Hello Kitty takes a dip in USB-powered aquarium

You might wonder why a cat would enjoy being trapped inside a container of water, but as you should already know, all rules are thrown out when it comes to Hello Kitty. The USB-powered aquarium features a couple of oh-so-cute Hello Kitty mermaids in a snow globe / fish tank fantasy land, and while we're sure the hordes of fanboys and girls just adore the idea, this one could actually satisfy those on the other end of the spectrum as well -- fess up, it's not too often that you get to satisfy your SO and take pleasure in holding your (least) favorite feline underwater for an indefinite period of time, right?

Oh God what is that???

KILL IT!! KILL IT NOW!!! KILL IT!

If I can't put real fish in it what's the point?

Ok, hello kitty going over the top on the USB useless devices market...AGAIN, but this time it's just too much.

Ha, you guys think this is bad.... you should see the Sanrio stores (they have them in a few US malls). Or, you know, Japan in general. Hello Kitty madness. I'm actually surprised it's stayed popular for this long. It has to be at least 25 years old by now.

"a couple of oh-so-cute Hello Kitty mermaids"? But one of them is clearly a rabbit.

[pagercam @ May 21st 2007 6:04PM]

why?

[pagercam @ May 21st 2007 6:04PM]

WTF?

It's not going down!
We have a situation here!

Is it hackable? Can we take it apart, draw X's over their eyes, and turn them belly up?

Next thing you know, someone will stick pants on a sponge, teach it to talk and make it live in a pineapple under the sea.

I don't know what everyone's complaining about.
I'm somewhat of a fan of Hello Kitty, and I just find this idea pointlessly adorable.
This surely looks cuter than that silly USB Powered Christmas Tree.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But it's SO KAWAI!!!

Actually, HK was imported to the US in '78 so it's been around close to 30 years now. I just wish they would stop making it so PINK!

[Bill Smith @ May 22nd 2007 10:47AM]

Where do you get these? I'd love to get one for my girlfriend - she LOVES Hello Kitty...

[tekdroid @ May 22nd 2007 6:56PM]

oh noes! the Hello Kitty is drownded!

Good thing she can swim high speed with USB 2.0.

kill that f****** hello kitty or make a game that makes fun of her or that kills her!
