no

no contest - hello kitty is worse...

>.<;

Don't see it taking off here like it does in Japan mind, what with in Japan the goal of girls and woman is to be cute and innocent like, where as in the UK it's to get blasted, vomit on your shoes and start a brawl in the streets at 2am.

Maybe they should make a hello kitty bludgen or hello kitty alchopops?

Not just electronics

I was in a guitar shop on Charing Cross Road over the weekend and they had Hello Kitty guitars in there. Even the missus thought that a step too far.

And they were cheap Squires, so most likely unplayable.

Hello Kitty is not worse

Hello Kitty is merely EVIL. As an evil person myself I have carried a hello kitty wallet for some time now. Be warned in plenty of time, you not only cannot trust someone with HK merchandise, you must also never let them get close enough to eat your brains.

The great and mighty Kitty army is already assembled and ready to consume all life for the glory of somethingsomething.

This reminds me of an old quote from alt.sysadmin.recovery...

"I still think 'Hello Kitty, Destroyer of Worlds' would be an appropriate name for a cruise missile."

I was a bit surprised

to learn that HK is not as well known/adored over in the UK, as she "officially" resides in London (whatever that means).

@I was a bit surprised

Yes, Kitty White is English and spends her days at school and her nights kicking arse in giant robotic war machines.

ahhh

jlist(jast usa) one day they'll start subbing good ero games. Funny guys in person mind you.

HK is British

The amusing thing is if you read on the history of Hello kitty, Hello Kitty was born in London England :D

So its a logical step her coming here as she is British by birth :D

RE: Hello Kitty assault rifle

While this rifle is mid-sized caliber and carbine length, it isn't select-fire so I don't think it should be called an assault rifle. It's just a rifle, or perhaps a self-loading rifle.

Just drag the mouse over a link-like thing to highlight it and right-click. One of the context-sensitive menu options will be "Open http://freds-shed.org.uk/ in new tab" (*). Any guesses what that might do?

(*) In Konqueror, at any rate. Perhaps not in inferior browsers.

That doesn't work with Firefox. And even if it did, it's not as fast as single clicking a weblink..

Dear God in Heaven, NOOOOOOOO!

My wifeoid is obsessed with both HK and Webkinz. So much so that she has one room (the doom room shrine, I call it) devoted to both products. Anything Hello Kitty, she has; clothing, stickers, dolls, purses, wallets, a bicycle (adult sized), I mean we're talking hundreds of items that have pudgy, beady-eyed mouthless face. Should Ganz and the parent company ever get the idea to co-produce anything in webkinz world, we're doomed. Damn the socialists, the Chinese, the republicans, the liberals or the Islamic extremists, with their automatic weapons, suicide bombs and elite internet hit squads, we are all screwed.

The world will literally implode from the mass nausea of perceived "cuteness".

We must put aside our petty differences, like religion, political alignment, nationality, geography or race and band together to stop this creeping evil.

Some of you may scoff at this notion but I tell you I'm already seeing the scouting parties for evil armies of HK and Ganz. And based on how I've seen my wife react when she sees something she can't afford at the moment, I no longer fear hell. I fear Hello Kitty.

HK even has it's own brand of visa

an HK branded visa, that's too much... wonder if they'll spread into types of plastic like gold, palladium and platinum line?

heh

I never thought I'd see such a comment thread on the reg. Lulz have been had.

Also - I too welcome our new cute feline overlords!
