When a frequent reader sent me a link to a Hello Kitty Assault Rifle yesterday, I knew immediately I had to post it. Its just so damn cute:

The gun comes from a site called GlamGuns which is full of ridiculous guns, like the gun above and one called “My Little Carbine.” Lovely.
Before you start to get too freaked out about the next school shooting happening in a pre-K class, if you read the fine print, you’ll see “NOTE: This site is a parody for humor purposes only. No actual weapons may be bought on this site.” Furthermore, if you try to buy a gun, you’ll get sent to Amazon where you can buy a book called A Theory of Parody: The Teachings of Twentieth-Century Art Form whose premise is that “parody is a genre fundamental to 20th century art forms.” The author’s intro states, “Parody is not a new phenomenon by any means, but its ubiquity in all the arts of this century has seemed to me to necessitate a reconsideration of both its nature and its function.”
