Inanimate object obsessions. Why? [pics]

Fucking Hello Kitty.

As a very good example.

Inanimate, cartoon 2D drawing of a fat-headed cat with a bow between the ears.

Voila.

How the fuck can this become a global marketing phenomenon after so many years?

OK, so my daughter has been obsessed with this cartoon cat for about 2 years now, but she's now 5. Yet there is a "Hello Kitty" shop in the centre of town that is dedicated to this pussy selling stupid clothes and it isn't 5 year old kids going in there.

Care to explain the rationale for such irrational behaviour?

Hello Kitty obsessed freaks - divulge all!

and for you who came here purely for the pics....
