Avril Lavigne Is Still 12, But Also “Sexual” in ‘Hello Kitty’

Avril Lavigne wants to assault our ears with a new song called ‘Hello Kitty’ which is apparently about her love of the Japanese cartoon brand but also has a “flirtatious” and “sexual” side to it… and that makes me want to chop off my eyes and ears.

Here’s what she told Digital Spy about the track:

“‘Hello Kitty’ was such an interesting topic and subject,” she said. “It was really exciting for me.

“I didn’t want it to sound like anything I’d done before. I wanted it to sound over the top so I ended up hiring a new producer to help me with it.”

Asked if the song has a double meaning, she replied: “Obviously it’s flirtatious and somewhat sexual, but it’s genuinely about my love for Hello Kitty as well!”

Okay, please tell me what fucked up universe you have to live in to associate a child’s cartoon cat brand and sex? Unless you’re a plushie, but even then… girl, keep that behind closed doors. I don’t think Avril’s mentality has evolved beyond a 13-year-old’s, so we’ll have to give her a pass on this one.

  • Ugh, unfortunately there are plenty of people who have tried to sexualize Hello Kitty. My friend’s brother went to a love hotel in Japan with his girlfriend, just as a goof, and there were Hello Kitty-themed rooms (one was a BSDM version…I’ll let you think about that for a moment *gag*).

    I guess Hello Kitty has its own thriving subculture, and it was inevitable that people would add a sexual aspect to it. Kinda’ gross, though : P
