Note: Sanrio legal counsel has contacted me because they realize that their fans are not bright enough to know what is an official Sanrio product and what is not. They didn’t feel that this would be a problem until the fans started contacting them directly, and they soon realized how painful it was to actually have to converse with a fanatic, and not even they had the patience to actually do this. As a result, they sent out a notice to me begging for me to take down my posts about guns that had the evil feline on them just so they didn’t have to ever correspond with the fanatics again. When I explained that they brought it on themselves, they pleaded that I spare them the torture that they inflict on me on a daily basis and asked me to post the following, Since I actually have a conscience, here is what they have to say:
Sanrio® has informed us that Sanrio is not involved in the manufacture or sale of Hello Kitty guns or weapons, and does not allow Hello Kitty® to be used to market guns or weapons. The items shown in this post are either digitally fabricated images or were custom-decorated without Sanrio’s permission. Sanrio alleges that creating false digitized images of Hello Kitty guns or weapons, or custom-decorating a real gun or weapon with Hello Kitty art, infringes Sanrio’s copyrights and trademarks, and may violate criminal laws.
And onto the original post…
Hello Kitty has obviously decided that there is money to be made as a military arms supplier with all the Hello Kitty firepower (Hello Kitty hand guns – Hello Kitty AR 15 – Hello Kitty assault rifle – Hello Kitty AK-47) that she has been assembling lately. The latest edition to this firepower onslaught is the Hello Kitty XM8 Rifle:
The evil feline not only wants to create everything in her image, she’s also intent on arming the entire world in her style (hey, where there is a buck to be made….) which pretty much where anyone living in Hello Kitty Hell thought she would be headed. It won’t be long before you see those “The Few, The Proud, The Marines” commercials with a “sponsored by Hello Kitty” in the corner.
With this latest entry, I even had to create a new category of Hello Kitty Guns – how damn scary is that? And just another indication of how Hello Kitty Hell continues to expand…
Sent in by Brittany who should suffer some intolerable torture for even considering for a split second that sending me this photo would be a good idea…
