Think my brain just imploded watching this.

Hello Kitty Contacts

While we are on the subject of contact lenses, behold this attrocity:

Hello Kitty Contact Lenses

Did you see it? It’s easy to miss at first glance. Here’s the closeup:

Hello Kitty Contact Lenses Zoomed

Yes, that’s right: It’s the Hello Kitty Contact Lens. I honestly do not know which I find dumber, the “eye enlargement” contact lenses or these; I guess I’ll have to wait for the day that someone combines the two.

Hello Kitty Gun 3

I never realized that Hello Kitty and gun fetishism went hand in hand.

Kitty Gun

Gives a whole new meaning to this Full Metal Jacket clip:

“This is my rifle, this is my gun! - This is for fighting and this is for fun.”

Panda Toaster

Pandas are cute.

Japanese like cute things.

And everybody has to eat. What could therefore be more logical than this product?

This reminds me of the Virgin Mary fish stick and in a grilled cheese sandwhich. I think someone could make good money making a toaster like the Panda Toaster which burns images of Jesus on the toast.

Sanrio, never shy to produce a Hello Kitty product, surely had this idea: The Hello Kitty toaster.

Bon appetite!

Hello Kitty Goes Slutty

§ February 9th, 2008 § Filed under Japan § Tagged , , § 6 Comments

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.

After endorsing the Hello Kitty assault rifle, Kitty has become a gun nut:

I actually kind of like this semi-pun.

Hello Kitty Quickies

Okay, so this doesn’t become completely Hello Kitty focused, here are some collected Hello Kitty insanities. My Japanese friend told me that Hello Kitty isn’t actually that popular in Japan. Is she right, or is she just trying to protect her countrymen’s reputation?

Noodles:

Note the little Kitty shaped bits floating in the bowl.

PSP Stickers:

Hello Kitty PSP Stickers

Pimp out your PSP by adding stickers to it and making it, well, a girly item. Warning: If you’re a guy this is only recommended if you want people to question your masculinity.

Do you really want the stupid cat to watch you while you eat?

Speaking of stupid cats watching:

Hello Kitty Digital Camera:

If the cat camera isn’t hardcore enough for you.. there is a 5 Mpixel Hello Kitty digicam:

It has 4x digital zoom, the lens is hidden in the hair tie; the camera has a 2″ LCD screen on the rear. Hello Kitty Digicam uses SD Cards and has 32 MB internal memory.

Hello Kitty Machine Gun

Hello Kitty Machine Gun

Yes, yes, yes, I know. This isn’t a Japanese product. In fact it isn’t even a product - it’s a joke. Please indulge me - I certainly laughed. :-)

Singing Hello Kitty Robot

§ October 31st, 2007 § Filed under Japan § Tagged , § No Comments

Having Hello Kitty as a silent icon wasn’t enough. It looks like they made a Hello Kitty robot that tries to talk and recognize its owner’s voice.

I actually can think of a really good use of this thing: Have Aibo chase her up a tree.
