Hello Kitty Gallery and CES 2008 Booth Tour

Swarovski-embedded Hello Kitty Laptop Makes Us Wince, Groan, then Vomit in Anger

As if adorning an otherwise fine laptop in Swarovski crystals or Hello Kitty logos wasn't bad enough, NEC has made a laptop with both Swarovski and Hello Kitty, making this the worst laptop we've ever seen. Seriously, we're not even going to bother showing you the specs, because if anybody purchases this thing from Japan, we're going to have to revoke their Gizmodo license. We're sorry, but it has to be done. [Far East Gizmos]

Hello Kitty Waist Slenderer

Everybody loves a slender waist, and what better way to get one than with the world's most whored out cat? Just slip on the Slender Shaper, flip the switch to "Svelte," and you'll go from a size 6 to a size 2 in no time. Or not, since these things don't actually work. [Tokyo Times]

Hello Kitty Toilet Paper Dispenser Advances Buttocks Tech

Other than the iPod dock toilet paper speaker we thoroughly tested, there hasn't been any real advancement in the area of ass wiping technology in the past few years. This Hello Kitty dispenser changes everything with its automated dispensing unit that lets you program exactly how many sheets you want for your next wipe—which may sound useful, but doesn't quite account for when you've got hard, rocky poops followed by soft, liquidy ones. But when you slap a Hello Kitty logo and an automated turning mechanism onto something, you're pretty much pounding on the Nobel Prize committee's collective door and asking for the cash.

Casio Exilim 720, Possessed by Hello Kitty

Some Casio Exilim 720's have gotten dressed up by their cruel, older sisters in wuss gear. Rebranded the Hello Kitty Camera, the device still takes 7.2MP pictures, but it's been covered in pink and stickers and evilness. AND during startup, the camera makes weird, gross Hello Kitty noises and shows weird, gross Hello Kitty pictures. For those into weirdness, the Japan exclusive will run you $400. Go pick one up while your friends plan the intervention/your long-term disappearance. More »

Hello Kitty Bluetooth Headphones So Cute They'll Make You Vomit

The world will end with neither a bang nor a whimper, it will end with a pair of Hello Kitty Bluetooth wireless headphones. Sanrio's Hello Kitty earphones, specifically advertised to enhance your music and video gaming experience, will set you back $135 (15,750 Yen). I definitely wouldn't mind a pair of wireless headphones — I do, however, mind the overly cute kitty on the front. Still, the gadget makes a pretty good, if expensive, gift for the overly effeminate girlfriend. [KittyHell]

Fleshbot Tests the Hello Kitty Vibrator (Verdict: Great For Hello Clitty, Not So Good For Hello Cooty)

We normally watch Fleshbot's Marital Aid Test Kitchen from afar with wonder and disgust, but seeing as they're testing the Hello Kitty Vibrator, we just had to pass their notes along to our readers. After importing a red one in from Japan, Fleshbot found that the HK keychain vibe performed admirably externally, but was too awkwardly shaped to be inserted internally. They reserve their recommendation, in the end, because Kitty's "pleading eyes staring up at you as you pleasure yourself with her" was too much for them to bear. Or bare. [Fleshbot NSFW]

Hello Kitty Used to Punish Thai Police (YES!)

$6,299 Hello Kitty Robot Replaces Good Parenting

I have encircled my right wrist with thumb and forefinger of my left hand and am chanting, "Calm. Calm. Calm." However, it is not working. I am not calm. I am SHINING with angry pink Swarovski fury.

So, today I realized it has been almost two months since our last Hello Kitty related post, which happens to be two months too long. So here is a Fender Hello Kitty Stratocaster guitar. It is available in pink or black and features the famous Hello Kitty head. If bass guitar is more of your bag, there is always the Bronco featuring that son of a bitch penguin, Badtz-Maru. Either guitar will set you back $200 from Musicians Friend with optional Hello Kitty accessories also available. – Travis Hudson More »
