Ever felt guilty about buying a child (in my case, myself) a Hello Kitty toy because it was like having them carrying a Sanrio billboard, only in the innocent looking disguise of a mouthless little cat?
Maybe instead of encouraging less commercial hobbies, you can just switch to Barcode Kitties. These equally adorable cats have nothing to hide. Nothing covert here, their whiskers are barcodes! Launched in Japan, by the Seikodo Corporation, you'll be seeing their UPC tattooed faces all over our shores and stores very soon.
