Hello Kitty Graffiti
It’s a sad, sad day in the world when the today’s youth believe it’s cool to tag walls with Hello Kitty graffiti:
I know that Hello Kitty Hell is getting bad when my automatic reaction to seeing this is that it must be a publicity stunt marking some Hello Kitty anniversary. Sanrio probably paid a bunch of kids to put graffiti all over the place because why would anyone in their right mind (of course, this is once again making the very wrong assumption that Hello Kitty fanatics are able to think rationally) ever want to admit that they used Hello Kitty when they tagged a wall?
Of course, then the panic starts to set in imagining that it wasn’t a Sanrio stunt and someone out there really does think creating Hello Kitty graffiti is cool. This, in turns, leads me to hope that it’s a Sanrio publicity stunt (how utterly wrong and downright disgusting is that?!) so that I can believe today’s youth isn’t completely doomed. The problem then reveals itself that even if the youth didn’t do it on their own, they were willing to do it for money at Sanrio’s request meaning that the future is doomed either way. And in reality, that is the only logical conclusion one can ever conclude when one lives in Hello Kitty Hell…
Sent in by shelley who deserves to have her house tagged every day with Hello Kitty graffiti for thinking this anything good could ever come from sending a photo like this to me…

Yup… waste of paint.
I do like the little word bubble though. It’s somehow fitting…

Yeah, it looks a little too ‘perfect’ to be anything other than a huge decal or professionally done.
The ‘It’s Kitty B****!’ comment reminds me of the Dave Chapelle Show

@cierra: Nothing is sacred when it comes to HK. She will put her face anywhere, even dirty walls.
Hmm wonder what message that sends little girls? Where’s Darlene when you need her?

Do not speak of the name she may stay home.
Noting big here; perhaps some tagger has a sense of humor.

Dammit, the nose is too round. I kind of like it, if only because I like graffiti that isn’t, you know, calling out for people’s deaths and whatnot.

It is not so bad.
In fact, the author (?) put a faint shade to the bow providing a 3D like vision effect. I’m not sure if it is intentional or not.

The only thing doomed is this blog and your commentary which fails to understand anything about Hello Kitty. When will you ever learn? Hello Kitty is expressed in all types of art because those with creative genius aspire to create the best. Street artists are the same.
Everyone loves Hello Kitty. There is no need for Sanrio to pay for something like this because people are willing to do it on their own to show their love of Hello Kitty. You seem to be the only person that doesn’t understand this.

Oops. I’m off my meds again.
No one loves Hello Kitty. No one loves me. The only thing doomed is me and the archaic concepts of gender roles that have poisoned my life.
Hello Kitty is one step below the Family Circus artistically, which I only can see when I’m tranqued up on my meds.
Love Is cartoons have more artistic merit than HK.
Sanrio must be destroyed before the hydra that is Hello Kitty obliterates true creativity, art, and beauty!

I was referencing the Urban Legend I made up this morning where, if you point your browser at Hello Kitty Hell, then type Darlene’s name 5 times, she appears behind you and strangles you with the Hello Kitty garotte!

What could possibly be considered more defacing to a piece of property than a big hello kitty applied to it?

@ darlene… if this blog is doomed, why do you insist on helping it thrive? Every time you comment this blog can live on another day because at least one person is reading it
@MrHKH… this disturbs me greatly! I hope to never run into a HK graffiti… ever
