does hello kitty gun go too far? no
written by daroff on 02/27/08

i saw this and my brain exploded. not from a self-afflicted gunshot wound, though, if i owned the hello kitty gun, i believe in the excitement, i would kill myself.

mind you, i simply do not get the hello kitty phenomenon. it’s a cat, who cares? but the fact that they put this innocent little girl’s accessory on a tool of death just blows my mind with awesomeness. coincidentally, i learned just today that little dakota fanning, in the midst of her lifelong quest to never have a childhood, allows herself one indulgence, and that’s hello kitty.

one can’t help but wonder in this situation: does dakota fanning own a hello kitty gun?

    Why yes, of course she does.
    It’s the only sort of gun she’ll indulge in in the midst of her lifelong quest to totally weird out all the old dudes at the NRA meetings.

    I must say, I don’t think this gun would go well with my Hello Kitty kitchen appliances. Actually the Hello Kitty thing I find more funny is their new men’s line of clothing and accessories.

    And we heart you too Geoff. At least when we aren’t busy coughing out our lungs and wondering whether this mucous is red from blood or simply because our insides are decorating for Christmas.

    the question arises, what is more ridiculous than hello kitty on a gun?

    is there anything at all?

    But the gun isn’t an official Sanrio product. However the “shoulder massager” (aka vibrator) is an official Sanrio/Hello Kitty product thus making it better than the Hello Kitty gun.
