We may be immune to the charms of Helly Kitty, but the rest of the world certainly is not. Luke in Fife says:
After listening to last week’s podcast, I was reminded of a holiday to Japan I went on when I was younger with my family in which we visited Hello Kitty Land! Knowing Olly’s love of Disneyland, I thought this might be of great interest.
Hello Kitty Land consisted of rollercoasters/rides and live performances. I distinctly remember a horrifying dance routine featuring a group of rabbits with cups on their heads. It turns out they are actually meant to be marshmallow bunnies named after different kinds of hot drinks, so there is cappuccino, hot chocolate etc.
There is also an evil and gothic counterpart of Hello Kitty who wears a black leather mask. Scary!
A Hello Kitty dominatrix character? Seems…off-piste?
Katie also informed us:
You can buy Hello Kitty champagne and wine in my local off-licence. No jokes. I live in Hong Kong. Hello Kitty is a BIG DEAL.
Poor Miffy. Whither Miffy Land? The Miffy Booze? The Miffy sex toys? Oh Miffy, it sucks to arrive before your time and be usurped by that dead-eyed creature.
Kitty gets a theme park, Miffy just gets sodding MATHS. So unfair.
