Hello Kitty eyeballs
All the rage everywhere on the Internet for the past day, has been Creepy ‘Hello Kitty’ Contact Lenses (Digg).
While many bloggers are freaking out, others are questioning whether this a just a Photoshop manipulation of the image.
Whether this particular blog-posted photo is real is a valid question—I did a quick search of Yahoo Japan’s online shopping and found not sources of “Hello Kitty contact lenses” [ハローキティ コンタクトレンズ ].
On the other hand, the technology to create contact lenses with Hello Kitty on them certainly exists as you can see in the website, selection from WildEyes by CIBA Vision.
Anyway, as we say in Japan upon first meeting in the New Year in Japan, “akemashite omedeto” (ah-keh-MASH-tay oh-meh-deh-TOH) which literally means, “Congratulations on opening the New Year.”
