Hello Kitty Airines?

Let's just say that I'm utterly terrified of this concept (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=3&entry_id=1424):
Eva Air, a Taiwan airline, has painted an Airbus 330-200 nose-to-tail with the wide-eyed super-sized characters, including the mischievous monkeys Tim and Tammy, the Joy, the blue mouse, and Kitty's sister Mimmy White and parents Mary and George White.

Who knew Kitty had a family? Who knew she was a she? Click Read More below for an unnervingly extensive Kitty biography.

Passengers get pink Hello Kitty boarding passes and luggage tags, inflight Hello Kitty service accessories, Hello Kitty meals, and Hello Kitty duty-free shopping.

And now you can greet arrivals at the gate with Hello Kitty bouquets (Japan only, $19-$57 U.S.)

I don't believe there's enough money out there for me to be willing to get on that airplane.

It would take a global-economy-breaking amount of money for me to be seen near that plane of my own free will.

I have many odd fantasies, some of them no doubt illegal in certain US states, but I can promise you that none of them involve hentai.

There's a dolphin sex site?

Perhaps you could email me a link? ;)

Um, isn't this assumed? Did anyone think Hello Kitty was not a she?

I got this information from the 'why are dolphins so friendly' thread...

EDIT: Since I highly doubt this article will be acceptable under the Jolt TOS, I will not link to it directly. However, if you really want to see it, you can do a Google search for "Dragon-wolfe Dolphinn". Result #4.

Value Jet was way too cute with their games and fun. And they were fairly normal. I can't imagine this mess being any better.

Well think of it this way. No hijacker is ever going to try and hijack one of these. Imagine the shame of (upon being admitted to pick your favorite paradise/afterlife/hell) having to explain to your fellow hijackers that you had hijacked the Hello Kitty plane.

"Me, I hijacked a 747 and tried to demand a million dollars."

"Really? I just hijacked a Cessna and demanded clemency for killing my flight instructer. What about you, new guy?"

"Well... Y'know... That's a funny story. I sorta hijacked the Hello Kitty plane."

Of course not.

As for me, I'd go on it. Hell, the flight attendents are probably all going to look like catwomen/men(most likely all women knowing Japan) so it'd be okay with me. That said, I'd probably only ride it if it were the cheapest airline for the destination I had in mind, just like how I decide any other airline to travel on.

Hey, why just not. If just once - I'm sure they'd be cheaper than Qantas.
Cameroi
05-03-2007, 15:40
well if it's just a local airline IN japan i'd rather ride the trains anyway. not because of anything against this airline/plane, or such things in general, but because riding the trains is what i'd be there FOR in the first place anyway. well mostly that. and maybe learn a little more about shinto first hand and a few other things. even from the main island to the north island they have a railway tunnel now, just like the one between gb and france.

now i might fly this plane from hawaii to japan if it flew that route, or all the way from sfx or sfo. if it did. which i'm getting the impression it doesn't.

most of the trains i'd want to be riding over there are the older japanese gauge lines and not the shinkansens either, other then maybe through that tunnel to honshu or whatever the north island i'd really like to visit is called.

yah, i don't REALLY thing the "hello kitty" bit would have a hell of a lot to do with it either way.

Neat, the first aircraft powered entirely by the power of Cute.


Damn straight I'd get on that plane :D

I'm also slightly jealous that the woman who invented "Hello Kitty" is younger than I am >.<

Wish I could come up with a cool idea like that.

The question is, "are posters on NS General dumb enough to post a story without looking around a bit first..."

The answer is 'Oh my yes'.

The only way I'd ever get on a Hello Kitty airplane if I have a little daughter and she wanted to fly in one. Other than that, I'll take Hooters Airline!

A quick search in the portal of evil archives gave me this FAQ for having sex with dolphins: http://whiteshadow.pornopartners.com/censored/guides/dolphin.html

I can't say as I did. To my knowledge, I've never flown on any themed airplane, though I wouldn't object to all of them (http://www.google.com/search?q=nudist+airline&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a).

I paid $2 for a Hello Kitty soda today at lunch. It has this stupid marble thing you need to dislodge before you can even drink it. Took me ten minutes to figure out how it opened.. God I love the Japanese! God bless insane Hello Kittyness and Pocky.

Sadly, given just how often I run into Kitty-chan products ranging all over the place here, I can't say that I am surprised at all. I'm in the country that sells Kitty-chan boxers... for adult men, after all.

BTW though, speaking of not reading, EVA Air is a Tiwanese airline, not Japanese. Of course I seem to recall seeing her face on an ANA jet once.

It would be kind of funny. All of the flight attendants would have to carry little pink handbags, wear cat ears, and wear miniskirts. It would be absolutely hilarious.
