Hello Kitty: not just a benign feline
If it's true that most people can be classified as either "dog people" or "cat people", my tendencies most definitely lean toward the former. A cat won't lick your tears when you cry or greet you with frantic kisses when you walk in the door, but I heard it might eat you when you die.
Anyway, my meandering point is that I'm not a cat person. So I've never paid much attention to the whole Hello Kitty phenomenon,other than to wonder why this cat with a barette in her hair has persisted over so many decades. I mean, I remember seeing her on all kinds of crap when I was a kid and I still see her on shiny pink backpacks, outlining bicycle license plates, everywhere. She's kind of creepy, maybe, but totally benign, right?
Not so, for the author of this hilarious blog called Hello Kitty Hell. In it, an anonymous man details the frustrations of having a Hello-Kitty obsessed wife, and painstakingly lists the hundreds of Hello Kitty related gear that he must endure. Did you know, for example, that there is such thing as a Hello Kitty exhaust pipe? How about a Hello Kitty toilet seat? I think my personal favourite is the Hello Kitty tattoo gun.

Ethel said..."A cat won't lick your tears when you cry or greet you with frantic kisses when you walk in the door,"? You've never had a Siamese! Of course, the constant need to pet and sooth the dang cat is exhausting but there are cats out there that follow you a little too closely.

Jan Bay said...What's confusing me are the rumors that they are planning to deck the Hello Kitty character out like a panda bear for the Beijing Olympics? I get the panda bear thing, but why do they need the Hello Kitty character?

Mother at Large said...A Hello Kitty Exhaust Pipe? The poor man. Mind you, I'm not one to talk. As I type, my mouse sits on its (very pretty) Hello Kitty mouse mat. Yes, she's everywhere. That cat certainly gets around. And it all happened without us suspecting a thing. Not just a pretty face, I guess. I have lots more rantings (though not on Kitty) at my site at http://www.motheratlarge.com

Jan Bay said...Anna V. you made my mental image of Hello Kitty as a panda or a devil seem benign! I'll never view Hello Kitty as a cutesy image ever again! HA

Amy said...Actually, my Siamese usually greet me with something closer to "Where've you been? I want attention!". Still, when I'm sad or not feeling well, I can always count on my Meezers and Moggies cheering me up.

M4Mommy said...My cats are more loving than my dog!! Heck my horse is more loving than my dog!!
Right now my daughter is "into" the HK thing. And the Dora thing. And the Disney Princess thing. And the horse thing. She wants her room painted HK pink, which luckily is A LOT like Disney Princess Pink!! LOL!
I have stopped the HK from infiltrating the rest of my home, my car and her entire wardrobe. But I have to admit that I am hoping she outgrows it before she begins school.
