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.
Let’s get those toys rolling out.
OK, good sir…
Before you have to suffer the horrible pain of Puroland et al, I do comment here!
Your blog is great btw – as is HK…
catspeed!
I have a ‘small’ liking for the hellish Kitty….reading this blog goes some way to stop me allowing it to take over…..thanks for the grounding advice and for continually exposing the truth about the freaky feline…
Comment #2. Come on people, it’s for a good cause…
Do it for the kids!
Am I the first one?
Hello, I’m Francesca from Italy, this is the first time I post a comment, but I’ve been reading Hello Kitty Hell for a while now.
Cheers!
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
First time posting/long time reader
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…
i lurk all the time
i have never commented before, and i suspect the blog owner secretly loves hello kitty.
A quick check shows that there are 499 subscribes to this feed via Google Reader alone. Me delurking leaves 498 of them.
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.
The obligatory Simpson’s quote:
Please – won’t somebody think of the children?!?!
Good luck avoiding HK holiday!
Hey, I read you blog…but never comment ^^;
So keep the toys rolling xD
i think even if you get all the comments you need you should still take her on a hello kitty trip:)
Good luck!
Just trying to save you from the Hello Kitty trip. I can’t even imagine the horror.
I never comment, but this is for orphans, so yay.
I think it’s appropriate that we leave 999 comments so that the children get the Hello Kitty toys and he has to take his wife on a trip for all that she has to put up with living with him and this blog.
Hey! I like to read this site, and I like for Kids to have toys!
To help the kids out with toys [read save you] I’ll comment.
I’m always willing to help out kids when I can.
Little orphans is a great reason to comment.
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.
never comented before but always read.
Good luck!
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!
For the children! I’m gonna try and make my friend comment later today!
Good luck Mr. Hello Kitty Hell!!!
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!
What a fantastic idea! Good luck!
Hello! Long time lurker, first time commenter – emerging from lurkdom for a good cause. Good luck! >^..^<
Gook luck!
Marco
I only comment rarely, but this is certainly in a good cause. Glad to put my .1% in.
> One of the activities I undertake each year is collect toys for a local orphanage in Japan.
Kudos, Mr. HKH.
Include me in.
Hello Kitty has inspired some good fan art, and led (through this site) to me making 2 new friends.
I make that 1 post, saying 2 positive things about Hello Kitty. Total Count when I came on, 28 comments.
After I read my e-mail and online news every morning, I turn to Hello Kitty Hell for my morning “comics”!
never commented before but I read your blog every day!
I never commented before, but for the sake of little children and making your house a little more liveable, I couldn’t resist.
You should still take her on that trip though.
I must admit I’m rather fond of Hello Kitty (and kittehs in general), but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Let’s share the Hello Kitty love with the wee folk and get those toys moving!
Sounds good to me.
I don’t hate Hello Kitty, but I never really did understand it.
New comment!
I love this blog!
For the cause of making some children happy! =)
I enjoy reading your blog… although I like Hello Kitty.
Keep it up!
long time reader, first time commenter! i LOVE hello kitty, been to japan twice and leave at least a quarter of my suitcase free to bring back HK goods. i have HK toilet paper in my bathroom NO ONE is allowed to use. i love this blog, i read every post via google reader, but i never comment, not because i don’t love the writing and the blog, but mostly because i’m LAZY. KEEP IT UP!
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’m yet another person “lurking” with an rss reader… good luck, hope you “get rid of” / donate the 200!
I’m glad to help make Hello Kitty a little less Kitty-ish. I live in Taiwan, which is too kittyized too.
I read this blog each day, but have never commented. I really enjoy it, and this this is a good cause!
I am another one of your never commenting readers, but this time I do. Hope it does some good
Greetings from Germany,
Weazlon
I have your blog in my rss reader. I’m a hello kitty fan, but I find 99% of the things you blog about absolutely ridiculous and reading your blog makes me laugh. a lot.
Good luck, dude!
Ello! While looking for contacts I found the hello kitty contacts. (which I want) I was very entertained by the site and have been a frequent lurker ever since. Anyways this is also my first comment, I hope it makes up for me not taking out the trash. Roll out the toys! ^^
Here’s to your 1,000 comments! My daughter has filled my home with Hello Kitty items. Now I dry my hair every day with a hello kitty hair dryer and make waffles on Sundays with a hello kitty waffle maker! Your not the only one in Hello Kitty hell!
What a totally awesome way to comment whore!
Longtime lurker, first time commenter.
Hopefully your wife won’t buy you that hideous motorcycle leather outfit.
I love Hello Kitty and I think your site is very fun. Best of luck with all those toys and sweet kids!
kitty for the orphans!
Toys for tots, internet version 0.0001.
Read it but never comment, til you bribed me. Would have been better had you offered to get rid of the hello kitty stuff and match it with real nice toys. But, I digress.
I read “Hello Kitty Hell” blog every time I blog (usually several times a week).
i thought you were selling her hello kitty stuff through this post!
I hope there will be 1000 comments! Good luck!
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…
another long time silent reader. Thanks for the amusement and helping the work day pass by faster. Think what you guys are doing for the kids is great.
keep writing!
Here is a comment from the lurker!
As someone who once purged her Hello Kitty collection, your wife CAN do it. Good luck!
Of course i be more then happy to comply!
The chance for you to get rid of a few hundred evil items sounds great!!
@hkh
If you want, i can place a banner on my websites as well as make a blog-article about your good cause, that way pointing people to this site and especially this article.
Just say the word
Hell-o, Hell-o, Hell-o
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,
Janie
Lurking, but saying “hello” for the kids
yeah I love your blog and I also think HK is evil
Good luck in reaching 1,000!
Donate away.
Although you would have much more material for this blog if you went on that trip to hell… [snickers :P]
I’m not for or against hello kitty, but I subscribe to the RSS feed because it’s really crazy what hello kitty can appear on. Americans would be so up in arms if disney characters were made into vibrators.
Hi, and good luck with this!!!!
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….
let’s do it!
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’m slow to get on the post…
Go HKH!!!!!!!!!!!
Get those toys for the orphans!!!!!!!!
Fantastic blog. It’s ridiculous how many things are out there with theevil feline on it. Good luck on your commenting!
My first comment!
I’ve Kitty Hell’s rss added to my feed reader so I can’t comment usually :/
Your idea is great, glad to help!
Keep posting awesome HK stuff!! ^^
Of course, Hello Kitty being such a great thing for your wife she should want for the orphans to enjoy them HK too?
Here, kitty kitty kitty………………..
Not a new commenter here, but every little bit helps, no?
Hope this helps with the toy-drive!
Kitty power rules!!!!
I’m a Hello Kitty addict and even I think that some people go WAY too far. I still want to stay at that Taiwan hotel though..
Great blog!
While I’m a HK fan, I wouldn’t wish a HK vacation on anyone who doesn’t fully enjoy HK……good luck with the 1000 comments!
You guys are too funny, I really hope your wife is not this hated darlene!
This a great diversion at work (though sometimes I laugh a little too loud and get looked at funny).
i’m also one of those that checks this site almost daily except i dont post much. i absolutely love hello kitty and i find your blog hilarious!! and this comment is for a good cause so i’d thought i’d jump in to say hello to everyone
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!
Hope this helps!
More Kitty toys for tots! (Okay, okay, that’s tantamount to saying Hello Crack, but whatever.)
….How many Hello Kitty toys does she have?!
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!
Hello from Barcelona!!! Here we also have some hello kitty shops… buy they are almost allways empty!!!
I use to read your blog often and its incredible that lot of diferent Hello kitty stuff… And so much people with tatoos!!!
Long time lurker emerging from Lurkdom FOR THE CHILDREN.
Wow, this may be for a good cause, but it might just make the poor kids worse off. Not only are their parents dead, but all they have for comfort is Hello Kitty? Ow.
toys for orphans and happiness for you everybody wins!
What a generous idea! Maybe I should donate some of my hello kitty crap (I mean collectibles) to a good cause. Hmmmm….
I’ve commented a few times, I’ll help with this^^ Good luck!!
For a toy drive why not. I feel you pain, it started as a joke but now I get tons of hello kitty presents evey year. Atleast this way you get to do good while you share the pain.
I hope that you make it, and can be alleviated of some of the hell you live with. Good luck!
Toys for orphans? Works for me. I read this pretty regularly, but was too busy laughing to comment before now.
I’m one who reads but has never posted until now. Good lick with the toy drive.
those poor orphans.. but at least they get toys. and i so hope you make it to 1000 comments, a hello kitty trip is just too cruel.
I am subscribed to the RSS feed. I’ve never commented before!
Hello! I think this is a great opportunity for you to buy your wife even MORE Hello Kitty stuff to replace whatever she gives to the orphans! ^_^ Good luck!
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!
I usually just lurk and laugh, but here´s my comment for your toydrive
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!
i like that you’re giving stuff to an orphanage. i have tons of adopted friends and cousins!
good luck!
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.
first time poster. Good luck with the toy drive
I read this everyday. Love this site.. even though I do like hello kitty.. this amuses me!
I’ve been reading your blog for ages, never commented though til now
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.
Good luck!
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…
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.
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.
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.
Good Luck!!
Good luck!
Take your wife on the shopping trip anyway
Good luck!
hehe, for once darlene has a short comment that doesn’t say anything mean to you, and actually goes along with what you wrote XD
hope you get to 1000!
At least it’s for a good cause, right? I hope she has a change of heart and decides to donate 400 toys… cause I’m certain she has more than enough.
Good luck Mr. HKH!!!
one comment more, hope you don’t have to take that vacation, good luck
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.
To you wife: Send your Hello Kitty toys to a country that appreciates it. Send it ALL to Japan’s kids, and give your darling husband a break.
I’m subscribed to the RSS feed, so I read every post but have never commented. Sorry about that… Let’s get those toys to those kids!
I subscribe to you in my google reader and have never commented. My girlfriend is obsessed with hello kitty so it’s nice to see someone going through what I go through.
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.
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!
Yay! Share the HK love, donate more. It makes room for all the new HK releases
Hello, hello!
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!
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.
One more small step for the kiddies.
I expect a post showing all the stuff you manage to clear out as a result of these comments!
Time for a toy roll-out!
I read whenever my feed reader yells there is a new post. I rarely, if ever, comment. Hmm maybe never…
I read and never comment. But I am, indeed, speechless at most of the items. Good luck, and hurray for charity.
Donating toys to orphans and a little less hello kitty stuff in your house? Awesome.
I like HK, but your blog still cracks me up
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.
love the website
Hi!
me too i just read & laugh a lot event if I am a *moderate* HK fan!
good luck with your quest!
Long-time reader, first time commenter! All for a good cause.
No one should be subjected to a Hello Kitty holiday against their will.
I’ve been checking this site almost every day for the last six months or so, after my sister pointed me to it. I have never commented, but if ever there was a time…
I hope you reach the thousand comments, not only so that you don’t have to go on the HK vacation, but also so that the children get all the toys.
Good luck getting rid of the evil cat!
okay I’ll bite – but only because you posted the leathers. any help i can get in tormenting my racing buddies is welcome. just don’t tell them where i get those frightening pix!
Donating toys is great!
I visit this blog all the time but I’ve never commented. Um, I have now though..
I read your blog LOADS I don’t mind hello kitty too much, but the items that you somehow find yourself plauged with do tend to leave me speechless and I really hope that you can alleviate the hello kittyness of your home and life.
So here’s the first (and most likely last) comment you’ll hear from me for the orphanage!! WOO! LETS GET A THOUSAND COMMENTS!
And hope to GOD that you don’t have to go on that trip!!
Hello! Long time lurker, never a commenter. Bravo to your toy drive – I wish you much success!
awesome page! donate more hello kitty toys to young kids to spread the word and rid yourself of her at the same time!
Oooo, the gauntlet is down! Let’s get rid of some of those toys
I never commented here only did sometimes read the comments from other people and did enjoy them. My trip to japan did show me show to much of that kitty stuff and it was hard to not ask for a hello kitty flamthrower like the space balls flame thrower. But for helping a good cause i will post here a comment even if dont like hello kitty.
Comment nº133:Good Luck!
Hrm, I tend to collect a fair few number of HK items (it’s fantastic to own something you know won’t be mysteriously “borrowed” and returned broken if ever), I do think this donation idea is a really good thing. Hope you reach your goal soon!
Man, moderation in all things, ESPECIALLY the cute! Hello Kitties, goodbye
Not sure if I count as a “new” commentator since I’ve left two or three comments here and there, but I figure it can’t hurt. Best of luck getting the toys out there.
I’m a part-time lurker – love the website, and a bit of HK here and there is ok.
Great cause, so cheers to your wife – hope you get the max number of comments!!
Good luck reaching your goal! It’s such a good cause, donating toys and slightly fractioning your own personal hell. Sounds like everyone wins to me.
Um, yay!
Sounds like wins all round. I drive a black Honda CR-V with a cuddly Hello Kitty hanging from the rear view mirror, so you probably don’t want to hear from me again…
I normally check your website about every other day. I used to be an advid hello kitty collector but kinda grew out of it. Since then Hello Kitty is EVERYWHERE. So I like to check out what you have new listed every now and then. I don’t comment cuz well I guess like you said i’m speechless. LoL Good luck!
word
Heh – it’s nice that one my comments might actually help for once.
This counts as a comment! Go Kitty GO!
All for a good cause.
I think donating to charity is a wonderful idea.
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!
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.
I’m one of the quiet readers subscribed to the rss feed.
oh dear,
let’s save you from a trip from hell, plus get rid of some of that creepy kitty stuff for charity
(i just found this website, and it gave me a good laugh, as well as freaked me out a good deal… hello kitty GUNS?!?!?!)
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 feel for you man. I’m currently holding an armistice between my Gundam models and my wife’s Teddy Bears.
I’m sure the kids will love the hello kitty gadgets! let’s spread the hello kitty mania among new generations!
Good luck in your quest, man. I hope that you succeed with this!
I love HK! Share the love with the orphanage.
Start packing them up!
Dear Mr. HKH,
I have read your blog for a loooong time, but never commented! I love the way you write, and I feel very sorry for you, living in HKH and all. Good luck 
x
I really hope enough people comment, it would be so amazing to give those kids so much happiness with some lovely Hello Kitty Goods
I wanna help! I hope you reach your goal!
I read this blog every day, but I never comment “because I am speechless”… FROM LAUGHTER
Go free toys!
Is it really a good idea to be giving these kids Hello Kitty toys. Well I guess it’s better then nothing.
Orphans FTW!!
Give the poor orphans their Hello Kitty. Just remember “Give a little Hello Kitty and it all comes back to you”!
I think that is a beautiful and noble thing your wife is doing. You should be proud of her sacrifice. Take her to see something beautiful and feed her.
I see every day your site but I never wrote a comment. My boyfriend is your fan and wants to meet you to shake your hand…he like very much your anti Kitty site.
I think that I and my boyfriend are the Italian copy of you and your wife!
Let’s give HK stuffs to the children!!!
I love hello kitty but i also love your blog! I always just read it but for a great cause decided to write! Good Luck!
Let’s see such an overwhelming amount of posts that th esleeping bag gets
Good luck on your cause. You site is not unknown in the Furry Community and I will direct to this site.
Sill I hope we only get 990 so you can go on a nice vacation. Who knows, perhaps Sanrio can arrange a special tour and spring a ticket on the Hello Kitty Jet. Furthermore your wife need go further on the bet, you must hug hello kitty and a picture with every charter and post the picture here. (welcome to uber hello kitty hell)
I only came across your blog a few days ago, and I absolutely love it. So here’s a comment to help you out ;D
I’m sending it to friends too to help you out. Good luck!!
Try #2:
Let’s see such an overwhelming amount of posts that the sleeping bag gets donated too.
HKH is always a giggle… but I hafta admit I quite like the lil’ critter myself.
If she wants to donate that hello kitty sewing machine to me, I’ll donate 100 of my hello kitty things to the children.
Good luck!
Hello, I’m pretty new to the Blog having stumbled on it a few weeks ago. Luckily enough for me, though my wife DOES love Hello Kitty, she doesn’t have many Hello Kitty items. Here here to donating hell!
Wel, hopefully those kids like hello kitty. Because they will get tons of it!
I LOOOOVE this site, it always gives me a good laugh.
Good luck getting more comments.
Hello Kitty = thumbs in eyes.
hope ya hit that 1000.
cool way to help some kids ;D and to show how many people read this blog^^
Im a little bit late… but here’s my little grain of sand…
I always read the site, but this is my first time commenting.
Good luck!
I read this blog and never commented. :O Mainly because lots of this stuff scares the crap out of me.
Glad to help one partially banish the cat-demon.
I’ve been reading for quite a while and have sent the site to a number of my friends. We still don’t get it though….these are adults that are buying all this junk? I mean, honestly, adults? i’d have thought most people would have grown out of this by the time there were teenagers! My sympathies on your plight!
I love Hello Kitty THIS MUCH!!!
(/em hold arms wide open)
I’m just a ‘core’ user, but Hello Kitty is both good and bad. Bad in excess, good if used to make someone happy…
Good luck with this, mate. I have to admit that I kinda like Hello Kitty stuff, but your wife has taken this thing to another universe. My sympathies, honestly.
Here’s hoping that you can get those 200 Hello Kitties out of your house
Here’s your comment. I hope your wife will donate the toys anyways even if you don’t reach 1000. Think of the children!
hey! i got the subscription thing to this page..
i started looking at it to see all of the cool hello kity stuff and loved it..
ive never commented but its for a good cause
hope u win the bet
XD
New poster, long-time reader. Really enjoy the site, and enjoy even more the prospect of some orphanage kids in Japan receiving the HKH items for the holidays!! Good luck *^_^*
Delurking for a good cause.
I follow this blog daily. I am so glad I am not married to a woman who is obsessed with Hello Kitty like this.
Been a fan of your site for a good while now, never have commented (sorry bout that). I enjoy your posts and love finding out how many ways the evil Hello Kitty virus can spread. Goodluck =)
Hellz yeah! I love HK but if it’s to help a cause, anything would help!
Think of the children!
I’ll bite, anything to help out a fellow HK sufferer!
P.S. Kate Donohoe in Gonubie ZA wants the HK floor polisher
Thanks to your help I have managed to overcome any Hello Kitty obsession in myself and my 11 year old daughter. Thank goodness we are avoiding the evil feline. Her comment was I am SO over Hello Kitty.
Good luck!
I am doing my part to get the toys out of the house and to the kids. I truly feel your pain.
I really didn’t want to comment so your wife got her hello kitty trip but my morals won instead,
Charlotte
my boyfriend found this site and got me hooked on it, while I don’t personally have a vendetta against Hello Kitty I really enjoy your blog, hope you get rid of some toys!
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. =)
good luck bro
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!
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.
^^rss reader for… quite awhile.^^
and for the record, I’d love a Hello Kitty Trip! haha
Another lurker chiming in! Let’s give those Kitties to needy kids!
Here’s hoping you get tons of the cute little monsters out of your life.
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.
Love the site, been meaning to send in pics of my wife forever, never commented, but been reading awhile. Hope this helps!
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!
I got a Hello Kitty Visa last week to keep my expenses down! YEAH!
awesome idea for a great cause!
Hope you can get the 1000 comments! And here’s my share of help.
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 am one of those lurkers that never comments but always read. i hope you reach your goal and can help the kids out with some awesome toys.
A comment from sweden here, hope the kids like Hello Kitty
rigth on!
I assume that there is a time-line in place for this competition. When will it end if you do not mind me asking? I hope you hit your 1000 comments. He’s my contribution.
thanx for a great site..
i love to read but I don’t comment…
hope you get rid of those 200 hello kitty toys (for the good cause)
donate donate
Everything for the orphans
Go get those toys!
Recently discovered your blog, so lurking for a short time, but maybe becoming af long time fan.
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 : )
good luck!
Here you go!
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
Wow, lets get those toys gone!
First comment by me, but it is for a good cause.
Happy holiday in August, hopefully without Hello Kitty!
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.
best of luck
Good luck to ya’. =P
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.
=D
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!
Good luck!
I am one of the many readers on this blog that never leave comments, but I’m all for helping out the shorties.
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!
PS My Birthday is coming up and DairyQueen won’t make me an HK ice cream cake like they did last year. Be proud of them, someone has stood up to an HK lover! lol!
I love helping a good cause!
Good Luck!
Another watcher that has never commented! I hope you get there!
A part of me really wants you to have to go on that trip, but a larger part of me thinks that donating 200 toys would be a very good thing to do.
I am one of those people that read and never comment.
I’ve been to your site several times, but never commented. I love Hello Kitty, but love reading your blog. Good luck with the toys!
Long time reader and since it’s for a good cause I will comment. Try to stay off the couch.
I am always willing to comment for a good cause, even if I normally never do. Good luck!
Love the blog but, oh the comment drama. Too funny!
Good luck on the 1000! ~ here is my comment to add to the total.
Donate le Kitty toys! w00t! i see darlene can’t be bothered when it’s for something worthwhile!
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 
!
HAhHAAha I hope you fail. It’s fun to watch you suffer… Doesn’t mean I won’t comment, though, to give you the appearance of a chance!
Love the blog ;3
Goodluck getting rid of the toys.
I personally love Hello Kitty, but too much of a good thing..
Good luck on getting the 1000.
Good luck !!!
I almost didn’t want to comment just so you’d have to go on that trip.
However, as a thank you for showing me such awesome HK stuff so I’m commenting.
Good Luck!
I really think the kids would enjoy such toys, after all, isn’t hello kitty, as an icon, targeted at little kids? Sans guns and vibrator of course
Honestly, I’m rooting for the kids, I would love to share Hello Kitty with every kid possible.
I read the blog all the time and have never commented before.
I’d guess even when your wife donates all the Hello Kitty toys, won’t that be incentive to buy more?
One more and it’ll be 200! Good luck!
Good luck to you… hope all goes well, whichever result that may be.
That will not make the kids play with the Hello Kitty stuff if they don’t want to right?
Hoooray! Can you get a tax deduction on all the crap she is donating?
i read this blog all the time, but i definately lurk. i just hate commenting. i’m not clever. i sometimes think darlene is your wife, because that’s so something my husband would do to me if i ran this blog, comment under an alias. ^^
also, there’s a hello kitty build-a-bear now. i have pictures.
yay toys for kids.
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!)
I always read, but never comment! Cheers!
– Marla
(Dear Mr. HKH – I made it as heart-wrenching as I could! Good luck giving away some stuff!)
Damn, now I wish that I had not commented on the HK Art thing a couple of weeks back.
Fellow sufferer.
I feel your pain as I also have sometimes overwhelmed by this evil masterplan that someday tries to dominate whole world. If I could get flamethrower and “Hello Kitty” factory on the line I would be very happy man.
Lets hope that your household will be cleansed from those horrible thingies once and for all!
De-lurking for the orphans (and so you can avoid the HKH holiday!)
If any of those Hello Kitty toys are rejected by the toy drive, just zip them up and send them to this address.
I really hope that you are able to reach your goal!
And here’s another brick in the wall. Hope you can reach 1000 comments!
I will save you!
thats an awesome deal you’ve struck. good luck getting the kids toys back to the kids.
Wow, already over 200 comments?! Awesome!
I’ve actually been coming to this site for awhile, and even read all the past posts, I just never got around to commenting!
But yeah, even though there are some things I like about HK, some of the things that are around are simply ridiculous!
Anyways, good luck on reaching 1000!! I’ll definately tell my friends to come and leave their mark! Good luck!
The toy drive is a wonderful idea.
I love the zombie things featured on the site.
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. :]
I teach high school and have met some Hello Kitty addicts so I think your wife should give up her collection to the babies.
i read it all and go girl! go help a good cause, both u and ur husband will be happy
im sure!
I love your blog but don’t post as I don’t have anything to add to the craziness of HKH. A friend showed me this site and I’ve been hooked ever since, and I don’t even like HK! She’s bugged ever since I was little and I promptly broke, lost, or gave away any HK items that were misguidedly given to me.
It’s for a good cause. I hope you get lots of toys from your wife (and other places) for the children.
haha dude this rocks, i’m just wondering if they’re going to give them stricly to girls or if the guys are getting them too
First time commenter from Berkeley, CA. I’m delighted to hear that your wife is making kids happy future Hello Kitty lovers!
I like Hello Kitty, but you deserve a break.
Here’s my contribution I guess… Hope you make it.
My daughter is only 6 and her 21 year old cousin has started her on the Hello Kitty addiction. Is there a 12 step program?
I’ve never had occasion to comment before, but I do check in from time to time.
heh… I’m subjected to this off and on by a friend of mine (ando…). i find the absolute breadth of HK stuff to be both amazing and disturbing…
Hi. here’s another comment. Catface looks a little like Hello Kitty.
Give it all away!
– R
Best. Site. Ever. (and I’m a mild HK fan)
down with the fell cat demon
Hi,
I really fell compassionate about your pain, coz’ my girlfriend is a Hello Kitty freak too (she got offered an HK toilet seat and installed it in our bathroom…).
I post this comment here to help you get rid of some hellish feline crap and that is THE good cause.
I usually don’t comment (especially since I actually like Hello Kitty *sorry* but just find your plight somewhat amusing), but this is a very nice cause. Good luck! I hope your wife decides to donate a lot of toys (for your sake and the children’s). =)
Love this idea, but in a sick way might you by giving these toys to the children, create some one elses hello kitty hell?
I haven’t ever commented before, but do occasionally read, when prompted by my Hello-Kitty obsessed friend. Good luck with the drive!
Oh, lawd. Good luck.
Good on you for donating toys, though, that’s great.
OH, LORD. THE PERSON ABOVE ME IS RIGHT.
Then again, they will most likely be sharing the toys. Hope they enjoy them as much as your wife does!
great site, great idea!
while i love hello kitty, sanrio never ceases to delight and horrify me with its massive product overload. best of luck ridding yourself of hello kitty items.
hope you’ll get your 1000+ comments soon!
aw heck why not. good luck!
This would be awesome, I hope your wife is generous with the toys no matter what since it’d be such a boon to the kiddies. (Even if the cat has reached new and stupid levels of ridiculous, toys are toys!)
Here’s helping!
So you’ll be exposing young impressionable minds to the pure evil that is Hello Kitty? I hope you’re proud of yourself
good luck buddy!!!
Awww, we all knew you had a heart of gold despite the hatred for Hello Kitty, hehehe. I hope this helps you get the 200 toys for the kids! I’ll try to get my blogger friends to come help! Good luck!
I just got sent here by a post on a forum, figured I’d join in on the cause. Hope you can get out of that vacation! And its great that she’s letting you give away stuff based on your comments.
I like Hello Kitty but find your blog hilarious.
Hope this helps the kids at the orphanage!!
I’m wondering what your wife would do… Although I know it’s for a good cause, if I was her, it’d be so hard for me to give up my Hello Kitty items…. Afterall, it’s collected from a lot of places in the world and every one of it means something.
You know what, maybe she’ll just buy another 200 and give those away instead of the ones she have! hehe…
that’s just kickass. everyone wins! you dispose of 200 HK little pieces of clutter (maybe she’ll donate the sleeping bag?) and a bunch of kids get presents! I love it!
~K
This sounds like a worthy cause! Consider yourself commented upon!
Not residing in Hello Kitty Hell myself, I often find the products you post more amusing than terrifying. But there are some that truly make me gasp.
It’s so great that you do this toy drive and I’m most happy to contribute to the cause. (And you can tell your wife, I don’t even subscribe to your RSS feed. I just read your blog on my own!)
I had a Hello kitty obsession for a while. But luckily I grew out of it. I love your site. I can not believe all the hello kitty shit there is.
Good Luck! I hope you hit 1000.
well i have been reading your blog for a while and personally love HK so i never comment but since its for the children i sure do hope you get the 1000 comments
Hello Kitty has the best fan base, they make (and or buy) Vibrators, M-16’s, everything! Good luck on the toy drive!.
I read this all the time too, but never comment! I hope you get the 1000 comments, but does that mean that some poor orphan children will have to endure Kitty’s mouthless horror?
Yay for kids! I hope they get lots and lots of new toys
Do it for the children. At least they will play with the toys!
Wow, never realized just how into Hello Kitty some people were. Neat site!
That is nice of your wife. Good luck!
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
—–}-@
Krys
Good luck on getting rid of stuff!
i’ll help not only because i love hello kitty and this blog and helping children, i also want you to be a little bit happier with 200 hello kitty things gone. i love her, but even i dont have that many. i hope this helps!!!!
hey!!! i am hoping to help you and the kids! i have a love/hate w/ HK and i love your site.
so i’m commenting, as Michael Jackson would say, “for the children…”
Hey, just dropping by to comment so that 1/5 of a toy is donated!
Good luck on hitting 1000 comments!
Hi, this sounds like a task worth doing! There. Greetings from Finland.
I read your blog every day with a mixture of horror and laughter. Keep it up, and I’ll cross my fingers you don’t have to take that trip!
You poor man. Good luck!
More than glad to make your Hello Kitty Hell at least a tiny bit less hellish!
I’m a relatively new reader, but loving it
Hope this helps get a toy to a kiddy!
Good luck! I thought your post about the Hello Kitty fountain bleeding instead of crying was hilarious. I hope you win the bet and that the kids get all 200 new toys.
I’m here thanks to the viral internet geniuses of blog-land that helped spread the word about your good cause! Good luck, and may the … um … kitty… be with you???
Good luck dude! I see your well on your way to the thousand posts
Go go more comments!
What a smashing idea! I’m not a mad Hello Kitty lover(a wee bit too cute for me), but I am sure the children will really appreciate this! What a lovely idea and nice to have dropped by to say hello
Yay for helping people out!
The evils of Hello Kitty are as nothing next to the evils of Barney or Barbie.
What an awesome idea! That is the kitty spirit!
Love the site! And good luck (to you…not the wifey :p!)
Good luck!
One more comment to add to the totals.
Here’s a comment :]
Because nobody should have 200 Hello Kitty items in their household.
Good luck!
hi. hello kitty sucks
I’m not sure wether I’m a HK-fan or not (maybe in a very ironical way), but I do read your blog
I suffer with you, and salute your wife for her sacrifice… doesn’t make much sense that I’m on both of your sides…
But anyway, a comment!
Doing my part to get you to 1000. Good luck!
damn you Hello Kitty forget the illuminati, it is you who rule the world…
I hope you win. Good luck!
Hmmm, help the children, help get your wife to Puroland…tough call.
I love this blog! I regularly check back here, I can never quite believe the variety of Hello Kitty crap out ther. I really hope you get those 200 toys donated to the orphanage!
Oh hell yeah! There’s no way you deserve to go on an entire Hello Kitty trip- and those kids need toys.
BTW, that Hello Kitty racing suit made me want to drive forks through my eyes.
Commenting to help the cause!
What I want to know is, what is a Hello Kitty trip? Is there a Hello Kitty theme park like DisneyLand?
I see this blog because i have a frienda that love the stupid cat (i crew out of it when i became a teenager or so).
I read this because then i can tease her with the new stuff (se also read the blog, so she knows about it).
I’m glad to post this and help 2 good causes, yours and the orphans…
I love HK, it’s embarassing, you must realize, we can’t help ourselves. You are lucky and don’t know it, my SIL likes cows! ughh.
In solidarity, against Hello Kitty. One of my favorite rock bands did a big Hello Kitty advertising blitz last year, much to my dismay and threats to protest. I think I feel your pain better than most!
I love this blog and though I’ve never commented before, I do read all the time. I was first introduced to it by my best friend suggesting I should get a hello kitty wedding cake for my upcoming nuptials…HA!
Will giving away 200 Hello Kitty items mean that your home is Hello Kitty free, or does she have even more?
Another long-time lurker here. Hate Hello Kitty, love the blog!

Long time reader – first time commenter! Here’s a cyber toast to the ultimate evil, Hello Kitty. Good luck avoiding the HK trip.
Good Luck, I hope you get to 1000
Anything for a good cause.
I just wanted to say that when I’m down I look at your blog and it cheers me up.
thanks.
I love hello kitty to death and I found this website looking for ideas for a hello kitty tattoo. It makes me laugh. Good for the kids I hope you make at least a 1000 comments
Give them toys to charity!
You’ll get easily 10’000. Yay for making a lot of orphans happy.
I read this blog all the time! I like Hello Kitty too :3
I think it will be great for all the kids without toys to get something cute and good <3
How can you NOT feel compelled to comment for the kiddies? Ok, I admit I LOVE HK but there are some things that are just WAY out there & I find myself chuckling at the absurdity that can be HK.
I must say though that the leather Motorcycle cut takes the cake. How can he stand there so serious? LOL
I have a friend that loves hello kitty. I will show her this blog.
and you’re going to be going on that trip!
PS. I love the idea of helping the orphans.
I’ve been visiting this blog for ages but I never comment, so I’m more than happy to do my little bit in eradicating as much Hello Kitty products from your house
Good luck!
that’s a lot of hello kitty items… wow.
: O
First time commenting! There is a lot of hello kitty stuff, and your suffering… makes me sort of happy. Schadenfreude!
Your blog has made it to my rss feeds, and I hope that you won’t succumb to the horrors of hello kitty hell!
Stay Sane!
-MW
I want to see more Hello Kitty Anti Personell Devices =)
Go team Orphan!
Love your blog — I’ll buy you a beer if our paths ever cross. I hope your wife doesn’t use this as an excuse to buy more in order to fill the void!
Let me jusz start off by saying dat yes i do read u’r post evrytime i go online but have yet 2 leave a comment till now.
i think dat wut u’r trying 2 do here is great!!!! =)
sooo jusz helping da cause!!!..o nd i LOVEEEE HELLO KiTTY!!!
SORRY =/ lOl.
I read, and just don’t comment. Keep up the good work!
Hello Kitty has to go!!!
i’m another one of those people who loves to read your blog but never comment, mostly because i never have anything constructive to say and at least a little bit because i’m torn about my own hello kitty obsession. i’m 28 yrs old and a phD student in women’s studies and sociology and go to class with notebooks i made myself decorated with hello kitty. my gameboy, my xbox controlers, and way to much other stuff have hello kitty stickers stuck to them. my boyfriend thinks it’s cute, but i know he also cringes because it seems so darned unprofessional. best and keep it up!!!!!!!!!!
I never comment because honestly, the posts are all pretty much the same. But I still read because it’s still funny.
Long time lurker, first time commenting! Good Luck!
Poor Sanrio. Lucky you!
even though i am a hello kitty fan, i read your blog every day & think it’s hilarious.
(i hope you have to take your wife on the HK trip
i am a lurker, coming out for a good cause. love the blog, it makes me laugh! and, i look at HK in a whole different light now.
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.
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… ^^;
Hope you make a lot of kids happy!
just doing my bit to help
ty for the fantabulous blog, even if i like HK (but only her cartooness. don’t like plush she looks eerily creepy like that to me. not perfect) lol!!
anyway, good luck with the 1000 comments!!!!
Love the blog, great thing your doing here. Both the blog, and charity:) Im a hardcore Hello Kitty lover though! I check it daily and i like to show my husband what he’s missing out on, haha. I even have people trained at work to but he HK product up front if they get it in. Have a great day.
Heh. I have the RSS feed on my feedreader, I think that counts as being a regular reader.
Good luck! Looks like… what, 60-some toys so far?
first time commenting/long-time reading.
Love the blog and the Hello Kitty toy donation.
Hey, what a great cause. Good luck!
I come here to read darlene’s comments! She is kindo Cuckoo o_O
Eeeps!!!
Hi everybody ^_^
Love this blog. Good Luck!
All these allusions to HK confused me for a bit there. Why are you all so fascinated with Hong Kong, it’s j–oh.
I like Hello Kitty, but people tend to take things way too far. The stuff you post on your site is proof.
Make sure your wife sends her biggest Hello Kitty stuffed animal to the orphans. =)
All too happy to temporarily de-lurk for two good causes.
Sounds like an awesome cause.
I usually just read and don’t comment (I get the RSS feed on my email), but this time it’s worth it.
Good luck!
for the love of god…donate your hello kitty crap!
Your wife should donate to charity just for the sake of donating…not because of how many comments one receives!
this is such a great thing!
Aww, that’s so cute! It’s nice of your wife to be doing that for you…
While I haven’t commented before now I do have your blog in my RSS feeds and read every new update! While I like Hello Kitty there are many, many posts here that even I just go “WTF?!” Hope you get all 1,000 comments!
I’ve only posted 1 other comment I normally read to give me a laugh. I hope you get to pick which 200 items.
Thanks for giving me the splendid opportunity to ever-so-slightly de-Kittify your house. It is not often that one is presented with a chance to directly improve a fellow human’s wellbeing and sanity.
Hey, do you have any Cinnamoroll items in your house? You live in Tokyo.. right?
Good luck on your noble mission.
Good luck with your 200 items, BUT! im thinking of how happy those kids will be to receive some hello kitty goodness in their lives, YAY!
I enjoy the site. Hope you make your goal.
~Jade
I didn’t think it was possible for someone to have 200 hello kitty items. Let alone be all toys and still have some to spare! Crazy!
Love the blog – haven’t commented until now – doing it for the kids!!!!!
Another lurker/non-commenter. I hope you reach your goal — after reading through your archives and recommending your site to friends and relatives, I think you deserve to shed some of the HK things in your house! Good luck!
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.)
….lol! when those kids get the hello kitty stuff their place is going look like she threw up in it!
Well, I’m torn. I’d want the Hello Kitty vacation, but I think the kids are a bit more important.
Good luck!
Okay, I’ve read this blog for a long time and never posted. And while I AM a fan of HK, I think you’re a strong man, cause even I couldn’t deal with so much of it. Good luck!
Heres hoping for no hello kitty trip, gl.
I’m a Hello Kitty fan, but still, go, do it! Get to 500!
omg! i love hk and love this blog as well!
This is the first post I read and my first visit, I like HK but the few items that I have were all gifts so I’ll leave a comment just because I think the post is hilarious
I’ll be stealing your feed :-p
Tell her the Hello Kitty vibrator needs to stay, but the rest of it can go.
I adore Hello Kitty and I’m sure your wife’s sacrifice will make some orphans very happy! I think she start packing some things up ’cause it looks like she’s got some donating to do
Wow! THis was too good to pass up! I check this blog EVERYDAY! I am a die hard hello kitty fan, but reading this blog has caused me to realize the torture i’m inflicting on everyone around me. I’m active duty Air Force and I used to decorate my overhead with nothing but Pink and Hello Kitty. It got to the point where folks decided that they couldn’t beat me, so they joined me and started adding things to my overhead Kittly collection! This blog satisfies my Kitty craving, and now I don’t buy as much HK stuff. I CALL IT KITTY THERAPY!!!! Keep up the awesome work, and I might be able to de-kittify my 7 year old daughter!
Great idea! Good luck!
Long time reader, first time poster (and Hello Kitty lover – sorry
). Good luck!
Yay, orphans!
good luck with that!
o man i understand. my mom is 48 and obsessed with hello kitty. she acts like a 5 year old when she gets around something hello kitty. i really dont get it.
Toys for the Kids!
GO!
Another RSS subscriber delurking for the cause. Good luck to you!
Here’s to another Hello Kitty item gone! Glad to help a good cause – well 2 good causes really!
I’m a recent reader and this is my first time commenting. Good luck!
Great idea! Through this blog I’ve realized the great power of Hello Kitty’s evilness and have gotten many of friends to feel the same way.
Almost half way..
Good luck!!
i like hello kitty but i enjoy reading what you write. i hope this helps.
It’s not often I come out of lurking, but this is such a good cause I have to!
Love your blog…but love hello kitty more! Good Luck! >.<
PS… kind of want you to go on the Kitty trip…so you will have more crap to write
God be with you, my friend.
Haha, I’m a huge Hello Kitty fan (yes, I’m one of the freaks who actually has a tattoo and everything) and I’ve had this blog on an RSS feed for a long time. 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!
I still can’t believe she has 200 Hello Kitty items lying around to donate :O Get those things the Hell out of there! …especially since they’re going to such a good cause.
Good luck, man…
Viva la blog!
Another reader coming out in support..:)
I have to say, I loved Hello Kitty as a child, but as an adult I find it very annoying. What’s even more annoying is other adults with Hello Kitty products. They are made for children, so let’s give ’em to the kids already!
First time comment – good luck with dumping toys!
let’s ship those toys out ;x it’s going towards a very good cause
Hope this ends well for you
And hereby the evil feline serves a true purpose!!!!
Best wishes
I used to LOVE Hello Kitty. Then I turned 7.
I’ll help!
Here’s to decreasing Hello Kitty Hell, even if only by a little.
I am subscribed to HKH via RSS, but I’m dropping by to comment and do my part to get those toys to the kids.
You’ve got all my support! Hope you can make it
My boyfriend got me, a Hello Kitty fan(atic), hooked on your blog! Love it
finally being a lurker pays off! Good luck, from a recovering HK addict…
<3 xox thanks for your blog it makes my weeks better xoxo<3
How self serving … Inflicting HK of unsuspecting children. But this deserves my 1st blog comment from my iPhone.
I, as your wife, am absolutely obsessed with Hello Kitty. But I admit..I like reading your blog and find amusement in your displeasure with all things Hello Kitty. I’ll help you get rid of these toys..in the end..we’re doing it for the kids!
I love to read your blog, but I never would comment due to the drama even IN the comments.
How posting can lead to helping a Kid’s Charity, I would do it, and that’s why I’m posting.
I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad you MIGHT be going on a trip this August.
This is my first comment here. Great blog! Good luck and keep it up!
I randomly found this site yesterday searching tattoos and saw so many creepy Hello Kitty tattoos! I always thought it was cute, but now I just find it insaneee. Anyway, good luck with the donating of Hello Kitty toys!
here’s 1 more post!
good luck!
I have to admit that I happen to love Hello Kitty, but from what I’ve read here, your wife takes it WAY over the top. You’re a great guy for putting up with all of it. My boyfriend would lose his mind if I filled the house with all that stuff.
Here’s my contribution, hopefully the toys will make those kids smile.
there are going to be a lot of happy orphans
This is so very sweet. Donating toys would be nice =]
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.
Mind you, this 1000 comments thingy is helping spread your name. This is your first post I´ve read, and I think I´m gonna keep reading.
But why would you give something you absolutely hate and that makes your life hell to orphans?
Wow, ever since i saw you sight i thought:
HK is waaaaaay out of control.
Persona;;y, i perfer the cute little anime mascots.
kyoto sent me. so happy hunting:)
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!
Well, this is probably the easiest charity work I have ever done! Whee! LAWL
hello kitty i adore thee!
i like hello kitty but not to the point where everything i own is hello kitty. i do want to make a fieldtrip to puroland in tokyo before i die though. good luck, i hope you reach 1000!
Awesome
I hope you make it!
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.
My daughter sent me this website and I absolutely love it! I lurk a lot but I’d be glad to help you out!
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!
I check your blog everyday. You’re almost halfway to 1000!
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.
Your blog has provided many moments of hilarity for me. Hope you reach your goal!
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.
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.
HELLO KITTY HAS NO MOUTH
goodluck!
i read your blog every day!!!!! i love it!!!!! i have commented once or twice before. make your woman donate her stuff!!its worth it to see a child smile!
eesh! my 11 year old says you have his pity. Good luck reaching the goal – wifey will be happier if she clears out the lesser artifacts.
Been reading for a while, but never commented.
I am glad that my comment can help relieve you of some Hello Kitty, but also gain some karma points for helping the kids.
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 =)
hello
I love your blog and hello kitty too
Great cause! Good luck reaching a 1000!
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.
=]] Best of luck.
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.
Anything for the kids… =]
Love the blog, keep it up. =D
(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!
I am normally too struck dumb by the horror to comment! Yet I still find Hello Kitty cute sometimes? IT’S A DISEASE.
*back to lurking*
I’m another who reads but doesn’t ever comment! Good luck getting your 1000 comments! (you’re about half way there as of right now, assuming not too many people double-commented)
i love HK, but i love your blog also bc you’re life is hilarious. good luck!!!
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.
This is great- I got this link sent to me by a friend who’s a fan of your blog… I’m sending it on too.
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
I followed a link to your blog. I wish you the best of luck in your efforts on behalf of the orphans.
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!
This is a great idea and everyone wins! ^_^
I was an orphan for 6 months in Korea…I wish I received some Hello Kitty stuff…So, I am posting for the kids!!!
for the kids!
i read regularly, never commented before!
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.
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!!!!
<3
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…
Well done. Good luck with the toy drive!
Good luck!
I shall make my boyfriend comment.
And… keep up the blog.
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
Ah yes, Hello Kitty…
They are slowly trying to infect the entire world! Like Furbies! or McDonalds!
Burnz em all, I says!
toys are good. Hello Kitty toys are better!
I feel for you, and I have no problem helping you to lessen your amount of torture.
This is a great cause, and a great blog. Fingers crossed for 1000+
You’ve mentioned you’ll forgive rite even if the comments are positive (and no cursing me with bad luck k…. ;D)?
So here’s my comment for your sake….”I LOVE HELLO KITTYYYY!!!!!”
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!
good luck!!!
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…
good luck!
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!
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
I am a long time lurker, I love reading your blog, this is my first comment.
This is great what your wife is doing for the kids, I hope you get 1,000 comments! 
I love HK. This site makes me want to move to Japan so I can get lots more of my darling kitty. <3
Good luck!
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.
Itty bitty kind and pretty! >^..^<
Another commet I have to goto hello kitty world under threat of death to get HK items I fell your pain
I check your site everyday but never comment. I like hello kitty but your site is so funny…i know my whole family feels like you.
I love HK and I bet those kids would love them too! I am saving up for a trip to Japan for school, but I’m definitely going to take some time to scout out HK stuff.
Somewhat new reader but props to you for collecting the donations. Keep it up!
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.
Good Luck!
xD goodluck haha.
she should at least be willing to give SOME up.
haha.
i mean its for a good cause? xD
first time commenting [=
First time commenter here. I also enjoy Hello Kitty but love this blog – it’s too funny! Keep doing what you’re doing!
I love your website!! I check in almost daily, but have never posted before. I loved HK as a kid in the 70’s, and I love her still, but your site is hilarious. Those kids will love whatever your wife donates to them!
I can’t remember if I’ve commented before because I still have new baby brain (and the baby is 8 months old…). Hopefully I can be considered new and I’ll help you reach 1000 unique comments!
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 =]
good luck!
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…
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.
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!
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 !
Cool! I think this is comment #557.
I hope you break 1000!
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?
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.
Hey, I read this site all the time. And you are completely right. I never comment because I’m speechless.
Just thought that now would be the right time to tell you
have a great day
good luck!
I’ve “delurked” for this good cause. I love HK, but a little creeped out by the strange things you and others have found. Good luck in reaching 1,000!
I visit really everyday, to see if there is anything new.
1 or 2 time comment-er
;D Good Luck!
Working towards 1000!
This is one of my favourite feeds because it scares me in a way very few things do. And I kinda like the HK machine.
Weird.
Kim.
ps. You are both doing something great here. Thank you!
Hello!
I’ve got nothing to say here but I wanted to contribute.. good luck!!
Aww, since it’s for a good cause…
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.
I love hello kitty but i check this website everyday, because its funny and shows hello kitty items I’ve never heard of……….
Comment! ( ” – ” )
Good luck!
I can’t believe you are going to do this to a bunch of helpless orphans!!!! THey already have no parents – they don’t need hello stinking kitty crap!
I also visit your site most days – it is a ray of (cynical and spiteful) sunshine in my workday!!!
I hope this helps you make your life in hell a little easier.
Good luck!
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!
good luck
Here’s to the success of your toy drive for the orphanage! Good luck!
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.
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?)
Hey, dare I say it, for a curmudgeon, you have a big heart, even if it isn’t soft, pink and sparkly! Great idea! Good luck!
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.
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!
Lurker here. This makes blog makes me smile and I hope HK will be used for a good cause!
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.
my first comment, for a great cause.
I am one of those readers who: “just read and never comment…“because everything is so ridiculous that it makes them speechless””
I hope the kids enjoy all their new HK toys.
Ok, I too am drawn out of lurkdom for the greater good of the children (and your mental health).
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
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
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.
xx Maja
First comment from me! I like all Hello Kitty stuff but also your blog. I can understand your feelings, as my male friends seem to react similarly to my HK enthusiasm, although it is nothing compared to your wife’s
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.
Best of luck!
Hi, I’ve never left a comment before but I am a loyal reader of this blog because I am a Hello Kitty fan. I know that by writing this time, I am helping to spread the HK love to those orphans. Good luck!
Well done!
I’we been reading this blog silently for ages. I love the evil feline even more since I learnd of her wicked dark side!
Lets get her the hell out of your house and screw upp some small kids with some hello hitty hell of their own!
//Carmella from sweden
Hello… I’ve been reading this blog since the beginning of the year. (I was looking to buy a Hello Kitty stapler for a friend even though I can’t really stand the feline menace myself).
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.
I always read your blog (sorry to let you know this, but I love Hello Kitty and you’re a great source for new Hello Kitty stuff!) but I never left a comment before. You and your wife are very generous and I hope this comment helps make those children happy
Oh, it would be nice to see some picture of your wife donating Hello Kitty stuff to the children
COMMENTING!!
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.
i’ve come across your blog several times in the past and every time i’ve given it a read, it has always amused me.
my girlfriend is also a hello kitty fan, but fortunately not to the extent of your wife LOL!
although your wife is getting rid of all this stuff, chances are she will find more stuff to fill the spaces she’s just created haha
Here is my comment <3
I’m sure there will be alot more comments coming up ^^
I am one of those people reading but not commenting.
Hope those other people comment!
Way to go Sanrio. The character you created lives on, even after 34 years.
Good luck! I’m sure the kids will appreciate all those toys!
I love hello kitty stuff but nowhere NEAR the vicinity in which your wife resides.
Your blog is a fun read and I hope you get the number of comments you need!
I must confess I love HK, and have quite a lot of rubbish. However, I cannot believe the amount of crap that actually exists and that your poor wife puts you through the hell she does. You have my sympathies.
Having said that, I love the blog – it just stupifies me what nonsense will be brought out next!! Like many others, I sit in wonder and don’t make any comments either!
Okay, whatever you say….
584 achtungg! I can’t believe you are purging the kitties from their Kittyland…losing the war?
There once was a man who was swell
Who lived in a sure kind of hell
Living with an overload kitty
He thought what pity
That the orphans can’t have some as well!!!
So, lets make it happen!!!
I’m a HK fan, one of the original ones (remember way back when…) Yet I can appreciate when someone goes overboard! Hope those toys find their way to special kids!
I love Hello Kitty but since im only 13, I dont get to buy all the Hello Kitty toys I want lol
I hope lots of people comment so you can giv toys to children who need them
Another who reads but doesn’t comment usually – good luck!
lets make it 1000 people !!
While I do love Hello Kitty, I am not a fanatic, and me and my Devil Dog absolutely laugh our buns off every time we read your comments about life in Hello Kitty Hell.
If we ever end up in Japan, could we drop by for a visit? I would just love to see your wife’s collection.
I promise to bring non-Hello Kitty food….
Once more unto the breach.
Ahoy! Yup. Just helping out.
I comment to help you out,
I am still a bit upset that you didn’t publish my picture of the Hello kitty Smart Car that I sent you but anyway I understand that hello kitty is hell and that you do not want you wife to persued you to by a Smart car and have it turn in a hello kitty hell car.
Cheers,
I read your blog all the time. I’m a huge Hello Kitty fan. Yes, I have a HK tattoo to prove it. Good luck w/ the toy drive. Your wife can start her collection all over again once the donation is made.
Long Live Hello Kitty!
Fight the good fight,mate!
hi. im from denmark so sorry for the bad spelling.
im not af fan of hello kitty but i like to suport you in your course, so heres my comment.
good luck.
Tea
Well it’s over 600 already, so getting there!
I like HK but i think ur wifes gone a bit overboard and should give the toys away anyway!!! =] PS luv ur blog, check it every day
I am one of your readers who just read and never comment.
I actually like HK and most Sanrio Characters. Your blog amuses me and also helps me to keep a grip on HK reality. Because of you my other half does not live in HK Hell.
I commend your wife on her brave sacrifice! It will be hard to part with 200 pieces from your HK collection, but it’s for a really really good cause. The kids need toys.
Thanks for a great blog. Keep up the good work!
Hey, what a great idea! Well I’ve been reading your blog everyday for a few months now – every since I was searching for a new Hello kitty steering wheel cover and ran across it. lol…love the site though. Luckily, my boyfriend puts up with my Hello Kitty “attachment” fairly well…and of course loves the site also…probably for different reasons.
Hello Kitty should be shared with everyone, especially children.
I’m one of the readers that just read and never comment.
Mon devoir est accompli désormais. Je retourne dans l’ombre…
I read but never comment, so here you go. Get those HK toys to some orphans! Good luck!
I read the posts all the time and think I have only commented one or two times. Mostly lurk unless something really requires my two cents. But I definately think HK should be shared with the kids.
I love your blog! I also love HK, but I can see why some people don’t like her. I never comment, but I have your site tagged and read it almost everyday.
Probably my first comment i think, but I’ve been reading the blog for a long, long time
Love your site. I had a hello kitty washcloth back when I was 8. Then I grew out of the fad.
Oh you poor man. I know exactly how you feel about HK; I live in fear that my toddler will discover it and there will be no escape.
I am obsessed with Hello Kitty and love it probably as much if not more then your wife. I usually just read this blog so I can learn about new HK things out there! But since this is for a good cause I will comment. I hope you realize once she gets all that stuff out of the house it is just an excuse for her to buy more!
OMG hello kitty sucks shes sooo sweet its auctually sickening
and now u can get hello kitty clothes in most of the shops in Northern Ireland …so Northern Ireland is full of kids teenagesr and (most worringly),adults wearing hello kitty socks underwear shoes makeup and god only knows wat else
I’m one of your frequent readers, but I rarely ever post. I think that it is nice of your wife to donate some of the toys per your “bet” even if this doesn’t reach 1000 comments. It goes to show she’s a fair sport. =p
Send those toys!
i check the site everyday, just dont get around to comment!
Hi, I’m Kylie from Australia and yes the Hello Kitty stupidity does leave me speachless.
Good luck to whoever has to count up the comments :3
Cheers
im a lurker
I love Hello Kitty, but I often come here and read cause I need some laughs
You have a good sense of humour and you’re great at describing any situation you may come across.
I hope you get loads of comments for the kids! Such a sweet thing to do in true Hello Kitty-spirit ;P
I love Hello Kitty! So spread the love and give some up!
While it is for a good cause to help the kids. I can’t help but feel your are corrupting the youth.
good luck!
The racing leathers made me laugh until stuff came down my nose.but my BF saw the wrestling mask and now wants one.
errr – not sure how I feel abt the trauma of giving away part of the collection >< but its all for good I guess =) share the love? *lol*
I love reading your blog! I stumbled on this a few months ago and have been glued ever since! It’s SO fun to see what new monstrous creations that HK can come up with. I have a small liking for hello kitty which is getting killed by your blog. Hope that makes you happy!
I’ll admit to being amused by youmg women in their 20s with a Hello kitty purse or backpack. Beyond that, “Kill the Kitty”.
I read this, but I just never comment on it. Everything to say has already been said.
Here’s to you cleaning out your house of Hello Kitty!
I LOVE your blog – it always puts a smile on my face!
I was introduced to your blog by a friend of mine and I sincerely pity your plight. So this comment goes up with two causes in mind: For the kids! And to spare you as many extra HK lying around the house!
wow, quite a lot of comments already…
so here’s mine as well ^^
I didn’t want to do this but my kitty is chewing on my ankle. Good luck!!
New commenter, longtime reader. The saying goes, “charity begins at home” and I can’t think of a better type of charity than making a child happy. May the feline of your nightmares be the gift to bring a child’s smile to life!
i love hello kitty but i also love your blog so i’m torn.
but anything to help out a good cause.
Until this post, I didn’t realize that you truly were living in Hello Kitty Hell. I thought your stories were fabricated, good but fabricated. I like HK but a little bit goes a long way. Oh ya, those kids are going to love them so HK toys!
hi! i read your website everyday but havnt commented before and thought this would be the perfect time. What your doing to help the kids is awesome and i will happily do my part to get them more toys!
You’re right. I’m one of those people who don’t leave a comment and just look at your posts. I like checking Hello Kitty stuff that you normally wouldn’t find on Sanrio’s website. Despite your anti Hello Kitty feelings my boyfriends puts up with it very well. He loves my cuteness and Hello Kitty furthers my cuteness ^_^
Yet I couldn’t help but comment for a good cause. So I hope this helped.
comment!
I want to say… This is just plain wrong.. but it’s too darn funny – Great job w/ the site!
I do love the HK. But I also love clearing out clutter. Oh, and helping orphans. That’s cool, too.
good luck&I hope you wife makes lots of little kids happy with all those HK toys she’s going to be giving away.
Isn’t it a little cruel to give Hello Kitty toys to orphans? Doesn’t it perpetuate the cycle of Hello-Kitty brainwashing? At the same time, I’m sure they will appreciate it, no matter how twisted it may be. And your house will have more room for MORE Hello Kitty crap. Anyway, thanks for posting!
Go to it! Sanrio recently opened a shop in my current town of residence (Lima, Peru) and you would not believe how into that the locals are. (Like flies on a…well. you get the idea.) I saw a grown woman the other day carrying a furry pink hello kitty purse bigger than she was! And did you know, Hello Kitty has gotten realistic?
Good luck buddy. I don’t think I could deal with there being 200 Hello Kitty items in my house let alone having to go on a Hello Kitty vacation… some of the stuff is cool, but really. ::shudder::
Good Morning: This is the first time I’ve written in, although I have read the blog for at least a year. I’m glad that your wife is willing to part with some of her HK toys for charity, I can imagine how hard it is for her! Enjoy the freedom of 200 less HK toys!
lurk lurk
I love Hello Kitty, but also love this site. I like seeing the quirky things plastered with her face, but I totally understand how annoying it can get.
I’d hate to part with any of my HK collection, but this is a good cause. I lurk, never comment, but I want to help the kids gets toys. Hello Kitty toys would be better.
Hooray for a good cause (and getting rid of HK toys)!
Good luck getting these toys to kids!
oh poor wife….
it seems that she has to give away a loooot of stuff!!!
i’m quite sorry….but not so much!!
greetings from italy!
nena
My goodness! 630 comments already! nice. I love hello kitty, but I also appreciate a man with a goal. Besides, them Japanese kids would love nothing better than HK toys, right?
helping out a good cause ! :]
Ok, I’d better do my good deed for the day, and help HKH Man get rid of some of his wife’s HK stuff. Even though I’m one of the “core group” I hope my comment counts. Sorry I’ve been away for so long guys…. it’s wedding season!
Toys for orphans can only be good.
Hope you win!
Greetings, long time reader first time commenter. I guess your wife may have underestimated the great silent majority. You blog is an excellent record of one incarnation’s trail across a consumerism dominated marketplace (oh and the effects of how effective brainwashing really is). Good luck, I hope that you reach 1000 comments.
Yippee! Toys!
Your blog is very entertaining.
Hi,
– 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 
I honestly never commented before but I visit your website very often
Keep on doing what you do – it’s great!
Greetings from Germany,
Vici
Ok, get rid of the hello kitty carp now!
We’re rooting for you down here in Marietta, GA!
What in the name of all that is holy did those poor japanese orphans do to deserve such a horrible fate. just kidding. I discovered this blog from a link on Jen’s blog “1000timesno.net” Good luck. our thoughts are with you.
Hello Kitty is proud of you!
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.
I’d be happy to comment on this blog, but I’m afraid that someone might find out that I’m actually reading this. So, sorry, no comment from me.
Long-time reader, first-time commenter. Keep it up!
i’m commenting.
right
now
It’s for the shorties! Good luck.
i’ve never commented either, but I am a regular visitor. It certainly would be nice to share the hello kitty love with needy children!
Hope this action wouldn´t be a deasaster for you.
When your Wife give her Toys away, she´ll have place for new stuff.
Good luck! It sounds like a great cause for everyone involved.
first time commenting… for a good cause! haha
I love reading your entries; so please keep them coming. Long time reader and first time commenter, good luck with this plan.
I’ve never left a comment here before – Donations, baby!
I’m not sure if I commented on this or not but good luck with the plan and yes I’m a first time commenter; long time reader and an avid fan of hello kitty but with a sense of humor.
I saw recently that Hello Kitty invaded Andorra. If small countries aren’t safe, are we next?
This is my first time reading this blog but I will keep reading..if only to find out how you survive in a house that has an extra 200 toys to be donated. Yikes…I can’t even imagine…
i read all the time, but never comment. its a good cause, so here i go…
I might have commented once or twice before… if so, I am sorry I did not save myself for this post to be a new commenter.
Best of luck getting the 1000 comments
Oh very much worth it.
I’ve been wandering around on this site and I just saw the Hello Kitty motorcycle. Man that’s awful. And on such a nice bike, too. For shame…
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!
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!

Love the evil feline, love your site! I’m only too happy to help towards a worthy cause–yours and the orphan kiddies! I feel good already! Think I’ll gets me another HK trinket….
Rock on!
wow these are the most comments ive ever seen
wish u luck – send us pictures of the 200 things donated when you get there!
Devoted reader, but never commented. Let’s do it for the kids (and your sanity)!
I commented a few times on your blog, but I mostly just like to read.
Good luck!
Best of luck!
I’ve thought about commenting, but never wanted to give you more fuel for fire. Good luck with the charity work! This is wonderful!
I like to read, but I often have nothing to say aside from “OH MY GOD.” Nevertheless, I hope you succeed in your endeavor. Heil-o Kitty must go!
good luck an count me in
Love your blog. Always a good time! Good Luck!
haha heres another post to aid to your goal. When you really think about it though is donating all those hello kitty toys really good? By donating those toys to the impressionable children you’re helping creating future hello kitty addicts. Just kidding, thats really nice of your wife to give to the orphans. Hopefully you reach the 1000 so you don’t have to endure that hell of a trip
good luck!
Hi.
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.
I love this sight because I laugh every time I read it and I get to see all the new things I want to buy.
I will send this link to all my HK loving and hating friends.
Good luck!!
i read this all the time, this is my first comment though.
good luck.
I love this site, and this is a great idea. Darlene, fight the good fight.
If I pretend to be an orphan can I have a transformer sewing machine? Good luck, etc etc.
Love the blog. I’m a kitty fan, and I have a boyfriend who is very against it. Even though I love kitty, I understand that her empire is just a little too out of control. Good luck with getting toys for the kiddies!
I read your blog regularly but have not commented before. I am amazed how Hello Kitty has so many admirers. i am not one of them. Hope you get 2000 comments.
Not that I know why those poor homeless kids would need any HK stuff… but I support you in your fight against the evil feline, I myself have a friend who’s quite hooked and… it’s pretty damn annoying!! Good luck.
One of my favorite blogs, your commentary is quite amusing so I just had to comment and help your cause!
Good for orphans, good for you, bad for wife. 2 out of 3 ain’t bad. ;D
I post once in a while. I will attempt to get other folks to post here as well. And it’s already around 700 comments? SWEET!
Luck with that even if you dont reach 1000 she may not throw out her toys
I’m new, I count! Also, any chance to lessen the Hell our dear blog-host suffers is something I’ll gladly take. Good luck!
Hi
I confess: I’ve been reading your blog (and even linking to it on my own (dutch) blog) for quite a while, but I’ve never commented before.. And even though I think this is a really cool’project’, I kinda feel sorry for your wife, I see she has quite a few Hello Kitty toys to give up!
Helping the orphans!
i was torn because i really want to see pictures from your trip to Puroland! but by giving children hello kitty toys they have the opportunity to grow into hello kitty addicts themselves and i’m all for that! i read your blog often and i even link to it from my own blog. i will send my friends to comment, but only for the children!!
love your blog.
hope this helps in digging you out of your hello kitty hell…
HK is yucky!
i just wana say i feel for you i know how it is to be over run by sumthing in my case its harry potter lol well i hope everything works out and i will be spreading the word
Our entire family reads your blog on a regular basis but we have yet to comment. Given the challenge to help a good cause we couldn’t help but post. Tell your wife that this post should count as 3. There is myself, my wife, and our daughter (who first showed us your site).
comment for the orphans!
I came to your site by way of Jen in Philly. I read of your plight and rushed right over to help out. Good luck with your mouthless kitty purge!
lovin your work
Just helping the cause. I torture my brother with Hello Kitty. I made over his bathroom in Hello Kitty decor when he was out!
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.
i read all the time… but have never commented. this site is hilarious. hello kitty isn’t that bad, but it is funny what the name is put on nowadays.
i’m waiting for my hello kitty table saw…..
I support this. I think HK is only good in very small doses.
I read the blog constantly but have been too lazy to comment. But since is for a good cause made a comment. ^^ That aside.I love reading your blog even tho I’m a bit HK crazy. (but not at fanatic level) Keep up the blog!! iT’s so entertaining! ^^v
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…)
Anyway, this is my 0.1% contribution towards your worthy goal. Best of luck with the un-cluttering agenda!
Robert
The fact that your wife is at all willing to give up 200 HK items is a real testament to how much must be in your house.
I wish your wife would create her own blog so we can BUY her Hello Kitty stuff. It should be called //www.kittyheaven.com.
I’m sure that the Hello Kitty will make the orphans happier than you’d ever be! :]
Wow, what a great thing to do! I usually don’t comment, because I’m awestruck by the HK items, either in wonder or in horror.
I am a lurker. Love your blog… I hope you hit 1000!!!
Long time reader, first time poster. I have to admit that I’m a hello kitty fan, but the amount of crazy stuff that is out there is a bit over the top. I hope that you reach your 1000 and rid your house of some of the hello kitty overkill you live in
Jen said to say hello!
First of all I LOVE HK!
and secound I think its lovely what your doing!!!!
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.
first time comment….granted that it would be AMAZING for you to go on a trip because I think you secretly like hello kitty…. looks like shes going to be eating her words.
get those kids some toys!
^_^
though one would think you wouldn’t want to subject the innocent children of japan to even more hello kitty than they already encounter on a daily basis….
Your blog is hilarious, sir, and I am one of those lurking readers that does not comment. I’ve never really liked HK, but after reading of your torment, I truly feel your pain.
So helping you get rid of some HK merch from your home and helping out some orphanages is just the right thing to bring me to comment!
Keep up the good work, man.
Here’s my comment
I read your blog via rss, and look forward to every new installment recording the prolific existence of the horror that is Hello Kitty.
i only read this once in a while [mostly to turn me off of hello kitty even more. XP she’s no good. thanks for pointing that out. lol] but since it’s for 2 good causes, i’ll help. ^^ your almost there!!! good luck de-kittyfying your house.
I thought I was Kitty obsessed but your wife must be a billion times more obsessed. I only collect the Kittys that I like, not every darn Kitty thing out there!
Love your blog, it keeps me laughing about the absurdity of Sanrio and their anything to make a buck mentality with Hello Kitty on it!
Give up the toys for this great cause woman!
Long time reader, first time commenting. I read all your posts and frequent your blog. I just never take the time to comment. I hope your wife holds up her end of the deal.
send it all away!
Since I do own some HK stuff and it always makes me feel bad, because I might end up like your wife and make my boyfriend misrable, I take this as a chance to make my HK sins up.
I feel for you!!! If we save you, then we all have hope!
+1
Good luck!
I think you deserve a bit of extra space made possible by the removal of kitty items!
I hope you get a nice big U-haul to donate all of the kitty toys :3

Helping a fellow HK sufferer avoid what could quite possibly the single most excruciating time of his life: Priceless
I’ve commented a few times, but hardly enough to be considered part of the “core” group.
Mrs. HKH, thank you for being willing to part with your treasures for the sake of those orphaned children.
Mr. HKH, hang in there old man, and try to stay off of the couch, OK?
I’m one of those readers who loves hello kitty, but religiously reads your blog with the ability to keep a sense of humor and empathy for your plight to a kittyless life. What a nice thing to do….but aren’t you afraid this will clear out room for all new items? Better hurry and replace it all with other things…don’t you have something you like to collect? Better start buying!
i love your blog. i love hello kitty and this just shows me even more hello kitty things to be obsessed with that i would never see anywhere else. i would not have known a hello kitty land actually exised if it wasn’t for this sight, now it’s one of my life goals to go. never posted before. and i think this whole toy drive thingy is so sweet.
I think its very sweet of you and your nice to be doing this!!^^
& I love your blog, although I do love Hello Kitty(:
I read Hello Kitty Hell almost every day but I think I have only commented once before.
Good luck on reaching 1000 comments.
I hope you reach 1000 comments!
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.
~~~One of said RSS readers (via LiveJournal)
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.
im a new poster
I am sure your wife is thinking about all the new HK stuff she will get room for if she gets rid of some of the older items. But I am sure that the kiddies will be happy
As a girl who has an intense dislike of things similar to Hello Kitty, I feel your pain. One of my roommates is in love with all things Disney and all things pink. She’s particularly happy when those two interests collide.
God help you and me.
I love Hello Kitty and wouldn’t want your wife to give up her stuff BUT… well, they’re orphans. So they win.
Love the site! Keep up the good work. It’s fun to see what Kitty’s got her face on next.
i read but have only commented maybe once…
even though i’m one of those crazy hello kitty lovers, i enjoy your blog and think you’re hilarious.
Because of this blog, I don’t think I will never get my niece (who is currently 11 months old) a Hello Kitty toy.
Well, time to get those toys to the orphanages!
Normally I don´t comment on weblogs, but for only once I make an exception.
I am almost professional blog lurker. I read several each day but NEVER comment on any of them… but this was too good of a cause!
Good Bye Kitty!
(Yeah, it’s not that original, but it’s a comment.)
love your blog i do,
love hello kitty as well
give it all away
Hello, I’m from Austin, Tx and I love the kitty!!! This is the first time I post a comment, but I’ve been reading HKH for a while now. Great idea and good luck prying those items away from your wife! Cheers!
To keep people from stealing my pipetors and tube racks in the lab, I mark them with Hello Kitty stickers.
Giving things away that you don’t need – to those who do – is good karma.
How many comments are you up to?
I think your blog is pretty funny, even though I grew up loving HK
I believe in you! I love this site, mostly because of all the ridiculous HK stuff out there, but also for your sarcasm and bravery.
I catch up on your blog about once a month and am always amazed at the Hello Kitty stuff that’s available. It makes me laugh. It makes me cry. It makes my husband nuts when I call him over again and again to see the wonderful strangeness that you post.
So here’s a comment toward another toy for the orphans, and good luck with avoiding the Hello Kitty hell of the *shudder* trip. I’ll post a link to this thread in my blog and hopefully some of my friends will lend a hand too.
Bless you and your hello kitty donating ways!

Saving a fellow sufferer in HKH from what could quite possibly be the most Excruciating time in his life: priceless
ive read your site a couple times… maybe more than that… i never commented though. some things you say just make me laugh. = ]
butttt… since its for a good cause im commenting… what little kid would love a hello kitty toy?
i want to send my hello kitty stuff to japan too. it’s just too overwhelming now. if you want we can do a hello kitty toy drive. I kinda liked hello kitty making me a target for all sorts of inane crap and now i live in hello kitty hell.
I always read your site but I´m always too lazy to comment..I am obsessed with HK but I do find your site incredibly amuzing..and I think your wife is insane..granted I like Hello Kitty but Id rather die before having everythng in my apt. be hello kitty..plus I respect my bf and his right to live in a normal apt.
Hope this helps the kids!
Wow, I never knew there was so much bizarre HK stuff out there. Here’s to giving kids some of the less bizarre items!
I love the blog, read it all the time. Hope you can get rid of the 200 toys : ]
figured what the heck. might as well have the place bookedmarked, love to see what the hello kitty makers come up with!
Been reading for a while, second time commenting I loved HK when I was younger (age 7 or so) until I became an adult. I still think some of the stuff is kind of cute but wouldn’t buy any of it. Love the blog and this is such a great idea for charity. You are the coolest.
This is the first time I’ve commented!
I’m new.
Boo commercialism, yay buying what makes you happy, and three cheers for making kids happy!
What a wonderful thing to do for the orphanage. I love the challenge between yourself and your wife. Good thinking! Although I don’t know how nice it is to subject a group of orphaned children to the hell that is Hello Kitty. Best of luck in ridding your home of 200 hellish items.
I can’t imagine even wanting most of the hello kitty stuff on this site, and I have the curling iron, milkshake maker, and hair dryer.
Hi there! I love HK and your site, all for a good cause! I hope you reach the 1000 comments and say bye-bye to some HK stuff.
I never comment but stop by weekly. I love the Hello Kitty (within reason. stop laughing) and my finacee hates the whole thing– sound familiar?
Anyway, thanks for the great blog!
While I’ll occasionally purchase some Hello Kitty stuff, there is such a thing as too much. This is certainly it. I salute you, sir, for somehow managing to retain your sanity.
I have to admit your blog keeps me from tormenting my husband further with my love of Hello Kitty and it lets him know that it could be oh so much worse than it is.
Thanks for the laughs, too.
This is such a great cause! :]
200 toys is small compared to the sheer amount of crap you have shown us but it is a nice start. If we didn’t all have the same ip address, I would have everyone in my family comment.
Just thought I’d do my part to help kis get toys and save you from cutesy pink torture. No one deserves that.
This blog is one of the highlights of my day. Hope you all get to 1,000!
My fiance loves HK too… I actually feed into her obsession sadly, (she even blames me for it), but I can’t talk because of my simpsons collectables. Anyway… this is for the orphans.
Comment 708!!
I don’t never comment but is for my bad english =S Sorry.
Hah, this story definitely had me laughing at work. Go! Go! Go! You’re close to 1000! You may be rid of 200 items but it won’t be hard for the wifey to replace them
Go toys! It’s hard to part with things you are fond of, but it’s for a good cause!
Keep the comments coming, folks!
I just recently discovered your blog and haven’t commented before, but for the sake of your sanity, I’ve decided to quit lurking. 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.
Move those toys out!
A Hello Kitty holiday? I shudder at the thought.
I saw a YouTube of a Hello Kitty wedding….it was one of the saddest things I have ever seen
Love the blog.
I would be ecstatic if you’re wife donated toys! Yay charity!
its so good for your wife to take on a good cause and donate her kitty items
Hey man, good luck getting 1000 posts. I hope you make it. I’m still clueless as to why you haven’t filed for divorce or committed homidice yet, but hey. You must really love this lady.
Good luck!
A friend posted about this on the Neil Gaiman message board, so I followed the linky and read your plight. (You do know that this will give her the perfect excuse to buy more stuff?
)
The amount of pink in your life must be hellish.
Let’s get rid of some toys!
one more – good luck reaching your goal
Good for you, and good for your wife. A seriously excellent plan. I read regularly, but don’t generally comment just for the sake of it. I have nothing as interesting as your posts to say, after all.
Good luck with the donations.
I’ll be glad to help by commenting.
Here’s a comment for you! And good luck! Hug the orphans for me!
you know, she’s just going to buy 200 MORE when you get rid of them.
Ahem,
I love Sanrio!
(Note to mods: fixed my site address!)
Chipping in my little bit. Yes, I read this blog, and I even own a couple of Hello Kitty items (namely a disturbing vibrator and a couple of keychain charms I got out of a vending machine in an interstate rest stop). More than a couple Hello Kitty things? Too much Hello Kitty for me. (It doesn’t help that I don’t like pink. And yes, I am female.)
I bet the kids will like them, though! Go, team, go!
I hope you make it to 1k!!! I love your site.
I’ve read yout blog for a couple of weeks, and trsut me I didn’t know hello kitty could be so scary.
But I have a great time reading it, so it’s all good.
HK is my homegirl. Let’s help those poor kids!
Me and my mom both read, i’ll try to get her to comment too.
I love hello kitty stuff, but if you don’t want the hello kitty toilet paper used, don’t keep it in the bathroom.
sacrifice the kitty!
send those kids some Hello Kitty fun!
send them to the kiddies! go go go!
children need toys! And it sounds like you need more space in your house :p
For the orphans!!
I have been reading your blog for several months now, and I love it! I actually like HK, but you are so funny I enjoy hearing what you have to say. I hope you reach your goal, and more.
Thanks for making my day.
pony up those toys
I live a HK-free lifestyle, I hope one day you may share that joy. Kitty begone!
oooohhh….soooo close to being 200 hello kitty items lighter! Although you may have to do this every couple weeks to get rid of the 200 items your wife will be buying to replace those given away:(
Commented. You’re getting darn close.
I love this blog! I hope you get to 1000 comments!
Usually I am not a commenter, but hey, it is for a great cause.
So…. if your wife is giving away 200 of her Hello Kitty items, does that mean that she will buy 400 more to replace them?
I check this blog daily, but never comment. But I will so you can get rid of some hello kitty crap. Good luck.
Hey there, HKH –
Here’s a comment for the kids….I know I’m oh, about 99% lurker, 1% commenter here, but yeah, I know better then to skip out on this one!
OMG…Darlene hasn’t commented yet! The defender of HK is slacking…wouldn’t HK want to help the children?!?
A friend sent me to this site expressly to post here, but I’ll be back – I feel your pain. My husband obsessively collects those little pewter gaming figurines, and sometimes I feel like they’re going to kill me in my sleep (okay, not obsessively compared to your wife, but still…).
I think he feels the same way about my books and shoes, but seriously. Those items are USEFUL.
(Love the banner at the top, btw – “I fell into a burning ring of fire. I went down, down, down… and the hello kitty grew higher.”)
Go you! Yay!
Damn you, mate of the High Priestess of Kitty, for trying to impose de Curse of the Kitty upon those unsuspecting orphans.
Your evil actions should not go without punishment.
I will definetly not post here, to keep you from harming innocent minds.
… Aw, crap. I just did.
Cool HKH,
this will go some way to getting even with the one clogging your life with HKGarbage!
if you get over 1000 will it still be 1 for 20??
Kiv
First time posting, had to join the cause.
Love your blog. I’ve been mentioning this site to friends since I stumbled upon this site. Some of them love Hello Kitty and some of them don’t. But we love your sense of humor and always get a kick out of the hello kitty craziness in the world.
Not much of a hello kitty fan but I love the way she has no mouth.
Yes! The toys much be vanquished!
Great idea!
Hello there!
I do not envy your time in Hello Kitty Hell… glad to help!
New commenter here – hope you get to 1,000! You’re already pretty darn close.
Another meaningless comment.
May you reach your goal of 1000.
*insert witty anti-hello kitty comment here*
Great way to help out the kidlets! (And to clear out the closets). PURGE, Mrs. HKH! PURGE!!!!
yay for helping
I hope you reach 1,000! That’s great to have a drive for the orphanage. Keep up the good work
I lurk all the time but decided that this was a good reason to comment.
I sort of feel sorry for your wife now.
i found this while googling “rotary telephone“:
also, i don’t believe that you have a wife who collects all this hello kitty stuff. i will take this assumption back once i see a photo of her sitting among a sea of pink and felines. for now, i will continue to think that it is YOU collecting all this stuff behind the name of your wife because you are ashamed that you are a male who LOVES hello kitty!
While I like Hello Kitty…. a bit… like as in I have ONE cellphone dangly that is pink of HK and that is IT, I think in order to save you from a hello kitty hell vacation I’ll make a comment after my many visits… and I’d like to see kids get toys primarily
Best of luck reaching 1000!
You’re getting pretty close.
Those lucky kids.
Getting all these Hello Kitty toys!
My God. That would be horrifying thing to go through. 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.
Adios.
Best of luck, for the sake of your sanity. Plus, good causes are great.
Oh man, that’s hilarious! I’m pitching in my comment as well, though I’m not sure if it’s wise to encourage even more Hello Kitty popularity by giving the toys away instead of burning them
here we go again! although i LOVE LOVE LOVE hello kitty, i fully admire your charitable cause, kitty love to all! <3
I love kitties and think Hello Kitty is cute, but my God do I ever feel sorry for you. Here’s another post to help you toward your goal!
Here’s hoping that a thousand comments are reached.
Here’s to 1000!!!
My husband always tells me that he is the only thing standing between me being sane or becoming a crazy cat lady. I do admit to having named my cat HK (short for Hello Kitty or Hell Kat), and an HK decorated bathroom, but I do try to keep it out of the “majority” of the house! GREAT SITE!
I love Hello Kitty, and the orphans of Japan deserve to have some Hello Kitty toys!
I really hope you can do this. Those kids will deserve them (as much as Hello Kitty annoys me) it’s nice to see them donated
i cannot believe how many comments you have already gotten! good luck!! i know you’ll reach 1000. (i hate hello kitty too :D)
Adding my bit to the cause.
Commenting for a good cause. I’m one of those who reads occasionally but just has nothing to say. But here’s a +1 for getting some of your wife’s ridiculous obsession out of the house
good luck, good cause.
Go you! Down with HK!
As much as I love to teach your wife a lesson, I am also commenting for the children’s sake. They need HK more than your wife does.
What a great idea – to share with children who have nothing, particularly items that are meant FOR children. I have nothing against adults collecting toys; however, this is excessive. Again, particularly when there are so many children who are in need all over the world.
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.
Good Luck… Almost there =]
I’m all for donating toys to kids! & I’m all about Hello Kitty!
Is your wife going to check these to make sure it’s 1000 _different_ people? I think not! Let’s have some repeat commenters!
Oh, but she will check – come on. Anybody that has the tenacity to collect all this … think about it. AND when it comes to a challenge between a husband and a wife and who is going to win, believe me … the wife will go to great lengths to prove she is right (which she won’t be this time). 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.
Go you!
Your blogs always make me smile. Kind of sadistic, no?
Yay! For the kids
Beep beep
Im a friend of jaimes on LJ. I want her to go on that trip! but Id want new toys if I were those kids ( I want new toys anyway … )
so hello!
Commenting for great justice! Save a marriage! Help the kids!
thank god for this blog or my brain would have exploded from the stupidity of HK long before i passed my courses. damn hk obessed ppl surronding me – eesh
another one of those readers that never comment. here’s to proving your wife wrong.
it’d be nice if you post up a picture of the stuff your wife will be giving up ;]
I’ve been reading this blog for quite some time now & am HK obsessed, of course everyone thinks i’m a baby as i’m 21 years of age! But what a good cause, I am impressed. Peace from Australia
Although I am not sure that giving Hello Kitty merchandise to young/impressionable minds is a great idea, here’s my comment to help out this cause.
I’m an occasional reader and a Hello Kitty fan – but there is a limit to how much I can handle! Those kids deserve some fun. ???????????
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!
I really enjoy getting hello kitty updates from your blog! Some stuff is just crazy outrageous! Anything for kids!!
I don’t know what to say but I’m on your side.
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.
And good luck.
Sincerely,
Tamichiko
good luck!
almost there!WAHOO!! good luck
love your site! i bet your wife is so upset you’re almost to 1,000 comments!
I love Hello Kitty too, but not to the extreme your wife does! I like looking at the products you blog about, but I feel quite bad for you… That’s why I’m commenting!
Good luck getting to 1000. Almost there!
Good luck on getting 1000 comments! I just found the site and wanted to contribute.
Your suffering amuses me, but good luck. I do feel for you.
Dear HKH admin’s wife:
Just think about all the joy your HK toys will bring those kids!
I wish you the very best of luck with this enterprise. God bless both you and your wife for your generosity. Hello Kitty would be proud of you heh heh
I wish you could donate the toys to me but the orphans is my next suggestion.
I’ve only stumbled across this blog once or twice, but it didn’t fail to deliver some pretty sick laughs.
Good luck to you and your wife in providing sugary pink Hello Kitty goodwill to those kids.
Okay. Good luck.
Hey man, your already so close, although I kinda feel bad for the boy orphans…
Good luck friend, hope you get those 1000 comments!
I believe the children are our future.
Teach them well, and let them lead the way.
With 200 HK toys.
If you’re lucky, your wife will donate the HK sleeping bag.
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
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.
But thanks to you and your shenanigans, my car has hella blown up.
I love you. I hate you.
Can’t always win I suppose.
Luck with the 1000 comments! It’s good to know that the toys are going to a good cause!
I occasionally find Hello Kitty adorable, but I love the blog. Good luck!
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!
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 !
But hey least there going to a good cause.(better if they was to be BBQed but hey cant have everything.) hehehe
<3 big fan! love to see new stuff in the google reader!
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
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
i mean 1 sure…. 2 wthell 0_0
lmao anyways good luck.
Love this site…never commented before…but to help get some toys donated..I’m in
Gotta love this <3
Toys for kids is good. I like good. So I like commenting now. Commenting=happiness from here on out!
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.
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
Good luck with this!
I really hope you get all the comments you need, for your sake and the childrens.
my girlfriend is building her own hello kitty hell for me to live in *sarcastic happy dance* she asked me to comment on this thing too so heres one more coment
Good luck! I’m sure all those little ones are going to love their toys.
You’re really close to 1000 comments! Hope you make it, the toys will definitely make the children happy
I have to admit – I love Hello Kitty. Still, the items you report sometimes give me the creeps.
Here’s hoping the kids will get all the toys they deserve!
Why’d you marry her?
Hello! I’m building a Hello Kitty home for my bf lol. First time commenting here altho I do read your blog. Hope you reach 1000 real soon!
Almost there! You really deserve a break! @_@
this ones for the chilun!!!
down with hk
Your site is hilarious! And has made me seriously reconsider my Hello Kitty habit.
Hello Kitty is very damn scary. I had nightmares the first time someone introduced me to the phenomenon. Which was in college.
This is my first visit to the blog. News has reached the LiveJournal masses.
love your blog
Hope I can help to get thiss stuff out of your house.
My daughter uses this web site to see what is new on the Hello Kitty front.
Too bad you won’t be going on that Hello Kitty vacation.
At least all those kids will get great toys!!!!
Love your work
so close to win your bet!!
but your wife didn’t put an ultimatum?like “you have to reach the goal in 2 day max?mmmm…ingenuous!!
good luck!!
serex
As someone dating a girl who is in the beginning stages of Hello Kitty mania, I wish you luck.
i <3 hk and i <3 your site and i know that probably makes you want to puke but don’t puke on the toys for the little ones, ok?
I do hate hello kitty
I love your blog! Better for you and your wife to donate these toys, so she can get new toys! haha no sorry i hope for you that they stop making hello kitty toys :0) Goodluck!
I’m all for the cause! Especially after the seemingly Sewer flavoured ice-cream… get them out of the house!!
i am so glad i stumbled upon your blog and especially this post, i say: get those toys out!!
p.s. i seriously wish you luck in achieving the 1000 target.
Still speechless, but reading…
Every child deserves a hello kitty toy to get it out of their system before they grow up!!!It’ll be cheaper in the long run!!
A worthy cause! Hello Kitty makes me shudder…
i feel your pain. i have a friend who’s obsessed with hello kitty, and would be more than happy to take some of those toys off your hands and drown her in them. hehe good luck!
I’ve just read through this whole blog. Very entertaining. My sympathy for your current living conditions. Here’s my comment to lessen the hell for you.
I do hope you reach your desired goal!
I was never fond of Hello Kitty but seeing what you live with has shuddered. Poor poor man.
WOW! nearly there! gogogogo!
(this is a dupe)
But, but, but, is donating those toys to a new generation not a bit counter-productive?
Let’s help you get rid of some of those toys anyway!
Hi, been reading your blog for a year. First time posting.
I love Hello Kitty but I sympathize with you.
goooobye kitty!
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.
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.
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!
Thanks for making me laugh!
Good luck with the donations.
yeah!!!
good luck
wonderful idea. i hope the kids like their new toys
Hi. Good luck! Hope you get the comments you need since this is for a good cause.
Wow!
By the time I got around to this it looks like you already got more than 900 comments!
Well I guess I’ll add mine to the pile!
I thought everyone loved Hello Kitty, but apparently not to that extent. Good luck!
Comment…
I read your blog daily and get updates in my email. I normally don’t post comments because I’m so busy….but to save you a trip here you are….and BTW…my b/f is being rude lately I think I’ll buy him that motorcycle outfit!!!
Long time reader, first time poster… I’m sure the needy kids would LOVE some Hello Kitty toilet paper! Just make sure she sends the rolls that aren’t opened yet
Hello Kitty is cute.. in moderation; and not in large doseages when one is adult. Hello Kitty is better for children. But I’m one to talk.. I have a collection of My Little Pony Unicorns.
i think for us saving you from a hk vacation you should reward us with information on where your wife gets some of her awesome hk stuff:)
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!!
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.
Let’s get rid of as much hello Kitty crap as we can! Love the site, but am often speechless…
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.
YOU POOR SOUL…BUT I DO HAVE TO SAY…THE WALL ART IS AWESOME!
Another post for the cause, and mayhap if there’s a chance one or two of those items could be donated to me? =D
Down with Hello Kitty!
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)
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.
come on… only 10 other comments!!!!
to the toy drive i say!
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
wow. so many new commenter’s appear from their lurking state.
bring on the toys!
and best of luck!
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
just helping you get closer to that goal! You’re almost there!!
I read all the time and never comment, but today I will for kids in need of Hello Kitty Plush toys.
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.
Here’s to 1000!!!
Good luck dude….may your face never grace Puroland’s atmosphere.
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
damn. sorry I didn’t make it in before the deadline! Ah well here’s one for good measure
I do love Hello Kitty but your site is hilarious!
Best,
Laura
I’m anti-Hello Kitty, pro-helping kids, and pro-this blog. Glad if I’m helping at all–even if it’s just to spare you a Hello Kitty-themed trip.
Commenting because I only found this site a few days ago (did you know you’re linked on TV Tropes?) but this may well be the best cause EVER.
You’re the only real life example of ‘The Chew Toy’. Feel special.
//tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheChewToy
Whoo Hooooo!!!!!
1001!!!!!!
Yeah us!!!!!!
We Rock!!!!!
What a great challenge! Just think if everyone who commented here would donate a toy to a local charity, too. What a wonderful thing that would be.
I think that Hello Kitty (and other forms of cute) are like many other recreational poisons: fine in small doses, but be careful.
So be careful, okay?
Good Luck : )
I think your wife should view this as an opportunity to spread the kitty love among the less fortunate. Kitty herself would approve!
Rats
I was hoping you would have to go on the vacation, I would be tempted to fay back to Japan to watch you squirm at a Hello Kitty Show and embrace the Kitty in he house.
I guess we fans can help her out buy buy stuff at her store.
AwWw i wanted to be comment 1000 =/
O well 1004 not so bad..NEwaiz Congratz!!!
..nd 1nce again glad 2 help!! =)
Just in case you needed another…
I dig Hello Kitty, tho I don’t think I could deal with a “collector.” So I feel ya.
I am kind of upset I didn’t make the 1000. I love hello kitty, but at the same time find some of the things on here frightening as well.
yay toys for the kiddies.
I’ve lurked until now, but had to post to help you get Hello Kitty where she belongs … in the hands of small children.
Just think of all the space you’ll have for fresh new Hello Kitty items!
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.
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.
1007.
congrats! glad i could be of help!
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
Cat (yea, it’s my real name)
comment!
i think this is a great compromise and i love that you’re helping out the kids!
ps- i love your site! always makes me laugh when it’s much needed.
I always read your blog as well, but rarely comment.
I hope you reach 1000 comments!
aaaahhh a little late but a comment none the less!
Thanks for thinking of the kids!
Hello! I’ve been reading for awhile, but I believe this is my first time commenting.
Looks like I’m a little late to be much help, but I use this website all the time to point out to my boyfriend that my two or three HK items aren’t as bad as what they could be! Love your site!
Let’s hope those orphans don’t hate Hello Kitty as much as you do :P~
Wow, that’s a lot of readers. I’ve been reading for a while now. I’m a Hello Kitty fan, but most of the crazy things you find are pretty outrageous (including your wife’s obsession). Thank you for the entertainment!
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!
What a great idea this is. Not only does it help you, but it helps the unfortunate children as well.
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.
As much as I love Hello Kitty , I can’t help but visit your website & look at the AMAZING (yes amazing) Hello Kitty goodies that you blog about – but even sometimes I find their ideas ridiculous loool
& well done for getting over 1000 comments !
Oh & I’ll try & comment now & then seeing as this is the 1st of many =)
Congratulations, Mr. HKH!
Yay!
Hello Kitty is ridiculously overrated.
OMG..Over 1000 comments already? LMAO…. I fear what my friends would say about my Transformers collection. NO ONE Gets my Cyber Stomping Bumblebee >:)
Toys to the kids. Toys to the kids.
BLARG!
first post.long time reader. keep up the good work. i would hate to give up all my goods, but hey its going to a good cause. good job!
hello kitty fan for life! I read your posts every week. love it.
I like hello kitty, but i think even i would balk at having as much stuff as you do, congrats on getting the stuff out!
Out with the Kitty evil! Good luck !!
What a fabulous idea! In her mind, she’s sharing the love, and in yours, you’re regaining some precious sanity! (now go get some batman figurines and put them in the empty spots so she can’t repopulate them!!!
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!
Great thing to donate for them. Here’s one more comment. Your blog rules!
WOW GREAT JOB!! CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING YOUR GOAL!!
I wonder what the orphanage will do with all those Kittys. Oh well, hope they enjoy them.
Another loyal reader-no-commenter. Yay for Kitty Hell! May you get rid of even more Kitty Crap!
Congratulations. I am also new and am sorry I didn’t get here sooner. Love the blog (and I am not a hellokitty fanatic!).
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!
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.
i am also a supporter and a reader, your work is great.
good luck getting rid of the some useless stuff
Hope you made the right number!
I love Hello Kitty, there, I admitted it. I like your blog a lot too. Hope your able to give plenty of toys away and free up more room for more Hell Kitty stuff.
Simply,
Loula
BURN TEH KITTEHS!
and put it on YouTube or something
Just recently found your blog, but figured I’d comment anyway for the sake of the orphans (and your sanity)
I love hello kitty!! I think that you should take your wife on the hello kitty trip! I am so jealous that I don’t get to go!
I used to love Hello Kitty. Then I turned 16.
Your blog is horrifying and hilarious at the same time.
WHOO!!! we got past 1000 comments! [okay so this is my second comment on this post]
may i suggest an HK item to get rid of??
THE HK UKULELE!!
I love this blog and I love donating toys to those in need. Keep the good works coming!
what an awsome idea this is the best site ever
what a nice cause goodbye kitty (:
May the evil cat get pastel colored mange and be abducted by gay pilgrims.
warning…this sounds pretty horrible…. HORRIBLY FUNNY… maybe you can post a pic of your wife crying and you take out garbage bags full of hk crap lol.
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 …
Yay! congratulations Mr. HKH!
Well I’m glad this reached 1000, Just adding my name to the list of folks who read here – I’m one of the many shocked speechless folks out there.
For the sake of the children and not being dragged to Puroland, hi there!
Hello Kitty is cute, but it’s WAY too easy to go overboard with it.
But now I have to do research on Puroland just to see if it’s as mindbendingly saccharine as I imagine it.
man your life must suck and u must love ur wife a lot
HELLO KITTY IS CREEPY ANNOYING SCARY AND EEEVVVVIIILLLL!!!!!!!!!!
this should be at least over 1000
Wow, that’s amazing! I’m glad you got all the comments you needed
Another regularly reading lurker speachless in horror here. I wonder if you get over 2000 comments, if she’ll consent to getting rid of more stuff? Here’s hoping! =)
I love the blog, I love Hello Kitty, but there are limits.
love this blog. and I realy feal sorry for you
I’m so torn here. I love me some Hello Kitty, but I also love the idea that her happiness can be spread to kids who need it! Altho I completely side with your wife, the blog is hilarious. Thanks.
WOW. Never saw so much comments. @__@
WOO! No more (much) hello kitty!
I’m certainly glad to do my part to (a) help orphans, and (b) reduce the HKC quotient (Hello Kitty Clutter).
this is my first time reading this BUT I definitely support it.
you dont need that hello kitty crap anymore!
I lurk here all the time. I see you’ve gotten over 1000 comments (congrats and yay!), but I still thought I’d chime in.
I don’t know if you need 1000 *new* commenters, so I figured I’d join in.
Out with the evil feline! Even if 200 is only a drop in the bucket…
I love HK and I love your blog too, though not for your evil thoughts against the innocent cat, but for all the most out-of-the-world stuff that even I cannot imagine being kittified. As much as I’d love being the recipient of the 200 items from your wife, it’s better to spread the joy to 200 other kids.
That is very cool, congrats!!!
I read your blog all the time but just never comment! It’s one of my favorite blogs and it’s HILARIOUS! Congrats on reaching your goal though.
I’m an Asian girl, so it’s sort of a given that I own some junk with Hello Kitty on it, but man, the things I’ve seen on your site have shown me that Hello Kitty has some serious brainwashing power.
Keep up the good work!
OMG i love your website… It truly makes me laugh out loud every time!!
Im glad you were able to donate all those toys!
=^.^=
I’m glad your making your Hello Kitty Hell a little less hellish and helping children at the same time.
love your blog, keep it up!
yay hello kitty for the orphans!
I keep an eye on your blog. fun read (from where I’m sitting) but makes me feel sorry for you.
hope the kids like the stuff.
i love hello kitty but i mean some of the crap i see here is TOE UP COO COO DOWN! But seriously dude props to you for putting up with your wife’s love of HK. You’re a good man.
You did it. Your Hello Kitty load just got a little bit lighter. I’m thinking another toy donation for every 10 toys past 1000.
Yay for Hello Kitty.
Admittedly, I’d much rather have Ryo-ohki, but….
__/^-^__ *Miya!*
why not donate one item per comment? i’ve seen some of your photos- 200 won’t even make a dent- and those kids would be so happy to have all the toys & cute stuff!
i know this comment is a few days late, but still wanted to post and hope it would help get more donated!
Longtime lurker waves HI!
to be honest i would be rather happy to see you suffer in your hello kitty hell holiday lol
jk but you’ve already got over 1000 comments =.= and it proves that you have quite alot of fans all over the world!
congratulations! i look forward to the HK stash going to the children
Aww I’m too late to help
I know you’ve already reached your goal (congratulations!), but I figured I’d come out of hiding and chip in my 2 cents for what it’s worth.
Bring the gift of Kitty-Chan to the children!
Get rid of those cats!
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.
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!
there is nothing so lovely as giving hello kitty items to orphans.
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
Congrats for the 1000 comments!
My bf is also happy that U get rid of HK stuff!
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!
wow thats a pretty good deal between you and your wife!
its really generous of you to organize this and of your wife to donate all those toys
ive read your hello kitty hell blog for a while and i love it- its so funny.
Im not gonna lie, i do like hello kitty but that doesnt stop me from laughing at all the crazy things people will do for hello kitty and the stuff they will buy
keep up the blog!!
Way to reach 1000! And help out the orphans!
Lurker since last fall. I’m a HK fan myself, but no intention of getting any HK tats! I`m sure the kids will appreciate the HK gifts.
I aprove of the hello kitty cleansing.
I’m not a frequent commentor, but I have left comments in the past. I salute you for your ridding your home of 200 HK items. Think of the positive feng shui! Best wishes, Laiane
Well, I suppose this is the place to thank you, my dear Mr. HKH, for providing me a perfect reason never to get married. If you have to go through this sort of thing, it’s just not worth it.
Best of luck making this situation more tolerable.
I’m gonna comment just to see if it helps. Hooray for the kids!
meow
the first time i stumbled across this site, you had posted the hello kitty ak47. i was speechless, since that i stop by to read and never comment. death to kitty.
I like the idea. Cool stuff
I support the cause, and the blog!!!
regular, speechless, reader.
You must love your wife very, very much, and she doesn’t appreciate you anywhere near enough if she makes you sleep on the couch just ’cause you don’t appreciate her obsession.
I guess your wife must be a bit speechless by now.
I love your blog, I always thought I´m the only one who hates the evil feline.
dear kitty haters, here’s my contribution~
Hey, Mr. HKH, your next challenge should be that if you reach 5000 comments by the end of next month, then your wife should give up ALL of her Hello Kitty items and seek counseling, because she really needs it
Wow. I hadn’t been here in a while, but what a relief it must be for you to get some of that stuff out of there! XD
Lucky kids getting HK items
hehe
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. (^_^)
Commenting!! I comment when the topic itself is just… “WOW, WTF…” to the extreme. Well, I haven’t done it often since I’m kinda busy, but despite being a tad late, get rid of them kitties!! I mean um… that.. good cause… thing.. whatever that was… xD;
Congratulations for getting rid of all those toys. It must me freaky to look around and see everywhere an over commercialized cartoon image, filled with overrated love and kindness. This is the first time I commented and the first time I am on this blog (I like it). Keep up the good work !
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.
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.
It seems that momentum is lower after breaking the 1000 mark. Anyway, here is my late comment, maybe it will help a bit…
I’m an infrequent reader, but I do swing by here to check it out from time to time. The thing I love about it is that very often the HK stuff pushes through the ‘horrible’ and comes out ‘awesome.’ (Welding helmet? Racing leathers?!)
Love your site. I am a Hello Kitty collector, and its a good thing your wife is donating some of her collection to the needy. Hey… come to think of it. Im in need of a hello kitty toy too! *lol*
How on earth do you sleep surrounded by this demon spawn?
kindly accept my condolences from the UK
Hi, I am very busy and don’t have a lot of time to come to the site, but I do love it. Today is the first I have seen this post and am happy to say I enjoy this site and never have left a comment. I regret I missed this event.
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!!
Nice site, and well done on getting so many comments in so little time!
On Hello Kitty: I don’t get it, and I don’t want to get it.
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.
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.
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!
My ex-husband is transsexual. She said she greatly appreciated the HK massager. Polite and acceptable forms of torture, ah!
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…
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….
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.
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…
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!!!
I read your blog very often, but I rarely comment.
Nice thing to donate toys to those kids.
Good Luck!
Hope this helps. I hope you can get rid of more than 200 items
Perhaps empty out the bathroom of most of those dolls?
Oh my god, you poor guy! But what a great cause. So glad you managed to get the 1000 you needed
It seems that I’m a bit late. Oh well. Congrats for meeting your goal!
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!
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!
Just posting to help you get a bit more past 1000
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!)
Way too late to the party but I’d like to throw another kitty on tha barby.
Hello!
Thought I would post, just in case.
hello kitty = evil
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 ^_^
I’m so linking to this blog. LOL
And for good measure, I thought of you when I saw this:
//abcnews.go.com/Business/popup?id=2165602&contentIndex=1&page=29&start=false
Dunno if I’m going to go into the spam comments bucket but I will not rest until you see this picture… LOL!
1000 replies in only a couple of days? holy extremistan!
anyway, glad you won’t have to go on a hello kitty vacation…
NIce idea!
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.
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!
Glad to help
I envy your wife
All that Hello Kitty!
:Z
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.
totally awesome blog. have to admit that i like hello kitty– though not to the point of being obsessed.
give me some toys
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…
i wish i was one of those orphins =(
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…
anti-kitty reader here… great blog!
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.
long time reader, first time commenter.
I support this endeavor!
What a great cause!
This blog rocks! I cannot believe some of the Hello Kitty stuff that is out there! Crazy!
Hi, I just found your site and think it is a hoot!!
Great cause!
I am astonished at everything that Sanrio puts that cat on! Keep up the snarking!
Hey, I can dig it! 8)
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=?????
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
where do u get .. these hk toys !?!? i want some !!
Here’s to the cause after the fact.
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.
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).
anytime i google anything hello kitty related (pretty often!), your page almost always comes up as one of the first finds!
Greetings from Atlanta! I am an unapologetic 40-something HK fan and I love your site! Keep up the snark and the good deeds, too.
I support your cause. Keep up the good work.
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
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.
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!
Now how did I miss this?
Hurrah for doing good things ^^
Aww… i wanted to help… well just wanted to say your blog is kewl ^^
I’m with you dude, let’s get rid of Hello Kitty !
My mother got infected, I dunno what to do ?!
Awesome! 1000!
Sounds like you need to make this an annual event to keep the house clear …..
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.
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.
plus extra points for helping kids.
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 …
You have my sympathies!
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Wow – I like Hello Kitty but this is out of control
I think HK is super cute, but your blog is hilarious and I’m always down for a good cause.
What a great cause…while I like kitty, sometimes a little is waaaay too much…
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.
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.
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.
Let’s hope you don’t have to spend the rest of all eternity under a Hello Kitty tombstone. Eesh. What a way to rot.
This. just . amazes me.
I always forget how much kitty stuff there is.
best blog i’ve ever read. let’s make those kids happy.
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!
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 ^_^
Damn’! I came here too late to add my contribution. By the way, I hope the deal was done
good luck!
Just found this blog so it’s too late for the bet but hey I’m sticking with ya
Lots of hugsss to ease the HK pain lol
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
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
wow you really need to unload all that crap give it to some sick kids and make them happy.
i love hello kitty but its for a good cause. your wife is so cool! i hope that when i grow up i can have alot of hello kitty stuff too!
it is late and wont count, but i would just commend both you and your wife. top stuff.
Awesome! This is really a great idea. It’s too bad those orphans have to enjoy.. *gulp* HK toys!
OK I am a huge hello kitty fan…but for some reason your site is So awesome, I just can’t stop reading it.
Way to go man!
u rock mr. HKH! great job! i luv ur site!
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.
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!
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.
I just found your blog today or I would have commented when it was relevant. Congrats on getting the toys to the orphans!
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.
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
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!!
Hugs
September
P.S. Your wife is truly a wonderful woman
: )
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.
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.
As much as I love cute Hello Kitty products, I love your ridicule of them even more!
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.
At least it’s for a good cause!
Hell, you can give all the HK to me if you want
Hey, if you’re still donating (which seems unlikely) but here – have a comment!
the only HK thing I will ever covet is a gun.
Just a comment so the counter keeps going up
and death to hello kitty
i love hello kitty and my daughtr and me collect it together got any extra e-mail me please
i wonders if t3h kitteh wants ch3e5e burger 2!
woooo!
way to go with getting your wife to let go of come of her possessions.
Did you end up taking a big picture of all the things you got out of the house for the donation?
Hahaha. Hello kitty is awesome! But anyway, Lol. Do it for the kiddies (:
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.
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.
I do love Hello Kitty. Thanks for creating this website! I love to see all the different items Hello Kitty has put her likeness on.
im like 3 years late but hurray im here!
lol same as heather but i love this website just to say it freakin funny but i like hello kitty but um i love this website as i said
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!
i love this site!
There goes a comment my dear,greetings for wife and goodbye to the toys

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.
OMG! Why didn’t I comment earlier!!!! darn it!
