No, sorry, the 'HK-47' is a joke

(Credit: GlamGuns.com)

As regular readers of this blog very well know, our overlord Mike Yamamoto is terrified of Hello Kitty and believes wholeheartedly that the pink-and-white feline is trying to take over the world. So, you can imagine, when I found evidence of an (unofficial) Hello Kitty assault rifle on BoingBoing (appropriately called the HK-47), I decided that maybe I ought to believe Mike and start getting worried.

Unfortunately, there isn't really a Hello Kitty assault rifle. The site that BoingBoing links to, "GlamGuns," is a parody site. You can't really commission them to create you a Hello Kitty AK-47, complete with crocheted shoulder-stock muffler, for $1072.95. And you can't get a wood-burned monogram on the barrel.

It's too bad, because I think Mike was hoping he could arm himself with one in protection against the Kitty Army.

I have seen a Hello Kitty Rifle but it was an SKS model. It was on display in a store in W. Los Angeles!
