‘This Is Obviously A Children’s Approach To Joe Camel’

…But what if an adult wanted a Hello Kitty Credit Card? And say this adult ordered a Hello Kitty Credit Card, on the Internet, several weeks ago, right… did it just get lost in the mail or something? [Swampland]

    Relax, dude — adults get them too. They go so well with the Transformer mortgages that turn to shit in three years.

    I just heard a Kanye West song that mentions his pink Hello Kitty Platinum Plus Card.

    SayItWithWookies: So I can pay my Transformer mortgage with my Hello Kitty CCard. It’s a Win/Win. I’m going out to snort some meth of a tranny hookers ass to celebrate

    Hello Kitty card? Fuck that. I’m wanting a Magic Titty card.

    Jesus, did the Secret Service make you take the bit about the fighter jets down?

    Which Toastmasters chapter does that guy belong to? Fucking scintillating!

    Every child should be given a credit card. There is no better, warmer or more fulfilling feeling than finding out your interest rate just spiked and you owe 3 times more than previously thought as your house is being foreclosed on.
    That’s WAY cuter than “Hello Kitty.” So ya give everyone a credit card.

  8. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:55 pm, May 18th, 2009

    Better than a “Hello Pussy” credit card.

  9. DC Hates Me says at 5:57 pm, May 18th, 2009

    Erma Bombeck-style outrage is alive in North Dakota.

  10. rereridiculous says at 5:58 pm, May 18th, 2009

    x111e7thst: I hope you pay the tranny hooker with your Hello Kitty CC. S/he’s made from plastic, and takes plastic!

    Why are they trying to stop Asian women from using credit cards?

    …But what if an adult wanted a Hello Kitty Credit Card? And say this adult ordered a Hello Kitty Credit Card, on the Internet, several weeks ago, right… did it just get lost in the mail or something?

    I don’t know, didn’t Rep. Steve King say that the hate-crimes bill recently passed in the House protects pedophiles?

  13. x111e7thst says at 6:08 pm, May 18th, 2009

    rereridiculous: My trannie hooker is in it for the meth. But I can put that on plasic so..

    Texan Bulldoggette:
    “Hello Pussy” it’s exclusive to NY Governors

    rambone:
    Asian women women are fascinating creatures.
    Before we were married, when it was just my money…plastic good.
    Once we were married, not so much.
    “Baby, where are the credits cards?”
    ” I burn them, red faced devil!!!! You get more, I burn you too!!!!!”
    You know they all have these giant butchers cleavers they get from their mothers as wedding presents, nobody mentions that when they are talking about “Asian women”. They can use ‘em too…FYI keep an eye on your dog if you marry one….
    Anyway, credit cards are only for Asian women to young to marry, so the entire “Hello Kitty” thing starts to make sense.

  16. Kaylub says at 6:34 pm, May 18th, 2009

    Oh Jesus God do they get to use taxpayer money to buy these comically large prop billboard things they use instead of just, like, putting that shit up on an overhead projector?

  17. Scandalabra says at 6:43 pm, May 18th, 2009

    I love my Hello Kitty Platinum Plus Visa card. The reward points are calculated in whore diamonds.

  18. Mr. Spanky says at 6:43 pm, May 18th, 2009

    WTF! They don’t use PowerPoint presentations on a big LCD flat screen in the Senate?

    What year is this 1983?

    Isn’t Hello Kitty an invention of the godless Japanese designed to turn the young of the world into mindless, robotic consumers?

    And why is John McCain leering at me as I type this?

    AAAAAGGGHHHHH!

  19. Watchreader says at 6:50 pm, May 18th, 2009

    Here’s an idea: some parents might want their kids to have credit cards because it makes their purchases easier to track. Also, wouldn’t you be able to put a spending limit on them too? Not only that, but by having them use a credit card, you build up a dependency on the card. That way when they misbehave, you can take away the credit card as a punishment tool.

    Not only that, but it also allows your kid to build up credit throughout their entire teenage years, and learn valuable lessons about budgeting.

    So yes, some kids are going to have Hello Kitty credit cards, you twat.

  20. MrsNateSilver says at 6:54 pm, May 18th, 2009

    There are so many AWESOMER Hello Kitty products out there than just this stupid card. Hello Kitty! vacuum, Hello Kitty! gun, and, my personal favorite Hello Kitty! sex toy. The possibilities are endless!

  21. ihasasad says at 7:16 pm, May 18th, 2009

    I think Hello Kitty isn’t just for kiddies any more… there’s some shit over on sanrio’s site selling for over 1k!! That can’t be going to kids, right?! I also saw the make up company - MAC - has a line of Hello Kitty. Dude should use the internet as well as powerpoint.

    Call me when they have Teletubbies cards.

  23. spraklepeapooh says at 7:47 pm, May 18th, 2009

    Whatever. If I hadn’t ruined my credit already I’d order a Hello Kitty credit card, for reals. Also, sanrio used to make a Hello Kitty vibrator. Not that I have one or anything.

  24. wheelie says at 7:49 pm, May 18th, 2009

    If some bank had sent me a credit card and a free trip to Paris when I was 12 . . . . this post would now be in French. In fact, maybe that’s what happened to Allain Jules. I’d be posting links to diarrhoea-themed sports photos now.

    DC Hates Me: Erma Bombeck. Geez. I had forgotten all about her. “Don’t confuse fame with success. Madonna is one. Helen Keller is the other.” Heh.

    She was a writer of wry motherly observations, wasn’t she? A pioneer of Mom-Com?

  25. jimstoic: But most pot dealers only take cash.

  26. the problem child says at 8:13 pm, May 18th, 2009

    Hello Kitty Kredit Kards: No longer just for pink purchases.

  27. BadMFer says at 8:23 pm, May 18th, 2009

    I thought Hello Kitty was just aimed at middle aged pervs (like myslef) who love Japanese School Girl Porn (like me)…if any chick pulled out a hello kitty credit card in front of me…I’d be pulling up her school girl skirt and fucking her in the check out line. I mean, for real, hello kitty just feeds by asian school girl fetish

  28. facehead says at 8:26 pm, May 18th, 2009

    If they are old enough to pee, they’re old enough for bankruptcy.

  29. Judas Peckerwood says at 8:50 pm, May 18th, 2009

    I don’t know if kids will actually go for a Hello Kitty credit card. But it’s a sure bet that my emotionally retarded 42-year-old ex-girlfriend is already signed up.

  30. Mahousu says at 9:25 pm, May 18th, 2009

    BadMFer: Oh, so that was you ahead of me at the checkout at Mitsuwa. You know, that was the express line.

    Yellow & Pink? Gawdy!
    I’m holding out for South Park & Goth versions.

    Hell, the shape banks are in these days, might as well have these versions:

    • Hell in a handbasket (flame logo extra)

    • Bankruptcy Bailout (private jet not included)

    • Mr.Potter (your worth more dead than alive!!) -* It’s a Wonderful life reference

    Yes Kids! If you are going to get in on rampant out of control American Consumerism and rack up a mountain of debt, better you get involved now while the banks still have money! Besides, an adult has to sign for you anyway, this is our opportunity to screw up their credit rating.

    Granted, it was the first time I had seen those particular foam-core posterboards, but was it his first time, too?

    There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that screams, “Pay no attention whatsoever to me,” than someone reading a fucking posterboard to his audience. Same fucking thing with PowerPoint slideshows. Hell, I’d prefer someone tuck his chin in his chest and read three-by-five cards to the audience than read that which everyone in the fucking room can–and already has by the time he gets around to it–read.

    Pet-peeve tantrum expired. Go about your regular snark.

  34. nosnikreplliw says at 1:20 pm, May 19th, 2009

    yes senator that is unbelievable. visa is the new us currency!

  35. zenferret says at 1:46 pm, May 19th, 2009

    Mr. Spanky: Hello Kitty is sorta kinda based on Maneki Neko, a cat that waved while at a Buddhist temple in Japan. Maybe. Or was it an old ladies cat in a dream? Or some rich dude. Whatever.

    So we oughta make a “Hello Jesus” cartoon show…
