Hello Baby! Just when you thought the Hello Kitty craze couldn’t go any further ... oh, yes, they really went there this time. Case in point: the Hello Kitty maternity hospital in Taiwan, where moms-to-be are attended to by nurses in pink uniforms, the newborns are swaddled in HK blankets, and bubbly Sanrio images decorate the place. To add to the creepiness, babies also get a pair of whiskers as a souvenir. The cartoony facility is supposed to ease the stress of giving birth, but the first thing that came to mind when we saw this was the horrific image of an obstetrician wearing a giant Hello Kitty head sitting between your spread legs saying, “Here kitty, kitty.” Check out some more pics after the jump!

Disturbing!!!
I don’t actually get the whole obsession with Hello Kitty. I mean, I get it, it’s cute, so get a little pocketbook or pen or t-shirt and go on with your day/life. But seriously! I wouldn’t want to be assaulted with that creepy kitty during or after childbirth. That process was surreal enough all on its own.
Besides, if you’re lucky, you get a lot of cool drugs while you deliver (or have an emergency c-section like I did). I’m trying to imagine being on those drugs, or coming out of anesthesia and looking at Hello Kitty everywhere. Crazy time!

I’d be so irritated. Give me something bland and relaxing all day long. The last thing I want in the middle of childbirth is an overly busy room making my head spin.

I think it would be cute for the nursery, but I think having the whole maternity wing like that is a little bit much.
