Link: a brief history on Hello Kitty

I was really surprised this morning to read an article about the Thai police force making use of the iconic Hello Kitty in a new way.
“the arm band of shame”
The cute symbol will now have a new meaning. I wonder if Sanrio is behind any of this.
(I had the chance to see the original creator of Hello Kitty, Ikuko Shimuzu, speak a few years back. Because she designed the character while employed by Sanrio, she never received any royalties from the multi million dollar industry)
