Found in a small shop lost in a small street of Sài Gòn, Việt Nam, comes this cute made-in-China toilet with a surprise named Hello Kitty.
I bet you’re dying to see this toilet moving. Does the cute cat (a swimming Hello Kitty) really shake her head?
Well, I made a short video for you:
Asia is the home of cute, therefore a goldmine for you fans of AWMOK.
PS: Hey… don’t flush it!

‘A’ for effort with your demonstration video! Excellent music score for subject as well.
I’ve never seen Hello Kitty sunk in a toilet before. Is that special for Vietnam? It is a nice little case for her though. She looks very cute peeking out of the bowl.
What are you doing in Vietnam? And, of course, would love to see more of the kitsch they have there…

Thank you for falling under the charming power of our favorite Cat (and editing my lousy HTML code for the best).
Vietnam provides some nice little things that would deserve their place in the Kitschenette, although the world’s best place is still Japan imho.
When Japan creates kitsch with a stated goal (just check some big dolls welcoming people at some police stations or the way politicians have their kitsch image), Vietnam does it more by chance.
I’m relaxing here and enjoying one of the best foods in the world. Now I thank the country for helping me to receive a Certifikitsch!
Ok, time to take some more pics for you all…

In Spain, a caganer (pooper) is placed within or behind a nativity for good luck. It has something to do with poop enriching the soil and bringing renewal, and the fact that you could be caught pooping when Jesus returns. This is no joke, it is a revered custom. Anyway, they make a Hello Kitty one with pink poop!

And to think it was only a year or so ago that my friend introduced me to the word Cagoner. They are so awesome!! I must start a collection. And Hello Kitty’s little pink poopie is so precious!

When I went to Spain a few years ago, it was close to Christmas and the cagoners were everywhere! I picked up a bunch (Santa figures mostly) and gifted them. You know about the Caga Tio, right?
For my store, I wanted to get a bunch and sell them…maybe next year :)

Don;t know about Caga tio. All this shit is new to me!

Oh Doug – I must be losing my mind. I totally forgot that I posted this before. Guess you could say I’m rather obsessed with these little poopers. I tried once to purchase the Hello Kitty one online, but with shipping, it was just too damn expensive.

Hello Kitty and toilets, about as nice a combination as I could ask for. I LOVE Japan

Wow this is pretty amazing!
