Hello Kitty Rocks!
It’s all right. Settle down and catch your breath. I know you read that headline and just about had a heart attack thinking that I had finally completely lost it. I’m sure you pictured me having been taken away in a Hello Kitty straight jacket to spend the rest of my life knocking my head against Hello Kitty themed padded walls (which is undoubtedly coming soon). No, in reality you once again failed to realize the utterly ridiculous levels Hello Kitty will go to sell her image. The headline is unfortunately literally accurate — The evil feline is now selling hand painted rocks that are done in her image:
Just when you believe that Sanrio can’t possible think of a more completely useless product than the Hello Kitty banana cover, they go and do this. Can Hello Kitty dirt be far behind? Or possibly a Hello Kitty slingshot to add to the ever growing arsenal of Hello Kitty weapons.
Of course, my wife absolutely loves these. Upon seeing them, the ever present “this is so cute” came with an overly elongated “soooooo” that is a unbreakable secret code that Hello Kitty fanatics use to determine exactly where in the overall scheme of Hello Kitty each product ranks.
You know how this came about. Someone at Sanrio said, “Hey, remember years ago when the pet rock was all the rage? Why don’t we make a Hello Kitty pet rock?” Now, at any other corporation in the world, that person would have been fired the next day, but in the world of Hello Kitty, that person has been promoted to a management position. Which simply means that more stuff like this will continue to flood the market for Hello Kitty fanatics and continue to move my Hello Kitty Hell to new depths…
Sent in by Adora who deserves to have to spend her life painting rocks in the image of Hello Kitty and then have them thrown at her for thinking that sending this to me could be a good idea in any way, shape or form.

Loved the title 
Anyway… This must be THE most stupid HK thing ever(and that’s saying a lot…)
(Pet rock… Reminds me of Family Guy, with that rock peeing on the carpet.)

It may be useless, but it´s interesting.
Where can I find?
At Sanrio!

Someone is going to work every morning just to paint Kitty-faces on small rocks. Is that a job or a punishment?
Imagine having … well, 50 or 60 of these at home, here and there in your bookshelves, partly hidden behind the curtains, in your bathroom. Everywhere you turn, there’s a little Hello Kitty watching you.
Nervous?

Rocks?! That’s so far beyond useless, it’s ridiculous! But you know if they’re making the stupid things that there have to be HK fanatics out there with more money than functioning brain cells who are buying them.
And HKH- awesome title! At least you haven’t lost your sense of humor in the midst of this hell.

The only thing useless is your blog and your comments since you know nothing about Hello Kitty and what she stands for. What exactly is wrong with Hello Kitty rocks? People use rocks to decorate their homes in many different ways. This is like that while showing their love of Hello Kitty.
The people at Sanrio made these because they know people will enjoy them and it will bring a smile to everyone that sees them. Unlike you and the bitterness that you try to give to everyone, Hello Kitty is about love and happiness. They are a big company because they know what people like while you have a small, insignificant blog because you don’t. Maybe you could learn a thing or two from them.

I wonder if people in prison paint those? I also am controlling an urge to take a handful of them and chuck them at something breakable or at eggs with darlene’s words printed on them.
I kind of like these, but I’d love them to have around when stupid drivers make me mad too.
They probably cost $5 for one tiny pebble though.

This is really scary: the more I look at them, the more I want some of them.
Sooo totally and utterly useless, but yet kind of… cute.
I want them, but I don’t want to want them.
Help!

I agree with darlene. If I see them displayed prominently on someone’s mantle, I’ll definitely smile–and try not to expire on the spot from laughing my ass off at such a stupid decoration.

Mr. HKH here’s how it works you buy your wife some, put them in a long vase and add water and a plant…thus drowning Hello Kitty…
Sounds like a plan to me…
I’m going to paint a bunch to sell on eBay now! I’m gonna be rich!
Helene: I think this should be added to the drug lord’s list of things he has to endure while in prison! See my list on that one!
Katsuko: I will donate to your cause!

It is rather missing the point of a pet rock. They’re not something you buy; they’re something you find on a beach, and pick out because they appeal to you.
Comment from Cyn
Time: March 11, 2008, 5:18 am
Now that must be the stupidest thing ever! Plus who other than a HK fanatic would BUY such a thing? Because appart from seeing a pebble that has been diped in white paint and had a few dots and line added in black and crowned with a bow, I really don’t see how one can justify selling that crap!
One hint though, rocks do sink when you throw them in water, so as a therapy I would suggest you getting some rocks painted with her face on, and throw them in lakes river anywere to pass you frustration on something

Let me guess. Your wife wants these as her pet rocks, and would spend a fortune on them, only to realize she can paint these herself.
Good luck in Hello Kitty Hell! May it end SOON! (Don’t you hope?)

It sounds like Darlene has been huffing whatever kind of paint they use on those stupid rocks…

Accually, I can tell you, where this Picture came from… The 30st Anniversary Kitty-exhibition-booklet. Several Artists were asked to do a Kitty-related piece each.
I happen to know this, since I got that book laying here (along with the packaging, which is a japanese shoe-carrier - as I was told by my friend…).
Additional info for those Kitty-enthusiasts reading this: Yes, I also have the 30st anniversary T-shirt - try getting one of those!

Lmao, that’s not the only thing she’s been huffing.
She’s probably been huffing and SMOKING HK weed. Maybe she’s on HK Heroin.
Katsuko
I’ll donate. In fact, instead of buying these, I’ll paint some from the rocks right outside my house (I’ve got PLENTY), and we can BOTH chuck them at Darlene.
Darlene
:-p. Freak.
Darlene NEEDS to get a life. I will admit to owning some Kitty stuff. I have HK band-aids given to me as a Christmas gag gift (as is tradition with my friends) and Hello Kitty stickers from where I worked until September, as I collect any and all kinds of stickers. My problem with Darlene is not that she’s a fanatic. My problem is that she’s SUCH a fanatic, she thinks ill of anyone who doesn’t “appreciate the love and gooodness of Miss Kitty.”
Lol, for those of you who care, Hello Kitty has been found dead in her LA apartment. A home appliance and drug overdose are suspected, but the LAPD is not ruling out other causes.
Check it out.

All sizes. I live near a park, and the river that runs through it. I have small to medium sizes stones in my yard, near the front porch, and BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG ones in the park. I’d ask to take one, maybe to throw at darlene. I agree with Chi, it’d be an honor death for darlene.
Hehe, gotta go for now, bye!

what do you DO with them? do you put them in your garden? if i could buy them in bulk i’d probably just randomly walk around putting them in other people’s yards for them to find. kinda like what happened in England:

it could be super condensed coccane in the shap of stones, but she sells them to all those shop at her stores, cause seriously you have to be on something to be ‘addicted’ to her stuff.

Darlene, you realise that by commenting on this apparently ‘pointless’ blog, you are simply contradicting yourself. Perhaps next time, you should shut off your computer and enjoy your life away from staring at the monitor.
Just a thought, Darlene.

The people at Sanrio made these because they know darlene will enjoy them. Unlike darlene and the bitterness that darlene trys to give to everyone, Hello Kitty is about love and happiness (yawn). darlene, sanario has a big company because they are big and greedy, but because darlene knows what people like, she blogs negative comments. while darlene has a small, insignificant life because everybody else does. Maybe darlene could learn a thing or two from them.
