Help Me Get Rid of 200 Hello Kitty Items: Comment!

One of the activities I undertake each year is collect toys for a local orphanage in Japan. While the orphanages here are pretty well run compared to other places in the world, there isn’t a whole lot of extra money for toys for the kids. So every year I go around and collect small toys such as bottle cap figures, key chains, phone straps and plush (stuffed animals) for the boys and girls.

In one of our recent discussions about this blog (my wife has learned to ignore it to a great extent, but when she does visit, I usually get an earful…) this past weekend, my wife commented that it’s always the same people who comment on this blog which means it’s only the same people who read this blog all the time. I argued that while there are a core group that tend to comment quite a bit, there are a lot of readers that just read and never comment (I should have added, “because everything is so ridiculous that it makes them speechless” but I was already treading on this ice of being sent to the couch in the Hello Kitty sleeping bag).

She gave me one of those laughs like “nice try, but I won’t believe it till I see it.” So I challenged that if I can get 1000 different people to comment on a post, would she be willing to donate some of her Hello Kitty stuff to the orphans? She agreed, but also stipulated that if I fail to reach 1000, I have to take her on a Hello Kitty trip this August and I’m not allowed to complain at all (that certainly would be nothing short of Hello Kitty Hell…)

So here’s the deal. For every 5 new people that comment (if it’s to say something bad about Hello Kitty, all the better, but even if it is something positive, I will forgive you since it’s for a good cause) my wife said that she will donate a Hello Kitty toy to the toy drive (even if if the total doesn’t reach 1000). 100 comments means 20 toys, 500 comments means 100 toys and 1000 comments means 200 toys. With your help, I have the opportunity to rid our house of 200 Hello Kitty items that will go to a good cause and my wife won’t even be able to complain about it. How great would that be?

Since I don’t want me wife accusing me of cheating, please don’t make multiple comments under different names (it’s too easy for her to figure it out). If you have never commented before, this is your chance to say something and help out a great cause. Please also take a few moments to spread the word and tell your friends. The thread needs 1000 comments from different people to donate the maximum number of toys — that’s less than half the current rss feed readers. Not only will I be deeply grateful in getting 200 products of the evil feline out of this house, it’s not often that you can bring a smile to the face of a child by simply leaving a short comment. Thank you in advance for all those that are willing to help.

Start commenting!!

Update: “Wow” is all I can say. When my wife and I made the deal, I had to reach 1000 comments before the end of the month. It took just over 2 days to accomplish it with all of your help. While I did find the number of Hello Kitty fanatics that read this blog a bit disturbing, I’ll suppress that horror knowing that this house will have 200 less Hello Kitty products crowded inside in the weeks to come and that there is no need to go on a Hello Kitty vacation this summer! That is certainly a great relief and something to celebrate!

Of course, I will photo document all the items with the evil feline that leave this house with great joy and pleasure as we pack them up and deliver them. Those will appear in future update posts about it. This is probably the biggest victory ever in Hello Kitty Hell and is certainly something that I could get used to!

Feel free to keep commenting. I’m not sure what the comments above 1000 will mean at this very moment, but I’ll figure out how to make those above 1000 help out as well for all those that took the time to stop by and help a good cause.

I’d just like to take another moment to thank everyone that took the time to comment to help out the kids. It’s very much appreciated.

  4. I’m all about this, and I’m so happy that your wife is willing to go along with it. I adore both hello kitty AND this blog, and I think it would be amazing for 200 kids to get a little bit of hello kitty happiness in their lives 🙂

    I read the blog for the amusement of your everyday HK Hell life. I’ve got a gf and a cousin that are addicted to HK but not as bad as some of the things that I’ve see here. Anyways… I hope that you reach the goal of 1000 comments as it is a very good cause (and to also show your wife how many people actually keep up with this website – HK fan or Non HK fan). Anyways… keep up the good work… I think…

  7. I am a huge Hello Kitty fan and my husband lives in Hello Kitty Hell, too. All I have to say about the donated toys is “pics or it didn’t happen!”

    Teasing. Tell your wife I admire her sacrifice. I also salute you, too for being so supportive of her Hello Kitty collection. Some people would argue that making a website complaining about being in Hello Kitty Hell is not at all supportive, but since you haven’t really denied her any Hello Kitty items, it can’t be that bad for her. 😉

  10. Lets get those toys outta the bathroom and into the kids hands. Try telling her she’s helping spread the good word of HK by donating some of her goods to the kids.

  11. Well, I can’t deny a guy the chance to make hell a little less hellish, and if that further means kids in need end up getting toys, then I’m all for that. Good luck!

  12. I started reading this blog after searching for the word “tattoo” in google images and I think the Hello Kitty tattoo on a dog came up. I’m asian and was part of mini Sanrio craze in middle school, but I actually until I read this had no idea that people were so Hello Kitty cultish. And I thought Pokemon was bad.

    Anyway hello! Children are allowed to like Hello Kitty so send them toys!

    You should still take her on that trip though.

KEEP IT UP!

  19. Wow. She’s willing to donate toys and you get less crap in the house with an affirmation that people read this site. Also, orphans get toys.

    A totally mutually beneficial situation.

    Just include that horrible ukelele and the bag so she can’t send you to her version of the doghouse.

  25. Another longtime lurker, first time comment-er. I have a love/hate relationship with Hello Kitty– I like certain things, but hate all the crazy weird things that have Hello Kitty attached to it. I sold most of my Hello Kitty things but I admit I do have one last Hello Kitty keychain left that I can’t seem to part with…

    I applaud your generous nature and your wife’s cunning “sacrifice”. Yes, that’s sarcasm quotes. You are married to one smart cookie.

    Because, unless you included a stipulation forbidding it, she will now have room for 200 NEW Hello Kitty items.

    My condolences,

  30. I LOVE this site. I am a huge HK fan and love to learn about HK facts and toys, etc that are posted here. I am sorry that you don’t enjoy HK as much as your wife. My husband is very supportive of my habit but I don’t indulge too much.

    Ironically, we have several kitties that are like the HK characters, so I live HK every day. Our flamepoint Siamese looks JUST like HK. Napolean is a burmese who looks like Chococat. And our sphynx is just like Nyago.

    So, tell your wife that if she were a true fan, she would have a HK cat herself!

    She should do that instead of the trip. Memories made every day….

  31. I always kind of thought you made up the devotion your wife has to hello kitty and it was just a good story to use to make a good blog. If you really do live in a house full of hello kitty stuff I am sorry for you. However I do love hello kitty and just yesterday was stoked to find a bag of hello kitty candy at my local market in Alabama.

  39. This is my first comment! I like Hello Kitty but would hate to live in Hello Kitty Hell.

    I got extremely turned off by hello kitty when I paid $11 for a frckn pen that ran out of ink after ONE SENTENCE. The smarties and the Sanrio store don’t do refunds. T_T

    Nevertheless, I find some of the school supplies adorable! 😀

  40. Like your wife, I am a Hello Kitty Collector. However, I agreed with my husband that I would contain it to one room of the house. I don’t think I have nearly as much stuff as your wife.
    I will admit some of the things that people come up with to put Hello Kitty on, are pretty ridiculous!

    I use to read your blog often and its incredible that lot of diferent Hello kitty stuff… And so much people with tatoos!!!

  46. Hi. In response to your wife, I check Hello Kitty hell every Sunday. It’s part of my routine, but I rarely comment because alot of times, I’m left speechless. This, however, is a very good cause. I wish you luck with this and hope for your sake you don’t have to go on the trip, or for that matter, the sleeping bag. Hope everything goes as you planned!

    Reply
  47. I found this blog a couple weeks ago, never commented before this.

    Evicting that evil feline from your house is a good cause, and doubly so if it’s to donate to kids. I wish you the best of luck!

  48. Everyone seems to win in this situation–you get rid of a few HK items, the kids get toys. Good luck. And if things don’t work out, I’ll gladly go on the trip with Mrs. HKHell.

  49. I have been reading your site for a while now but I can’t remember commenting before. The extent that the feline has spread amuses me since I don’t have to deal with it on a daily basis. I cannot imagine what its like living with a Hello Kitty fanatic…

    Good luck reaching 1k.

  50. Man, you agreed to an arrangement that might end in you taking the Hello Kitty Vacation? You should have gotten a better deal than giving away 200 items, because that will just be an excuse to replace them with 400 new items…

  51. I read this via RSS feed so I don’t even think about commenting. So sorry. And I gain such joy from your misery…er, I mean blog. I can’t imagine you being forced to go on a Hello Kitty trip—no one’s karma could be that bad. Tell your wife needs to stop stalling and start thinning the Kitty herd—the orphans are as good an excuse as any.

  52. I don’t believe I’ve ever commented – I’m always just stunned at what you find. I’m concerned though, that donating Hello Kitty toys to orphans will get them hooked on her. Maybe not.

  53. it is a good cause so I decided to comment. My boyfriend hates how much I love hello kitty and he goes to this website often to show me crazy hello kitty crap as he says. I decided it’s not a bad website and join in the fun. Hello kitty rock and I think u love it as much as ur wife does.

  56. Oh gracious. I’m also a loyal reader through RSS, and rarely comment on blogs for people I don’t know in real life. But if it helps you get out of Hello Kitty hell, even a little bit, I’m happy to comment.

  59. I love HK, but have the good sense to understand that I don’t have the space for a large collection and my husband does not share my enthusiasm. I keep my collection to things I can use, like my microwave, toaster, toaster oven, juicer and coffee maker. Other things – like purses, dolls, and shoe charms – are gifts, so I can’t say no. I am allowed one bookcase to store those gifts in. If they don’t fit I have to give them away or sell them. To be fair, the same rules apply to my husband and his collection of video game figurines. This website is fun to visit, and I wish I could see all of the interesting HK things in person, but know owning them would spoil the fun.

    Reply
  60. Although I own HK jello molds, I don’t really understand Hello Kitty fanaticism. Is it acquiring Hello Kitty items that gives the rush, or owning them? If it’s the former, maybe this could be a new tradition for you and your wife: She can buy all the HK stuff she wants, then you donate it to the orphanage. Really, Hello Kitty is primarily for children (sex toys excluded; their made by contractors, not Sanrio itself), and an adult hoarding children’s toys while real kids do without is a little Scrooge-ish.

    P.S. The jello molds are perfect for both the HK fan and detractor. On one hand, they’re so cute! On the other, you get to gouge at her slimy head with a spoon!

    Reply
  61. It’s been a little while since I’ve left a comment, but I visit every day.
    I think you should up the ante a bit. If you reach your goal of 1,000 (and there’s little doubt in my mind that you will), that you give your wife a second chance for a HK vacation IF she doubles her donation (and you retain the right to complain without retribution).
    And oh yeah…kudos for using your blog for such a great cause!

  62. I’m glad that you’ll be getting rid of HK items, though I feel sorry for the kids who get them. 🙂 But I’m sure your wife will quickly replace the toys with new HK items.

  64. Normally, I just stare with horrid fascination at all the items that show up on this blog. This is a good cause, so I post.

    Have you thought about fighting merch with merch? You could start filling up the house with Harley-Davidson merch, and then your wife could have a blog titled “Harley-Davidson Hell”, and we’d all laugh.

  75. I have been a consistent visitor to this site for quite some time. I enjoy looking at all of the Hello Kitty items, and find that they run the spectrum from useless yet cute to completely ridiculous. I also understand that it is natural for men to avoid being near Hello Kitty items. For example, I will never forget the look of terror and disgust on my male colleague’s face when no other pen was available and he was forced to use my Hello Kitty pen. Good luck reaching 1000 comments!

  76. Hello, I’ve been reading your blog for some time, but never felt the need to comment till now. Unfortunately I’m one of the people who wishes you would let us know where to get the HK stuff. Funny enough I still probably wouldn’t buy it. It’s enough to let me know it’s really there if I should decide to buy it. However, my love of not wasting money extends pass my love of Hello Kitty. Good luck with the toy drive.

  78. I feel that it is my duty in the name of all things masculine to help you strike back at the malevolent hello kitty!

    When we were kids we’d buy any sort of crap just because they had our favourite cartoon character on. But then we grew up and realised that this was essentially preying on the weak.

    I read your blog because I’m not only fascinated that such crap exists, but also that there is also a market for it. Basically car crash TV.

I love HK & even though you don’t divulge where we can get some of the unique items that are featured here, at least us fans know these things are out there. *YAY!*for Hello Kitty & *YAY!* that you & your wife are doing such a great thing for these kids. =)

  97. I’ve been reading your blog for ages (a diehard Kitty fan that would put your wife to shame), but have never commented. This post is reason enough!

  98. Yes, Hello Kitty can be annoying but have you seen the sad state of US cartoons lately? And Badtz-Maru is kind of a bad-ass.

  99. I like Hello Kitty, but not as much as I love your website. I realize the insanity of Hello Kitty “massagers” (that’s just gross) and all the other Hello Kitty nonsense.
    Good luck with reaching your 1000 unique readers.

  101. you know, I thought hello kitty was cute until I read your blog. Now it makes me want to hurl. I feel for you in your hell!

  102. I just stumbled across your site this afternoon and thought I would chip in. The scary thing is that I was searching for “love hotel” because in my American naivete I had no idea what they were, and they were mentioned in an article I was reading. I am both disturbed and amused by what I found here.

    I’m not really a Hello Kitty fan, but I did opt for the Hello Kitty design ATM card on our secondary checking account because my husband sent me to the bank while he stayed home and played City of Heroes on double XP weekend. I felt it was a fitting punishment.

    Good luck!

  106. Hi
    I actually love hello kitty and my husband lives in HK hell as well. But donating toys is a great cause and I am sure the kids in Japan will love the Hello Kitty stuff : )

  107. I really hope you hit your mark and get all that crap out of your house. ive been reading your blog for over a year now and dont really comment cause well… all this hello kitty crap kinda makes me throw up in my mouth a little when i read it..
    if i were you i would give the sleeping bag to the kids.. that way you dont have to sleep in it 😉

    Reply
  108. Well at first I wondered what evils could the poor orphans have committed to deserve a piece of Hello Kitty Hell so young?

    But, since obviously Hello Kitty has cold heartedly decided that she wouldn’t get enough monetary returns from simple charity, I think you are on a on a right track.

    Besides kids break stuff, so perhaps in a couple of years there would be a lot fewer of those donated Hello Kitty items left to haunt the living (and, disturbingly, even in graveyard you can’t get away from Hello Kitty). A kind of happy ending.

    Reply
  109. Hmm, I read this blog daily, but just about never commented. Yay for lurkers.
    I rather like HK, and can’t really say I’m living in her Hell, but I like seeing the ridiculous stuff people have and how obsessive they are.

    ANYWAY,
    Heres my contribution.

  110. I’m torn. If I post, that gets the toys out of your house and to a good cause.

    On the other hand, if I post then it spreads the Hello Kitty disease further into the hearts of the most vulnerable.

    What to do?

    Oh, wait. Damn!

  111. Good Luck on hitting 1000! I read your blog all the time, and it’s true I think I’ve only commented twice before, but I am an avid reader. Because I love HK and I love to hate her too!

  114. Long time reader (& Hello Kitty lover!)/First time commenter

    I love this blog page even though it has to do with hating on the character that I love and am passionate about. I have a small collection of Hello Kitty stuff, but according to my boyfriend, it’s way too much (even though alot of it came from him 🙂 ). When I told him about this blog page, I told him it could be worse and he could be in real HKH like this guy….and when he found out that his favorite porn star Tera Patrick is a HUGE Hello Kitty fan, he really shut up! WHoa, getting off subject….anyways, I hope my commenting helps you get to your goals….and keep up the HK hating…it only encourages me to find all this new HK stuff 🙂 !

  120. Dear Mrs. HKH,

    Please give some of your toys to the orphans! Think of how much joy and love Hello Kitty will bring to those less fortunate than you! (They certainly are unfortunate if they don’t have any Hello Kitty!)

  123. I actually read HK Hell religiously and while I love HK I send it to my best guy friends when I find something extreme that they would find repulsive. I have commented in the past but no one ever says anything about them so I stopped. So I hope the orphans like their new toys. :]

    You know what, maybe she’ll just buy another 200 and give those away instead of the ones she have! hehe…

  145. This is a very creative compromise for you two. If only my father-in-law had thought of this for his second wife and her obsession with Longaberger baskets… 😉 I hope that you’re able to get the thousand comments, since I agree that the Hello Kitty is just so disgustingly cutesy-Evil that it should be eradicated. But then again, I probably shouldn’t talk, since my husband has forbidden me from bringing any more wolf pictures/statues/figurines into our home. Heh. ;p

  171. I have been reading this blog for quite a while now, but I have remained one of your invisible readers. This is a nice opportunity to “come out of the closet”. 😉

    I have to admit that I like Hello Kitty and that I own a few items with her image. But as long as my boyfriend keeps giving me more Hello Kitty items, I’m assuming I’m not pushing him into Hello Kitty Hell. He’s going voluntarily! XD I even convinced him to post here so that more toys will be donated to charity.

    I like this blog because it reminds me of how ridiculous I am sometimes, drooling over children’s toys. Your humour is excellent and I feel genuinely sorry for your involuntary stay in Hello Kitty Hell. Please continue to write and find your way out!

    I’m only worried about one little thing: what effect will 200 Hello Kitty toys have on innocent children? How many obsessed females who will force their husbands down Hello Kitty Hell will it create? Let’s hope those children will be sensible enough to see what those toys really are: manifestations an evil feline plotting world domination.

  172. I believe my comment is supposed to go here? 😛

    I have been reading some of your blogs my girlfriend showed me and I genuinely feel sorry for the Hell you have to go through. When I gave my girlfriend a Hello Kitty watch for her last birthday, I didn’t think of the(future) Hell I might be pushing myself in. So from this day on, no more Hello Kitty for her. =3

    … *girlfriend giving him the angry look*

    On second thought, maybe a little something every now and then won’t be so bad… ^^;

  184. I’ve posted to only a couple items, so your wife’s wrong about people like me not existing.

    By the way, you have my full sympathy; I started as neutral to Hello Kitty, but some of the things you’ve shown have had me staring in utter disbelief.

    The one thing that this blog has shown is that you really love your wife. Love should always be encouraged.

    I hope she leaves you at least one room totally free of HK. Everyone deserves an area that’s theirs alone, with only the stuff they really like in it. Not to say you can’t have your wife in there, of course. 🙂 After all, if you like, say, fishing, she shouldn’t have to put up with fishing tackle, stuffed bass and trophies, and such all across her vanity table.

    Just my thought. Good luck to you both. Last comment: I really appreciate that she’s willing to donate some of her beloved items to those less fortunate. That shows a truly loving heart on her part; I’m sure you cherish it, as well as her. (And lest the evil-minded think I mean you love her only because she’s willing to get rid of some of the HK items, that’s not what I mean at all.)

Never once commented because I figured anything I might have to say would be unwelcome, being a Hello Kitty lover and all, but the blog definitely entertains me greatly. While I love Hello Kitty immensely, I also see the humor in the obsession for anyone on the “outside.”

    Now, let me just be clear, I’m not posting this to “make” your wife get rid of stuff. I’m posting it to help some underprivileged kids who don’t have any Hello Kitty stuff at all to get some stuff!

  203. I haven’t been commenting as frequently as I used to, but I’ll still support a good cause! I kind of did the same thing. I donated two garbage bags full of Hello Kitty stuff to my brother’s friend’s daughter who has cerebal palsy. She really liked it of course, plus all the stuff I gave her was way too childish for me anyways and I shouldn’t have bought it in the first place. Anyways, good luck, and I hope you make it to 1000!

  205. Hehe…what makes you think she’s going to use toys she already has. Fanatics do not part with thier treasured items. Unless she’s making room for bigger toys.

  206. hi. i read this blog pretty regularly, and Hello Kitty’s eyes scare me with thier ability to bore through walls and the backs of skulls.

  207. Hi! This is my first time commenting on HKH although I’ve been reading for awhile now. I’m a Hello Kitty collector — nowhere near as big of a fan as your wife. I like having hard to find items like things from Vivitix in China, not the generic things like letter sets, etc. I find in America.

  213. For once I agree with Darlene on something. The orphans should get toys, but i think your wife’s sacrifice should be praised in the form of a cruise. Just think, your house will be less of a HKH, all you have to endure is a boat for a few days =)

    I have been visiting your Web site regularly for close to a year, but have never written. I am a Hello Kitty fan, but also see the silliness of it. Your musings are very entertaining, and sometimes make me laugh out loud.

    Good luck with the toy drive!

  223. I am throughly entertained with your blog. I get a little excited when I see there are unread entries from your blog in my RSS reader. Unfortunately, RSS means I don’t venture onto your site as often as I should… and hopefully this boosts the number of people who do read your site and appreciate all that you do.

    Reply
  224. First time commentor… I think it’s great that she is willing to donate so much hello kitty stuff. I hope you reach the 1,000 mark!
    Although you do realize that once she donates stuff it probably means that she will have to buy all new stuff to make up for the lack of hello kitty…
    Or that you will spend even more money trying to get some key items she may miss afterwards. That’s the worst possible outcome.
    Maybe she will find she does not miss/need those things. But I really think it’s great that orphan children will be enjoying some gifts from you guys. I donate things now and again, I would probably have a hard time parting with 200 items all at once!
    Sorry, no HK bashing from me. I love HK, we have the same birthday! (and yea I kno…she doesn’t REALLY have a birthday, creation day, whatever–we are one in the same)

    (:
    even though you complain about HK all the time this site always brings a smile to my face. and also makes me want to move to japan!!!!

I’ve been a fan since last year, I have your Feed and always check for new updates… but I’ve never commented before and I guess this is as good a time as any, not only because you’ll have less HK things, or the smile it’ll bring… but the fact that you won’t have to go to any HK vacations any time soon.

  229. This will be my first comment but I have wanted to for awhile. I am a recovering Hello kitty addict. I started back in 1976 and continued till 2002.
    I no longer spend money on Hello Kitty merchandise but up until this time have kept my near 30 year collection in boxes in the garage.
    This post has inspired me to venture out there and make the first step toward letting go of the last remnants of a frightening and expensive addiction.
    But do you think it’s right to pass on this addiction to innocent children or should the whole lot be burnt in a bonfire?
    I guess I’ll give it all to the kiddies. They’re not my children after all!
    Bless you for your efforts and keep fighting the good fight!

  232. This is quite possibly the funniest/oddest charity I’ve ever participated in! I’m glad to help both a child in need AND a suffering hello-kitty-lover’s husband. I’m not a “hello kitty hater,” but I do live with a mother who is OBSESSED with the color purple (who knew they made garden hoses, salt&pepper shakers, & even electric socket extension thingies in purple? I DID. because we have them.)…so I can sympathize a bit 🙂

Think of it this way…donating is a double positive because other kiddies get to enjoy HK and your husband gets at least a little breathing room.

    I throw my support to this selfless endeavor but I think that your wife should get to go to her dream Hello Kitty trip. After all, she’s getting the short end of the deal (despite the very noble intentions)- you benefit from her sacrifice and she loses some of her collection. Either way, you win.

    I hope to help relieve you of some of the kitty clutter in your house, and donating to kids is a great cause. Kudos to your wife as well for generously offering to give away her things. And in light of that, regardless of if you reach the 1000 or not (and it looks like you will), you should take her on the kitty trip anyway. Then she can easily replenish the 200 items she had to give away. 🙂

  260. I am not sure if I have left a comment before but even if I did, it would have been a long time ago. I am happy to be part of this “event”. Moreover, I do think it is much better if all the HK stuff that your wife has will go to an orphanage rather than ending up in the trash can or some hidden corner of your house. So, here’s my comment and I will let my friends know of this event and ask them to leave a comment.

    Last but not least, Mr. Kitty Hell, I have been reading your blog for quite a while not and do enjoy your blog a lot, keep the good work up and… hang in there!

  261. As a big fan of your Hello Kitty Hell website, and always flabbergasted at the terrible products bearing the Hello Kitty face, I wish you luck in getting to 1000 signatures. On one hand, it would be great for the orphans but on the other hand, it is spreading the evil Hello Kitty message to a much wider, more vulnerable audience. Cheers and keep up the good work.

Good luck, I hope that you reach 1000 comments.

  310. Hi,
    I honestly never commented before but I visit your website very often 🙂 – I am a HK-Fan but I still love reading your stories because they remind me of the Hello Kitty Hell my boyfriend has to live in every day – although your wife seems to be “a little” more extreme 😉
    Keep on doing what you do – it’s great!

  312. I have been an RSS lurker for about a month now. I have to admit that I have a small liking for all things obscure and Hello Kitty, but a large majority of her fans are completely crazy. Darth Kitty tattoos? I mean, really. Your rants never cease to amuse me. I hope you get rid of even more than 200 HK items, children will love them.

  321. Good luck getting rid of all the Hello Kitty crap. I know u hate it with a passion. In my opinion the evil feline is out for world domination and will stop at nothing until it happens. I have been reading your site for about 2 years and absolutely love it. Oh, and my boyfriend hates this site with a passion because of u, I have somewhat gotten into Hello Kitty with the Nintendo DS case, ringtone, wallpaper, and video games. Good luck getting rid of everything!

  322. I love this website. When I was a little girl, I loved HelloKitty a great deal. Now that I’m in my 30s, I have 2 or 3 HK items that I love. However, the amount of ridiculous crap that Sanrio and its affiliates come up with to slap that cartoon cat upon is mind-boggling.

    Good Luck getting rid of the stuff!

Hopefully you reach the 1000 so you don’t have to endure that hell of a trip 🙂

    I read every day, but this is only my second post.

    I love HK and my husband is pretty supportive, but I just horrified him with the thought of HK racing leathers.

  338. Ok, so I love HK but when a friend linked me to your blog I found it absolutely hilarious. Probably because me and my husband are similar to you and your wife. I love HK and everything cute (disneyland etc.) and he often gets aggravated with my level of cute/pinkness. Also, my friends constantly send me pics of the new weird HK thing they’ve found on the web. so I suppose it was only a matter of time until I found this blog.

    I agree w/Jaime that it WOULD be really funny to see you go to puroland, but toys for kids usually takes precedence. Plus, that’s just room for MORE NEW HK stuff! 😀 I think your wife wins either way.

  341. Dear Sir,

    I came upon this from “1000 times No” and bring greetings from its author. I feel for you, stranger! Cute overload should be in DSM IV, somewhere along with PTSD. (Not that I have first-hand experience of PTSD, just run-of-the-mill stress…)

    Reply
  344. My contribution to the comment cause will be the story of why I hate Hello Kitty.

    See, I spent some time living in Indonesia growing up and that was where I first encountered Hello Kitty products. I admit I thought the basic idea was cute, even if some of the execution was kind of annoying. Or at least, I thought so at first.

    Then I realized they were *everywhere*. On notebooks, pencils, pens, watches, alarm clocks, pillows, cars, bobbles, stickers, scrapbooks, greeting cards, wallpapers, tee-shirts, pants, shoes, lamps, and televisions. And there were about fifty-thousand different Hello Kitty characters (including a very memorable Hello Kitty vampire I saw somewhere), all of which were so sickeningly cute that the attraction faded very quickly.

    Naturally, being innundated with so much Hello Kitty around me, I couldn’t avoid owning some of it, and I discovered that pretty much every Hello Kitty item available was marketed at incredibly sub-standard quality (sub-standard even for the area of Indonesia in which I lived) to whatever non-Hello Kitty counterpart it might have had.

    So, I hate Hello Kitty. And I avoid it wherever I can. Thankfully, I don’t live in a Hello Kitty Hell of any description, but I used to, so I sympathize. 🙂

  358. Much as I love Hello Kitty, I generally side with you when it comes to your having to deal with it (I have a lot of fandoms, but I don’t force them on my friends who aren’t also into Hello Kitty/Lord of the Rings/videogame music/D&D/whatever.)

    I’d just like to point out that this means Darlene doesn’t know what she’s talking about–your wife started selling Hello Kitty stuff as a way to make some extra income, so you’re obviously kinda short on cash, but you still spend time helping out needy kids. Awesome.

    And if I can help out just by commenting, all the more awesome.

  359. this has got to be some kind of trick.
    seriously, what do you do for a living that allows your “wife” to purchase all this stuff?
    second, if there really is an orphanage where these apparent items will be sent, your wife would be incredibly mean and selfish to keep said items to herself just cause your personal blog can’t bring in enough comments.

You’re already living in Hello Kitty Hell, and I’m not sure, but I think forcing someone to go on a Hello Kitty themed vacation likely violates some sort of UN dictate about cruel and unusual punishment.

    I just know you’re going to get your 1000 signatures, so be sure and post pictures of the toys and the kids at Christmas time. It’s nice to know that just commenting will insure some kid gets a nice Christmas present and helps preserve your sanity at the same time.

If my sister [the one with the Hello Kitty obsession in my family] told me that I had to go on a Hello Kitty vacation, I would have smacked her upside the head and told her that she lost her mind if she thought I was ever going to do that. I am now very thankful that her love of Hello Kitty does not go as far as your wife does. I hope you get all the comment you need.

  411. You should add a stipulation that she NOT replace these items with new ones. If she feels the overwhelming need to purchase HK items, then let her ….. as long as they go straight to someone who needs them, and not someone who has an unusual obsession with them.

Additionally, I’m pretty sure they have site stats that tell them what IP, etc. etc., so Mrs. Hello Kitty Abnormal Psych, there will be two posts for my particular IP address…. myself, and my daughter, and yes that does count as TWO different people.

  420. Hello Kitty Hell amuses me (I read often but never comment, I hold no real opinion on hello kitty, but the number of items out there is rather terrifying), toys for needy kids is always a good cause, and and heck if a few words can help, well, I’m commenting!

  421. I might as well comment for the orphans, but darlene, if I were you I would shut the hell up!!!!!

    Hope you reach your goal.

  425. I’ve gotten linked here a couple times from various places, and this site never fails to make me lol or go O_o. Hello Kitty can be cute sometimes in moderation, but this is extreme. Glad to see some of it will be going to a good cause.
    Keep us updated on how this goes. ;3

  426. I’m supporting the good cause although I don’t like your ass. I think it’s hella screwed up you put me on blast and used pictures.

    Can’t always win I suppose.

  427. I cannot even begin to believe your wife truly has that much Hello Kitty stuff! Any luck she will donate some to me?? :p

    Almost 1000! Wife, you better start packing those 200 Hello Kitty items!

  428. I am with ya bro to bad the toys are being donated to charity so that some poor child will have to suffer the terror which we know as hellnokitty ahhhhhhh !

  429. That’s great that your wife’s willing to go along with it! I’m a longtime lurker of this site, but I’ll comment now for the orphans (but moreso to put a hopefully big dent in your hello kitty hell :D)
    Downside: by donating hello kitty toys, you might end up spawning a whole new generation of hello kitty obsessed children…. scary thought

  430. i wonder what would happen when you win.
    and also she has like 2 of everything so why doesnt she just give it up 0_0

  431. Now that I’m taking my medication I can see that attacking the blogger’s masculinity is just my way of trying to feel superior.

    Focussing my life around Hello Kitty and projecting rigid gender roles have just been my dysfunctional way of coping with the HK female circumcision kit that was used on me. I guess my fascination is just a form of Stockholm Syndrome.

    To all that I insulted: mea culpa.

    If you read me posting insipid judgemental drivel again, just remind me to take my meds and to stop hiding behind the defense of mental illness.

  432. those japanese kids are gonna have some really cute toys, lol kinda makes me wish i could be a japanese orphan. just keep in mind whatever she gives away will have to be replaced with something that could be much worse….like say she gives away a hello kitty plushie…it could be replaced with hello kitty pajamas for you or hello kitty boxers

  446. Yes, I read the blog and have commented on some blogs but not all. What can you say about a HK zombie cake? Or the countless dumb tats of HK? It amazes me that you can find so much crap of HK!
    Once wife starts giving away HK, I hope you get pictures, I want to see the horde.

  447. I’m doing this more for you than the orphans. And I love HK [but er…condoms and racing leathers = a bit much]. I’ve been reading for over a year, I figure its about time I said something. Happy purging.

  448. Mr HKH, what a good idea! (And kudos for doing the toy drive every year, whether or not HK items are involved.)

    Mrs HKH, kudos to you for being such a good sport about this. Think of it as potentially creating more HK devotees in the kids who receive your HK items!

  454. Its seems kinda ironic that your sending 200 items to an orphange(your almost at 1000 comments!!) and turning the orphange into a hello kitty hell (although of course it will still be nothing compared to your house!!) But then again kids do like toys and it might be a huge orphange!!

    Reply
  455. Wow. I guess your wife is learning the power of the “Intertubes”… I’ve read this site maybe three times in my life previously, but a friend sent an email saying it’s for a good (though unusual) cause. 🙂

    Reply
  456. Will this sudden boost in comments result in any increase in income?? If so, I think that money should go to the orphans as well.

    My wife is Korean, and by the standards of this website, I would say a very mild HK fanatic. I found your site while looking for a Hello Kitty wedding cake topper (you’ll be happy to know, you were of no help). I don’t mind the HK stuff as long as it serves some purpose, but I do reserve the right to poke in the eyes any HK that comes within arm’s reach.

    Reply
  457. Just like to say that I’m one of the masses that visits the blog, but don’t comment. It’ll be a shame that your wife will lose her Hello Kitty toys, but it’s for a good cause (for you and the kids)

  458. I enjoy your blog because it reminds me not to get overboard with the Hello Kitty stuff. I think it is great to donate toys to children instead of keeping them for adults.

    Reply
  459. I haven’t read any of your other blogs, my friend sent me an email about it. I believe that if your wife has enough HK stuff to not miss 200 items it’s a bit on the crazy side. I would love to see 200 japanese orphans profit from your wife’s generosity. Cheers

  460. commenting! doing it for the kids =)
    and a little for your sanity! :O
    Maybe wifey will give 200 or more anyway bc it’s for a good cause? lol

  461. Mostly I’m a lurker. I’ve commented 3 times. Love the site. My daughter loves Hello Kitty but even she thinks some stuff is rediculous.

  462. Hi, just to offer my solidarity, Hello Kitty is indeed crap. But there are many other crappy fashion/kid stuff, like Power Rangers, Dragonball, etc. You know, when I think about Kitty, it reminds me of another character: Betty Boop. Now that was much better. Oh, Betty – there’s something nostalgic about her, isnt there? Cheers from Portugal, Rui

    So be careful, okay?

  469. So, I totally love Hello Kitty. I’m not the avid collector that your wife is or anything, but I do think she’s adorable. But I love the idea of your wife donating toys to the orphanage!

    BTW – I read your blog all the time.

    Reply
  470. I’m glad you reached your goal! Also I’m glad that yes, even though it IS Hello Kitty, it’s going to kids in need, and basically to what Hello Kitty is meant for: little kids to destroy them. >:D

    You should videotape them being sent off, I’d like to see the look on your’s and your wife’s faces.

    Reply
  471. I would like to suggest that the comments after 1000 should mean hello kitty crap donated to a cat shelter rescue so they can sell them to benefit some cats in need.

    After all, some live in kitty hell, too.

    Also thanks for this awesome and entertaining blog 🙂

  475. I am all for this, and you guys rock for doing such a noble thing. I just feel terrible for your wife, cause I can’t imagine parting with 200 of my hello kitty items ): If I were her, I would probably buy 200 new HK things, that they could have! I know I certainly wouldn’t part with my hello kitty diamond engagement ring!!! Again, good for you both! Keep the laughs coming!

  476. I love Hello Kitty but I’m not insane. While there are a lot of things on your blog that I would love to know where to purchase the majority is just plain materialist insanity. But in the end I’m still a Hello Kitty girl.

  481. I must admit being a fan of Hello Kitty growing up. I had the Hello Kitty dollhouse, shoes, dresses, bag, mechanical pencil cases. Occasionally, I still feel the need to pick up an item or two since they have marketed the pink feline unto more “mature” items like USB drives. Reading your blog keeps me grounded! Hehehe. Keep it up!

  483. I have just discovered your blog, and I am very much NOT a Hello Kitty fan. So I will post a comment, even though you have already exceeded your goal of 1000 comments from different people. After all, it’s for a good cause, both for the orphans and for you. I would imagine that you do with the excess comments will be for you to negotiate with your wife. Good luck!

    Reply
  484. Well, at least you get rid of the Hello Kitty stuff… but I still feel bad for the kids in Japan who have to grow up with it. But I guess it’s impossible not to grow up with Hello Kitty if you live in Japan. Even the world’s coolest bass player, Reita, posed on a picture with a gigant Hello Kitty-thingie. It made me cry.

  489. I think he failed to see a flaw in his logic.
    By donating 200 Hello Kitty toys from his house, he will see a brief relief. But now kids in orhanages will grow up to be Hello Kitty fanatics and buy more HK stuffs from his wife. After a brief relief, he will see more HK inventories in his house. The only hope is either HK is outdated by then or Human race is doomed by Global warming or war. Don’t forget kids grow up very quickly …

  506. im happy that you’re doing this for a good cause =). at first, i personally had no problem with hello kitty. when i was younger, i thought the plushies were cute and i bought one at one point in time. but then, i started seeing stuff everywhere and it got insane. at normal stores too! not hello kitty stores or specialty stores…places like walmart and the mall…EVERYWHERE!!! its insane!!! i am sick of seeing the kitty face plastered on everything, although it was adorable once.

    Reply
  507. The cause is worth it! I only post once in awhile, but i think that spreading joy to needy children is something i can’t pass up! Even if the toys are hello kitty, a little girl who doesn’t have any toys will treasure it with all her heart!

  508. I know you’ve reached your goal of 1000 comments, but just wanted to say I’ve read the blog since ’06 and always leave laughing for hours or horrified. The latter seems to occur more often these days..

    But it’s really wonderful what you and your wife are doing. Think I should do the same with MY Hello Kitty stuff.
    I used to be a HK junky, but now I’m mostly clean. I probably won’t hate her as much as you do, but I’m not keen on how Sanrio has sold her face to so many ridiculous companies.

    I think I’m the 1100th commentor. Hope it will help you rid of more HK stuff XD

  509. Just found your site! I do like HK (in moderation…), but your blog is VERY funny. My husband would quickly join your anti-fan site. And I also commend your wife’s willingness to let go of hundreds of HK items. If she loves HK that much, it will be a hard thing to do, bet or no bet involved. I’ll keep checking your blog; it’s so much fun!

  519. Well, here is another person who reads your blog but does not comment… for the record, I am a fan of the feline – I am in the Army and there isn’t a person in my unit who doesn’t know about my bright pink HK coffee pot sitting on my desk. It travels with me – it has been to training missions, in the field, and is now in Kuwait with me! Although, I think that some of the things on your blog are a bit farther than I would go… I keep my house boyfriend-friendly and would never humiliate him with the kitty (he loves me enough to tolerate the Sanrio store on the rare occasion we are in a city with one), and I won’t wear the one pair of HK panties I own around him for fear that they would be a major turn-off (and from reading your blog I see that I was wise in that decision! ).

    Anyway, keep up the lovely blog. You are so obviously in love with your wife it is wonderful to see, even though you are in a HK Hell… she is one lucky lady! Hopefully you two will eventually reach a place of HK compromise. (^_^)

  522. I have never been fanatical about any crazes but I have always loved pink and ever since the first hello kitty object I bought (electric toothbrush), I am addicted. She’s so cute and pink!!!! I must admit, there is so much merchandise out there and the styles are so diversified. My fav thing is my hello kitty coloring book.
    I have only recently stumbled onto hello kitty hell but I think it’s a hoot. I also was pleased to dee how many other ppl love the humor, never make themselves known, but bother to comment for the good cause. Truly shows the hearts of hello kitty fans and the ppl who are surrounded by them. 🙂

  523. I am a Hello Kitty fan that is why I don’t feel the need to add negative comments all the time. However, there are several instances on this site where I have seen people go way overboard. I hope the children enjoy their toys and just for the record she will probably just replace her Hello Kitty stuff with more. It’s just how things go.

    I find it wonderful that you did this, if even to discover the people like us who love your site but you never know. It is a very nice thing for you to donate all those items and I hope you are an inspiration for everyone to help your fellow humans.

    Yes, I am your typical Hello Kitty fanatic, though I lean more toward the h.naoto and gothic side.

    Keep up the good work, I love the site!!

  528. congrats on hitting 1000 comments! i’m a little late, but i had to comment on the marvelous bet you and your wife made. i’m quite glad that some kids will be enjoying lovely hello kitty toys, thanks to your wife and 1000 comments left by your readers.

  529. Be sure none of those kids get one of those hello Kitty “vibrators” …

    Also, first time comment. Funny blog. Massmarketing crappy products with a silly kitty face on it fails.

  530. You poor man… you have my sincere sympathy and appreciation that it is you, not me, that has to bear with this all.

    Thanks for your blog and let’s see if your wife will donate more than 200 items now!

  531. My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves HK. Since I love her I get her HK stuff sometimes. Your website reigns me in, though, and has made me take many things out of the shopping cart. I don’t want her future husband to accuse me of starting an obsession…

  532. I made a google search of “hello kitty condoms” after i heard about the unbelievable item on NPR. “nah…” kept going through my mind because i couldn’t honestly believe that they would make sure a horrible thing. I know that if i saw that on any guy i would laugh my smart little noggin off.
    I can’t believe the damn thing exists….

  533. aww man i can’t believe i missed the chance to help you reach your goal of 1000 comments! oh well here’s an extra one, to see where you can go with 1000+ comments. totally stumbled on your blog, and really…no one can take THAT much cuteness (and weirdness =|) and this is coming from a girl that goes awwww at real kittens.

  534. I’ve been perusing your website for a few years now. So, I guess I’ll pipe up so your lovely well-meaning wife can spread the misery onto unsuspecting orphans…

  535. Oh god man. I feel so sorry for you. Here, can I stuff this blog with comments? I don’t know how you deal with it.

  536. What a wonderful way to help spread the joy of Hello Kitty to poor deprived children who othewise would have no access to icons of the beloved feline to worship at the feet of. So, there could be another 200 miniature Hello Kitty shrines created because of your wife’s generosity. I’m sure there’s a pink boatload of Hello Kitty good karma waiting for her now. Maybe you can convince her to make this an ongoing project to help spread the love of Hello Kitty to even more unsuspecting souls throughout the world. Good luck with this.

  537. I read, but don’t ever comment. Love your work… and am always entertained. I have a few friends who are HK Horror stories themselves, thanks for sympathizing!

  538. I read this blog every two weeks, and I love the style of the author. I never comment, because my english sucks, but I read with pleasure everything, even the comments.
    in my country there are no such a hello kitty obsession, only with the emo kids (they totally crazy about it) but still… we all know that with hello kitty things can always get worse. )))
    thank you.

  539. Thought I’d comment since I’m a dedicated reader of your articles and I thoroughly enjoy reading every detail about your hate for hk! So, cheers! All the way from outback Oz!!!

  540. Hope this helps. I hope you can get rid of more than 200 items 🙂 Perhaps empty out the bathroom of most of those dolls?

    Reply
  541. I’ve been reading your blog for a while now. I do like a bit of Hello Kitty here and there but I couldn’t imagine living in a house chock-a-block with it.

    Keep going with the blog! It’s great!

  542. Perhaps she will now let you collect stuffed Cthulu’s so next time she has the urge to collect stupid cats you will have someone to feed them to! 😀

    Reply
  543. You poor, poor dear. I don’t really read the blog, but *anything* for a guy to avoid a Hello Kitty Vacation. (I shudder just to think of it… I mean, I have nothing against gayness and sparklies and pretty pretty pinkness, but dear GOD, a man has to draw the line somewhere!)

    Reply
  544. It’s good that the kids will gain more toys, but, i think that you made a mistake in it.
    First: 200 kitty toys for orfan kids, it means a big kitty propaganda, the feline came to make them happy, they have to love it.

    Second: now your wife have more space to more brand new hello kitty itens, hope she have fun buying them ^_^

    Reply
  545. And one more silent reader! I was referred here some day, and just keep visiting for further laughs. (I also do get a bit paranoid when I suddenly bump into Hello Kitty IRL, but it doesn’t last.)

    Have you thought, however, that in order to get rid of a “mere” 200 HK items, you will end up contaminating as many innocent orphans? Evil is everywhere and never stops.

    Reply
  546. Whenever I’m having a down day, I come here to remind myself that even when things suck in my life, the people with Hello Kitty addictions and those who have to endure them are doing it a lot tougher than I am. Yay for toys for kids!

    Reply
  547. I was introduced to your blog by a hello kitty lover.. thanks to the ridiculous content that exists with hello kitty on it, I think I’m converted. I don’t believe that was the intention of the blog but I never realized hello kitty was this ridiculous! I actually find it fantastic.

    In the end, all extra comments after the 1000 should further incourage your wife to donate more hello kitty toys for the kids… she can think of it as spring cleaning and buy new ones.

    Reply
  548. hi, enjoy your site. I admit I’m rather sucked in by the irresistable cuteness myself. I have a few items purchased “for the nieces” that never quite made it to them…

    As posted by others, you might not be doing these poor children a favor… part of the appeal for me is the fond memories of childhood Hello Kitty dolls…

    Reply
  549. I love Hello Kitty from a distance. There are only 6 pieces in my whole place. But I can understand your resistance to the cuteness. Hope this helps…

    Reply
  550. Glad to see you reached your total. I’m actually surprised that this blog is that popular. I guess the power of Schadenfreude is indeed a force to be reckoned with. You do of course realize that now that those items are gone, Your wife is probably going to buy them again. at your expense. Even when you win In Hello Kitty Hell, you lose.

    Reply
  551. Hello Kitty sucks. I feel for you having to live with all that crap. I didn’t understand it when I was 12, and don’t get it now. And I’m a girly-girl chick. HK=?????

    Reply
  552. I have been reading and keeping up with your blog for a while now but have never commented. I am a hello kitty lover and mainly come here to see what new HK items have been discovered 🙂

    Keep up with the good work

  553. I am a big (wel.. small really. I’m 4’10) Hello Kitty fan. Since I was a young young child. Hello Kitty reached all the way to Colombia to embed itself in my heart

    Anyway, I was actually googling shower caps (I only ever wear Hello Kitty shower caps) and somehow came across this website! Wow! I can’t wait to share it with everyone that has had to live with me and my Hello Kitty crap.

    Anyway, I know it’s late to comment for the orphan cause, but still… wanted to say hello and let you know I’m reading even if not commenting.

  554. That is just amazing. That is alot to give away. But they’re going toward a good cost!

    I love hello kitty, but I’m not so obsessed. I love reading your posts! I think it give the people who are hello kitty fanatics an idea of what others go through (sort of; hard to put it in a different way).

  556. I do love hello kitty since I was a little girl, but its not excesive and i would never submit my husband to a hello kitty house,but i still use some earrings and notebooks and stuff like that

    Reply
  557. Glad to hear you reached your target, but I do wonder: are you unwarily instilling the love of HK into poor helpless orphans?

    Let’s hope they don’t get obsessive. We have Darlene already.

  558. On the plus side, your spreading the Hello Kitty toys around will no doubt help to create even more Hello Kitty fans! lol More toys for tots!!! Yay! Hello Kitty rules the universe!!! 🙂 Meow!

  559. Another longtime lurker. I’ve looked at every post on your blog, but never commented. Hope the extra comments can still be redeemed for toys for the kids. And congrats on getting out of the vacation.

  560. i am a fan of Kitty and all things her but i have to leave most of them in the store. i do enojy readying your bog and give you a high five for respecting the Kitty even if you cant understand it.

  561. I love Hello Kitty! She is the cutest thing ever. your wife is awsome! 🙂 If I had as much stuff as you guys do I would be in heaven and my boyfriend would be making a blog just like yours. he hates hello kitty as well but I love it! Anyhoo this is my first time commenting even though we read your site. he finds it funny. Heres to the kids …

  562. I read your site once a month, but never thought to comment till this entry. Grats on the 1000. Will 2000 maybe be a 100% Hello-Kitty-free weekend away for you?

  563. Well that is most certainly a good cause. Charity for the children and the pity of a thousand people wishing well for your poor soul.

  564. Kitty would be pleased :-))))
    I’ve had a lecture about japanese popular culture and I’ve shown students some photos from this site. They were stunned 😉

  565. Hi, greetings from Singapore!! Rounding the number of comments to a nice number, I hope your wife can bear to part with more HK items and bring smiles to more children.

    Reply
  566. I am too late for the 200 but hopefully this comment can go towards helping you get rid of more items from the house (i get the feeling 200 items relative to the number of items she has, total, is nothing — sort of like taking the limit of 1/x as x approaches infinity — that ‘1’ doesn’t/can’t do anything in comparison to infinity).

    being Japanese clearly does not make me immune to the horror that resides in your home – it would drive me insane. i wish you the best of luck with ‘cleansing’ your home.

  567. hi, i do like hello kitty, but i find your web site HILARIOUS! I think I’m number 1,200 so yay! It’s great what you and your wife are doing for the orphans.

    It must be somewhat horrifying to see how many people have become witness to your Hello Kitty Hell.
    It’s very lovely of your wife to agree to this though.
    It must provide some kind of hope. 🙂

  569. I think you were right when you made mention that this site is ridiculous. What can a normal person really say to all of this, unless they deal with something like it. You’re like the Howard Stern of kitty shaped blends of calcium and raw pink molecules.

    Reply
  570. You are right … I don’t ever comment on any of your entries because I am truly speechless by the products and those that love HK so much. I still love HK though, I can’t help it. I grew up in South San Francisco where the Sanrio U.S. office is located … my dream as a little girl was to one day work there.

    Reply
  571. I used to have a Hello Kitty addiction, but one day I just woke up and realized how absurd it all was. The ebay browsing… searching for “stores near me”… I don’t remember what it was that finally broke me, but I wanted to thank you for your blog. You help me stay off the wagon. 🙂

  572. Ok, we found your last week when we were looking at buying a floor buffer and found your site, it’s awesome we laugh our assess off its great. sad part is i just remembered that I a grown man own a HK beer coozy! purchased on the navy base in Guam because i thought it was funny as hell now im not so sure!

    Reply
  573. I love your blog! And damn… Too bad I was late to find this blog randomly on the net. I so would love to help those kids (and you!)

    Keep posting- I need something to laugh at ^_^

    Reply
  574. I’m late to the commenting party, but I await further comments from your addictive blogging with the ferocious patience of a “real” stalking feline. Not those OMG too cute I’m gonna puke Hello Kitty’s; that fiendishly clever ploy for the Japanese to take over the world without violence. Why nuke us when we will eagerly take our own lives to escape the ever growing infestation of insidious and malevolent attacks of cuteness. I mean…don’t they know Nermal is supposed to be the world’s cutest kitten? LOL Hugs and sympathy, Pami xoxo

    Reply
  575. ok its cute and all, but too much of anything is well, too much.

    please remember people, its just stuff! As a horder in recovery myself I can relate to the odd need to collect and keep things that are never used, but I feel so much better when I clear stuff out!!!

    as for the blog, funny stuff, I would say I feel your pain, but mostly I just chuckle 😉

    Reply
  576. This site alone is proof of all that is wrong with consumerism. Really, I’m all for cute mascots as a sales gimmick, but just licensing Hello Kitty and slapping it onto a gazillion products is criminally lazy. To anyone even remotely considering a Sanrio purchase: Make it a pair of socks. That way, Hello Kitty’s mug gets soaked in foot juice and trampled on all day long.

    Brave denizen of the tenth circle of hell, I salute you. My theory is that this advanced level of devilish torment escaped Dante because Virgil was concerned that the former’s head might explode from cuteness.

    Reply
  577. I apologize for not commenting sooner and perhaps this 2009 comment will spur on another toy drive!

    I adore this blog and I actually like Hello Kitty too, although I must confess I don’t anything (although I have had my eye on a certain, um, uhem, massager from J-list.)

    Keep up the excellent work!

  578. I feel really bad for you. But hey I have to deal with my boyfriend and his collection of captain america stuff. I even bought the life size marvel captain america shield for christmas, it was so expensive like 2K because hes dead now and only a couple hundred? were made.

    Reply
  579. Wow. Found you today from Cakewrecks blog. This will be my new distraction from work—crazy. I’m fascinated by the nipple tassels. I can only imagine that I have more to discover as I delve into these posts.

    Reply
  580. I sympathize with both you and your wife. My sympathy for you is because I know the frustration that can come from a collection that becomes an obsession and takes over all the living space. For your wife because, well, I have the obsession bug too and you just have to catch them all.

    That said, I enjoy reading your blog. I don’t think you should have to sleep on the couch as often as is hinted at, though. LOL

    Reply
  581. Your site is so wonderful! Thank you very much, muah! 🙂
    I was able to find out about SO many Hello Kitty items that I want so much and didn’t even know existed! Hello Kitty Rocks!! 😀

    P.S. Your wife is truly a wonderful woman 🙂

  582. Wow! I never liked HK but I didn’t realize she had a plot to take over the world. Keep up the good work. Hello Kitty must be stopped.

    Reply
  583. Some people totally agreed with you, just never found this blog until now. Here’s a comment, Hopefully, you can donate a certain sleeping bag to that orphanage too.

    Reply
  584. I loooove your site. I loooove Hello Kitty too. I feel for you for living in a Hello Kitty Hell. Too much of a good thing is never a good thing.
    My husband feels for you too. I, as a Hello Kitty fanatic, have a rule in place that sais: “not to buy any Hello Kitty stuff unless it’s of any use and I don’t have another similar item already”. So I can buy a Hello Kitty toaster, as long as I don’t have a toaster yet. Or, if something’s only ornamental, I need to have a proper place for it before I buy it. This really stops Hello Kitty from flooding my house.
    For my husband I try to keep the Hello Kitty stuff in the living room to a minimum. He did put a 3D Hello Kitty in the cupboard and I was so proud!
    So yeah, my husband feels for you. He knows how fast a Hello Kitty hobby can run out of hand and he keeps a keen eye on it, haha.

  585. I read this blog all the time. Hmmmmm! I never saw this post. As I’m writing this I am waiting for the UPS guy to pull up with my Sanrio order. My poor, poor husband. He has to do this with me every 6 to 8 weeks. I LOVE HK and I’m 36. Can you imagine what it would be like in this house if we had a girl? As it is, I’m taking my niece to Harmonyland in 4 years. My husband does NOT get out of going. Oh! He loves your blog too.

    Reply
  586. I think the more comments you get the more she should donate. You do realize as those 200 leave they’ll need to be replace by 400 more. HK is very insidious and sneaky, she’s basically used to blindside me at the mall.
    Godd luck and keep up the fight.

  588. I ended up in this website by accident because I was looking for a yogurt maker and I had to click on the Hello Kitty one because I could not believe its existence. It was so hilarious and scary that I had to keep on reading!

    Reply
  589. LMFAO. I’m starting to think a bit differently about HK than I did about 5-10 mins ago… anyway…

    I just found your blog from a friend on a FB group wanting to collect several HK plushes for another friend’s collection. Being that I live in the states I’m not a great help to his cause, but I digress. One of my Australian friends posted a link to this blog in reply to wanting to help the other friend and I must admit, I’m hooked. I’m reading a few posts here and there, but I think I’m going to follow it (and like your page on FB once it quits being a p.i.t.a.) and also intend to read the entire thing.

    I’m nowhere near a fantatic… not even sure I have anything HK, not since I was little anyway. However, you’re quite amusing! Especially the comments about being ‘sent to the couch in the Hello Kitty sleeping bag’ XD I feel for you, you poor man, but at least you have a sense of humor about it.
