The Horrors of Hello Kitty

[Fausto]

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE THAT MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE

If Paranoia Agent has taught us anything, its that cute, cuddily mascots are in fact evil and used as a means of distracting people from their real life problems. The most vile offender, then, is one of the most sickeningly sweet characters ever released: Hello Kitty. Make no mistake: the mouthless feline with the stubby arms and souless eyes is the source of all destruction and chaos in our society. Has your daughter ever pointed at a Hello Kitty doll and said "buy me that", and flew into a posessed rage when you didnt? Its because your child was under the creature's evil spell. Witches, good and bad, have kept cats as familiars for centuries. I assure you, Hello kitty is no less than the familiar of Satan himself. Before its too late, we must spay and euthanize this abomination onto the lord once and for all! SAVE YOURSELVES!!! DEATH TO HELLO KITTY!!!!!!

I've got a friend of mine whose 5 year old daughter is eat up with Hello Kitty.  He's pretty much numb to it at this point but I agree with your assessment of it.

There's a great moment in The Simpsons episode where they visit Japan.

You see the "Hello Kitty" factory and hear loud meowing coming from inside. There's the sound of machinery... black smoke belches from the chimney, and Hello Kitty merchandise slowly emerges from the building.
