutty

I should have submitted my comments on Hello Kitty’s slutty side to Sanrio. Maybe they would’ve paid me off or something – because it seems that they are not at all afraid to exploit a, shall we say, more adult approach to their creation. It looks like Sanrio is worried that not enough people are buying Hello Kitty garbage merchandise. And so they are changing Hello Kitty into a whore to appeal to young men:

Raunchy Kitty

Speaking as a man, now, I can honestly say that this attempt is a failure. But then again I am not gay enough to represent any part of the Hello Kitty target audience. One has to wonder how any sane exec could possibly think that this will work. Then again, Japanese men are very metrosexual, so who knows.

    Once again, Sanrio got it wrong…

  2. Nils says:

    Of course I won’t be buying myself a Hello Kitty t-shirt now, either. Everything’s relative though. They got quite rich off of the Hello Kitty character, so who can really argue with that.

    I’ve seen slutty Hello Kitty pictures, but this is not one of them. Teenagers dress like this in American public high schools.
