And who did this “Hello Kitty” item appeal to?

I thought you were going to say this was a repost, but I’m still a little disturbed that my “Hello Kitty” search didn’t come up with anything. That’s hilarious, though.

For example, a picture of the cat on a $36 black T-shirt has the words, “hello kitty,”

I think there is a mistranslation.

The guy who wears “Hello Kitty” probably won’t get the other kind of kitty.

Pink? My daughter would love it.

And a nice step up from the Savage Mark II she plinks with now. Maybe for her 10th Birthday........

Are you sure that the word “gay” wasn’t in the original headline?

A change of name to the other word for “kitty” might do the trick.

We think Hello Kitty is accepted by young men as a design statement in fashion.

Not straight ones, anyway.

Not “Hello Kitty”, but there is a certain type of male that might be attractive to “Hello....” hmmm, I better not say it;-)

There are ways to make Hello Kitty appeal to young boys. How about Star Wars Kitty:



Or my favorite, Goodbye Kitty:
