The Hello Kitty LaVie: is this really "the life" NEC?

by Thomas Ricker posted Jun 6th 2007 at 6:47AM

Egads NEC, show some pride... a Hello Kitty LaVie? Say it ain't so! Your LaVie series of laptops were already totin' some serious Alice-the-housekeeper frump, and now this? What can we say, that puss dominates Japan like a pink, mouthless Godzilla... really, what could poor NEC do. Available now for ¥199,500 or about $1,645 with plenty of pasted-on Swarovski nuggets destined for the recessed folds at the pit of your man-bag. Sure, you'll buy it for your daughter but we know who'll use it... sissy.

Who you calling a sissy, girlfriend? You're nothing but a powderpuff and if you were here I'd slap you with my man bag.

A design only a 5-year-old could love. I'm leaving before mine sees it.

THis is getting crazy. I have made it my goal in life to rid the world from this pesky catoon cat.

Please join the crusade and take a look at our Goodbye Kitty Parody clothing and Apparel at http://www.goodbyekitty.net

Zombie chicks obviously are drawn to the sickening glitter of Hello Kitty. Brains!

I'm a huge Hello Kitty fan and even I find this repulsing. I'd rather have just a pink laptop. Maybe with a skin thats Hello Kitty when I'm feeling like I'm 8.

Ha, look how a kitty without a mouth makes you guys talk..(and even want to "say" goodbye to it). Kitty is a great marketer..
