It’s a rare day when I turn on the radio or TV to hear or watch the “news.”  All you’ll be told about is the bad stuff that happens.  Too much suffering and too much politics.  The important matters of life get little to no coverage.

In order to escape the looney left and the wacko right, I go online.  There, I can take my time to peruse the headlines.  If I blink or am distracted, nothing is missed.  Then it’s read only the stories of interest.  Should take about 30 seconds. :rolleyes:

Where else will you find the story of the 40th anniversary of “Hello Kitty?”  Sanrio (the company that “owns” Hello Kitty) has turned this into a marketing marvel.  It’s all so sweet and innocent.  If you think that H K is feline you are wrong.

Sanrio has told us more about her:

• She’s British.
• She is a Scorpio.
• She loves apple pie.
• She has a twin sister, and is a perpetual third-grader.
• Her actual name is Kitty White.

Sweet and innocent, right?

You can believe that as have others. :hkitty:

There is more to this story.  I wrote to you about this a couple of years ago.  You can read that story here.  (Please understand it’s meant as humor and is not factual.)
