Hello Kitty Fire Extinguisher

Juniper Foo  |  Jun 30, 2005

We'll say this, someone back at the Sanrio headquarters in Japan (with a lot of time on his hands) is probably paid to churn out product ideas for the lipless one. We won't be surprised if the cat got its own pink lightsaber next. In case you didn't know, Hello Kitty owns this planet and we just live in it.

you'd die laughing if someone ran at you with that, even if you were on fire, you'd tell em to get fucked

The first comment, obviously, written by someone who has never felt or seen what it's like to suffer a third-degree burn. A designer fire-estingusher is no different than any other designer household accessory. Within a year, you'll see extinguishers matching the latest bedding patterns by Martha Stewart.

If cannabalism were socially acceptable, we'd see fewer products like this.

Would someone please hand me my Dawn of the Dead Spray?

I think it's cute and if wallmart had one I would buy one for my daughters room. Every room should have a fire extinguisher and it would be nice if they weren't so ugly.

Just what we need - a safety tool that looks deceptively like a toy! I guarantee you that some kid is going to discharge it because it looks more like a toy than something that should be taken seriously.

Scenario? Little Candy Smith uses up the fire extinguisher at a slumber party. She doesn't tell her parents and they all find out the hard way when a fire hits their humble home.

Hello Kitty, Goodbye ignorance of safety devices! I feel that this is just the beginning of newer and better ways to keep kids kurrant (sorry, but I couldn't resist) of ways and means to protect themselves. Now, we need for Hello, Kitty! to come up with a matching smoke alarm and pink batteries that change to acid green when they need replacing.

It's cute, but I think I'll wait for Hot Topic to start selling "Corpse Bride" fire extinguishers...

When I read that article, there was an ad for Fujitsu. I used to work for them about the time they had to pay IBM $800mil for copyright infringement.

Back in the day $800mil was actually real money.

The engineers I worked with were great guys but I'm not sure I will ever understand thier culture.

Then again, I spent a lot of money on a "National Lampoon" Izod type shirt with a legless frog as the icon.

By looking inward, maybe I have just gotten a glimpse at thier culture.

Branding at it's best. Why don't cities like Los Angeles start selling ad space on ambulances so our tax dollars aren't spent every time there's a false alarm? Hmm...I wonder who would sponsor an ambulance...Band-Aid? Hot Tamales? Bayer?

WTF?!?! More proof that every day I walk out my door and think mankind cannot get stupider, and every day I am proven woefully wrong.

[sarcasm] What a great idea. Put a cute picture that attracts 3 year olds on a dangerous device [endsarcasm].

I agree that it is a bad idea to have this for kids. Especially if the kid was like me when I was a kid: wandering about with a screwdriver, dismantling everything I could, and prodding at everything else...

I also agree that I'd probably just burn a little while longer while you go and find a fire extinguisher that didn't have PURE EVIL printed on it...
