The Great Hello Kitty Debate

Well, to be honest I went through sort of a vey interesting psychological process in my relationship with Hello Kitty. Martin Scorsese finds it interesting too and he is having Eddie Redmayne to play my brain and Meryl Streep to play Hello Kitty. When I listened to it for the first time I remember I was just indifferent. Not only to the song, but to the world itself. Sort of a post-traumatic stress. Slowly I came back to reality. My one hope was that no one, ever, found out about that song-at least amongst my acquaitances. I devised a very detailed plan involving some unicorn blood, some hacking, the unexplainable sudden simultaneous activation of fire sprinklers in several SONY music headquarters all over the globe, a massive nocturnal break into several millions of malls and music retailers, three dozen trailers in each continent, two container ships and a big burning hole in Turkmenistan, but by when I almost had the unicorn, Avril launched the video. I went through a long, long phase of a blend between rage, denial and over all, embarrassment. Embarrassment on behalf of Avril, and also on behalf of myself for watching the video. It was such a mess in every possible sense. And then the racist issue came up. At first I thought i was just under the influence of the many painkillers I was taking, but no, it was happening in real life. I don't remember anything afterwards, until I woke months later in a scientific base in Antarctica.The doctor there said I had been repeating "Hello Kitty, Kiitty, you're so pretty, pretty" in a loop ever since they found me 3 miles away from the magnetic south pole in the Marie Byrd sector, pulling a baby stroller full of (frozen) bricks.


With time however, I've come to terms with both the song and the video. Now I regard it as one of those embarrassing things we do during our childhood because we thought that they were funny that haunt us for years, until we finally accept that we were children and it happened and was actually funny-for a brief while lol. I don't think I'll ever listen to it willingly again, but I don't hate it either.
