Shameless Products : Othor Games

» Sun Dec 09, 2012 8:41 pm

Have you ever seen a product with a character, somewhat to seriously iconic, that makes you cringe?

I needed to make a stop at a local Target store and had to cut through the housewares section. If proof is needed i'll post up pics, but I couldn't help cringing at what I saw on one shelf. Hello Kitty slow cookers/crock-pots, mini-fridges, ice cream makers, and a freaking Hello Kitty microwave. I couldn’t do anything except take a pic with my cellphone, for posterity, then hang my head, sighing as I walked away.

With cartoon characters I can understand things like trading cards, drink cups, pillows, bath/beach towels, and the like, but a dang MICROWAVE?

I don't think anything can top Nathan Drake's shameless promotion of Subway.

A Hello Kitty microwave is bad.
