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 ๐Ÿ™‚

    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. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  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!

  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.

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…

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

  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.

    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! ๐Ÿ˜€

  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!

  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!

  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!

    Reply
  62. I’m glad that you’ll be getting rid of HK items, though I feel sorry for the kids who get them. ๐Ÿ™‚ But I’m sure your wife will quickly replace the toys with new HK items.

    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.

  96. I too have never commented on this blog but have been reading it for quite a while. 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.

  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!

    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 : )

  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.

  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.

  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 ๐Ÿ™‚ ). 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 ๐Ÿ™‚ !

  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…

If only my father-in-law had thought of this for his second wife and her obsession with Longaberger baskets… ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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.

    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.

    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.

  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. ๐Ÿ™‚ 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.)

While I love Hello Kitty immensely, I also see the humor in the obsession for anyone on the “outside.”

  200. Hello! I’ve only commented on your Blog a few times, but I am a frequent reader. Donating a some of the Hello Kitty Toys would really make some of the little ones happy. It’s so sweet that you help out the orphanage. Good luck with everything. ๐Ÿ™‚

  201. Mind you, this 1000 comments thingy is helping spread your name. This is your first post Iยดve read, and I think Iยดm gonna keep reading.

    But why would you give something you absolutely hate and that makes your life hell to orphans?

  202. Wow, ever since i saw you sight i thought:

  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.
    good luck!

  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.

  208. I have only commented one other time on this blog, but I do it subscribe and read it regularly. I hope this comment helps the toy drive.

  209. I’m a habitual lurker, and even though I do indeed find Hello Kitty cute, I accept that she will one day come to rule the earth. I never commented because I didn’t feel like I could contribute anything, but I’ve been reading since last year.

    I am glad that my comment can help relieve you of some Hello Kitty, but also gain some karma points for helping the kids.

  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 =)

  214. Hello Kitty is horrible, but your blog isn’t!
    I never knew there were so many RIDICULOUS Hello Kitty items!
    Well, hope I helped a little in getting towards that 1000 mark.

  215. i’m also a first time commenter subscribed to the rss feed.

    i particularly like the terrible hello kitty tattoos you find.

    anyways, may the orphans enjoy their toys.

  216. (sorry – this is a second post from me— hope it doesn’t mess up your count, but you don’t have to publish it)

    i’d looooove to see a photo of the two hundred things that get donated…. i’m sure it’ll happen!

  219. Are you sure you want your wife to spread more of KC’s vileness to the innocent children of the orphanages?

    Well, okay. Just keep it away from me.

  220. I’m not really big on hello kitty stuff, but I’m not really big on children either so why not let them have them

  221. Hello,

    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!

  222. I was an orphan for 6 months in Korea…I wish I received some Hello Kitty stuff…So, I am posting for the kids!!!

  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!!!!

  225. my god do i feel for you , if a single HK item came in our house i would initiate divorce proceedings forthwith…
    the leathers in the post just below this thread were vile in the extreme…
    if i saw a hello kitty BMW M/C i don’t know how i would cope…
    i hope you get 2000 responses…

  226. 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.

    Thanks for all the trauma you’ve brought to my life in HK forms, and good luck! =D

  227. Ah yes, Hello Kitty…

    They are slowly trying to infect the entire world! Like Furbies! or McDonalds!

    So here’s my comment for your sake….”I LOVE HELLO KITTYYYY!!!!!” ๐Ÿ˜€

  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!

  230. I check your blog every day, but this is my first time commenting. I love hello kitty but I also think you are a funny guy. You should put up an address where the visitors to the site can donate toys as well. I would…

  231. I have been reading your blog for over a year now and it’s wonderful! Love it, keep it up. Even though my favourite is “My Melody”, but still enjoy seeing unusual HK stuff. Let the kids smile!

  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 ๐Ÿ™‚

  233. I am a long time lurker, I love reading your blog, this is my first comment. ๐Ÿ™‚ This is great what your wife is doing for the kids, I hope you get 1,000 comments! ๐Ÿ˜€

    I love HK. This site makes me want to move to Japan so I can get lots more of my darling kitty. <3

  234. You must really love your wife to put up with her HK craziness. I don’t mind the cat, but I will not go out of my way to get any of its things. I wish you luck in achieving your goal.

  237. Wifey Donate. My husband showed me this blog out of exasperation, then I kept coming back. I like Hello Kitty, but I don’t LOVE HK…it is just a happy part of my childhood. 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.

  238. xD goodluck haha.
    she should at least be willing to give SOME up.

  242. i love hello kitty but i do believe somethings have gotten to far. But i think you should still take you wife on her shopping spree since it makes her happy and you love her you would wanna make her happy. so regardless take her on her shopping spree. oh and bring me something back please lol =]

  243. Surely if your wife was a nice person she’d be happy just to donate a load of toys without the whole comment thing? Anyway, Heres to 1/5th of a Hello Kitty toy winging its way to some (un)fortunate Japanese kid…

  244. I discovered your site a month ago and i love it, even though i’m a huge hello kitty fan. Your wife is very generous to give her HK items away.

  245. hey! i hope you reach your goal of 1000 comments. although i love hello kitty…..i only like the stuffed animals as i find other products to extremely creepy. so, its good that you are donating for a good cause!

  246. I read every post on this blog via my feed reader and it always makes me shake my head and wonder why anyone thought the stuff was necessary.

    Keep up the good work !

  247. I love to read your blog. I am a fan of the cat but I am appalled at the lengths people go to. Guns? Men’s clothing? Seriously? Anyway, good luck. Is there a way we can help with donations as well?

  248. Neat idea. I hope you get 1000 comments. I like Hello Kitty okay, but it’s definitely better to leave the toys for the kiddos.

  252. Somewhat first time comment (can’t remember if I have before) – love Hello Kitty but I love this blog too. What can I say, even I think it becomes silly sometimes… and I own just about everything in HK! It is possible to have too much of a good thing; HKH keeps me from giving my life savings to Sanrio.

  255. Even though you’ll rid your house of a lot of Hello Kitty, you’ll seriously never get away from her because she is spreading like wildfire haha. Good luck!

  256. Guilty of lurking!

    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.

  257. Let’s get the HK crap out of there! (And do you think you can sneak the HK sleeping bag out with all the other junk?)

  259. I’m a hello kitty fan, but I also love your blog.

    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. ๐Ÿ™‚

  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!

    Reply
  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.

  263. Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hello Kitty,
    it’s great that you guys help out in orphanages! I’ve started subscribing through a RSS feed since last week. Must admit I love HK, but I also love the rants ๐Ÿ™‚
    Thankfully my son and partner get spared a lot of my ooohs andd aaahs but at the end of the day that’s why you guys love us girls ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Good luck Mr. HK, and Mrs. HK I’ll email you a few HK items I found here in Spain that I’ve never seen anywhere else.

  265. That’s awesome. Your wife better come through with her promise. And I want to see pictures of the donations (i bet i’m not the only one that said this but it’s up to 500 and something already). Here’s to the both of you.

    It looks as though you’ve got quite a few comments already, it’s nice that a few toys will be guven away.

    I look forward to reading future posts.

  270. Good luck on the 1000 comments. Already more than halfway there. I love hello kitty but not as fanatical as your wife. Close but not quite there. I do find some of the stuff you post to be a little too way out there at times. Sorry for the way you live. I would never put my husband through what your wife does to you.
