Hello Kitty Gallery and CES 2008 Booth Tour

We [heart] Sanrio's Hello Kitty lineup. They didn't have anything as innovative as last year's lady shaver on display. Instead, the Kitty seems to be going emo, with a line of sweet matte black music devices. A full gallery of the booth and all its wacky goodness is after the jump... More »

Hello Kitty Contact Lenses Shake Me to the Core

There's something not quite right about this girls' eyes. No, it's not the emo makeup or stupid hair coloring, although those are pretty bad. It's… oh my god, it is. She has Hello Kitty contact lenses. We're through the looking glass here. Take a closer look, if you dare. More »

Hello Kitty Expands Upon Arsenal With AR-15 Rifle

With previous releases, such as an AK-47 under it's belt, Hello Kitty looks poised to roll out a full army. This time around, some gun-loving nut put together a Hello Kitty-themed AR-15 assault rifle for his wife (how romantic) and posted the finished result on the interwebs for the world to see. It's so cute, it makes me want to shoot something. [Rifle Gear via Mobilewhack]

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. [Kitty Hell]
