Hello Kitty Hell Lecture and Photo Dump

Hello Kitty Anthropology & Weekend Photo Dump

My wife now wants to become an Anthropologist. What would cause my wife to all of a sudden want to be an Anthropologist? Well, it seems that if you are one Christine R. Yano and an Anthropology professor at the University of Hawaii, you can get paid to write research papers such as Wink on Pink: Interpreting Japanese Cute as It Grabs the Global Headlines which is all about Hello Kitty. The fact that Cambridge University Press would be willing to publish anything related to the evil feline and give her any academic credence at all goes to show how fast the world is spinning out of control.

And for those who can still keep their food down after reading that, here is the past week’s hello Kitty photo dump which will surely leave your stomach feeling a little lighter:

Hello Kitty Panty Liners
Hello Kitty Wall Display
Hello Kitty Push-Up Bras
Hello Kitty Carabiner

Hello Kitty Fanatic Experiment

It’s always an adventure (to put it diplomatically) when walking with a Hello Kitty fanatic. Usually they look at my wife, then look at me bravely smiling and give that sympathetic look — tears beginning to well up in their eyes at the pure injustice of it all — which is reserved for the truly unfortunate beings of the world; small kids starving in Africa and me.

Then there are the times when I am forced out on my own with some Hello Kitty item in hand and have to face the unapproving wrath reserved for serial killers and terrorists on the nation’s most wanted list.

So when Not That Kind of Girl decided to parade around as a Hello Kitty fanatic as an experiment, I instantly felt sympathy for her.

Hello Kitty Twitter, Hello Kitty Facebook and Hello Kitty Photos

It’s truly beyond me why people that read this blog want me to also post on twitter and facebook since the regular blog posts should be enough to make any normal person go insane, but it’s a request that I get way too often. For your own mental health, I strongly encourage you not to sign up for either, but to keep my email clear of the whining requests, I have gone ahead and done it. If you dare to expose yourself to more torture from the evil feline than any person should endure, you can follow Hello Kitty Hell on twitter and Become a fan of Hello Kitty Hell on facebook.

In addition, I have started a Hello Kitty photo section so that 1) I don’t have to receive the same photos again and again and 2) Hello Kitty whiners will stop emailing me the same photos yet again (after sending them again and again) asking me why I don’t place the photos that they send again and again to me up. This section will be the photo dump area where you should only venture when you feel the need to inflict vast amounts of pain on yourself. For example, this week’s Hello Kitty photo dump includes:

Hello Kitty High Heel Shoe Phone
Hello Kitty Smart Car
Hello Kitty Belly Dancer
Hello Kitty Pregnant Cake
Hello Kitty Coffee Maker Toaster Oven

Welcome to a glimpse of my Hello Kitty Hell…

Hello Kitty Hell Emails

More random Hello Kitty emails that found their way to me recently:

This HK Guitar showed up at my house as a gift. Is it from all of the kind comment people on HK Hell, or the disapproving ones who would like me to plug the guitar in with my feet wet?

Or did MELLY send it to me? She has my PIN number.
Thank You, HKH, Jeanne, Monterey Bay, California

Where To Find Hello Kitty Converse Hightops (and anything else on this blog)

As many of you have noticed, I have not posted in awhile. This was not due to there being a lack of the evil feline goods making their way into my life to increase the Hello Kitty Hell I live in or which to rant about, but because of a bet I made with my wife. She once again (at the unfortunate urging of Hello Kitty fanatics that believe this blog is disrespectful to both my wife and Hello Kitty) decided that this blog should be terminated. Somehow the Hello Kitty fanatics have now decided that the real problem is that I am addicted to and obsessed with Hello Kitty since that is the only way that I could write a blog about Hello Kitty (even if it happens to be negative).

There can be no bigger Hello Kitty Hell than actually trying to reason with a Hello Kitty fanatic since they are inherently void of this capability. Unable to convince my wife that I was not “negatively obsessed” with Hello Kitty, I asked her what I could do to prove that I wasn’t. She said that if I could go a month without doing any work on this blog that she would believe me and that she would no longer bother me about closing the blog down. If, however, I couldn’t last a month without working on the blog, I would have to tell any Hello Kitty fan where to get the items on this blog that they wanted and to turn over the blog to her and her Hello Kitty fanatic friends to do with as they wished.

The deal was struck and everything was going fine until many of the regular readers started to complain that I wasn’t updating this blog (since obviously they would have no idea of the bet and why there were a lack of updates). A few days ago the comments lead me to check the admin area of the blog and find that there were several hundred comments that were waiting in line to be moderated. I began going through these and accepting those that were real and deleting the spam.

One of the comments happened to be on the FAQ area asking a question and without even thinking about it, not only did I accept the comment, I also answered it in the main FAQ post. It didn’t take long for my wife and her Hello Kitty fanatic friends to notice that “I had worked on the site.” I protested saying that the spirit of the bet was that I would not put up new blog posts while my wife insisted that by answering the question, I had been working on the blog. After a lot of discussion and several nights spent on the couch in the Hello Kitty sleeping bag, we were able to come to an agreement:

I would be allowed to continue to write this blog, but I would have to tell Hello Kitty fanatics where they could get any item they wanted that have been listed on this blog — something that I have been steadfastly against up until this point. Since I already know there is going to be a huge demand to know where to get the Hello Kitty Converse sneakers which Hello Kitty fanatics are always whining about, you can find out all the information you need to know here. For any other items, you can leave a question in the comments and I will answer them there.

While it totally sucks that I have to do this, I felt it was the only option that would allow me to keep blogging without constant fighting (and me ever getting off of the couch and out of the Hello Kitty sleeping bag). So Hello Kitty fanatics, you may think you have won a small prize of being able to know where you can find Hello Kitty products courtesy of my wife, but I still plan to win the war…

FreeMicroloan.com – My New Blog Inspired By You

While my wife and I continue to negotiate the details of the future of this blog (thanks for all the comments — they seem to be softening up her position a bit, especially on the point that the blog is degrading), I have a huge favor to ask all the readers of this blog. I have created a new blog (FreeMicroloan.com) for the New Year which was inspired by all the comments that the readers left on the summer challenge to get rid of 200 Hello Kitty items by giving them to a local orphanage in Japan (can I once again thank all of your for rescuing me from what would have definitely been a much too Hello Kitty Hellish vacation to survive sane).

The new blog doesn’t pack the same bite as this blog does (It’s actually a positive blog — I bet some of you didn’t even believe that I had a kinder and gentler side), but I think it’s something that can remind and encourage all of us to make the world a little better. If you have a few minutes, please take a look and see if it’s a blog that you might find worthwhile visiting on a regular basis.

If you do, please feel free to sign-up for the rss feed, leave a comment and, most of all, spread the word to others that you know who you think would support such an endeavor. The goal is to fund a minimum of $10,000 in microloans this year, as well as getting a lot of people into the habit of doing small things daily that don’t take a lot of effort that help make the world a better place.

Whatever your opinion, please feel free to leave your impressions and suggestions on how to make it better here. I’m hoping that with your help we can start the blog off with a bang and fund the first microloan ($25) this week which would be a total of 250 comments, 100 rss readers or a combination of the two.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming of me living in Hello Kitty Hell…

The Future of Hello Kitty Hell

It seems that there are a few blog readers that felt their lives were so pathetic that it necessitated them to involve themselves in my life by way of my wife. They felt compelled to email my wife time and again until they had convinced her that this blog was much more than a way for me to innocently let off some steam about Hello Kitty. They insisted that this blog was degrading to the evil feline and to all Hello Kitty fanatics, especially my wife. My wife confronted me about this over the winter vacation and has demanded that I abandon this blog.

Of course, the Hello Kitty fanatics didn’t stop just there. They have convinced my wife that once I have abandoned the blog, that it should be reinvented as a Hello Kitty Heaven blog to even out the bad karma I have thrown Hello Kitty’s way these past couple of years.

Does anyone have any good suggestions on how we might resolve this current standoff that might keep me from spending all of 2009 on the couch in the Hello Kitty sleeping bag?
