Hello Kitty! Then — ZAP!!!
p2pnet news view | Off Topic:- Tasers are weapons just like any other weapons.
They fire darts ‘loaded’ with powerful electric charges which can kill people, Canada’s Royal Canadian Mounted police reluctantly admitted following the tragic death of Robert Dziekanski, whom they’d tasered at Vancouver Airport.
This Hello Kitty master blaster is featured on Hello Kitty Hell, along with Hello Kitty beer and other feline goodies — including contraceptives.
But a Hello Kitty taser?
On the other hand, why not?
Lady Tasers are still being marketed online for $300 to $350 by Dana Leigh Shafman, owner of Shieldher Inc.
They’re for “Empowering Women Across America,” says her site, stating:
“The TASER C2 transmits electrical pulses along the wires and into the body of the target, overstimulating the sensory and motor functions of the peripheral nervous system, causing overwhelming incapacitation.”
And death, if you’re as unlucky as Dziekanski —-
—- or Howard Hyde who, “died a little more than a day after he was hit with the electrically charged darts,” p2pnet reported on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Safman is pictured here on the wrong end of a demo.
“Pack up your Tupperware, and get ready for a new kind of party,” said the Arizona Republic. Because, Shafman, “recently started sponsoring Taser parties”.
But, “The Tasers come in color choices of pink, blue, silver or black,” which caused women at a Scottsdale party, “to worry that their small children might see the colored Tasers as a toy,” it says, quoting mother of two Caily Scheur as saying, “I want to protect my children from (the Taser) just as much as I want to protect myself by using it.”
“Scheur said that once the Taser enters her house, she will keep it in a locked box under her bed with the key high enough so her children cannot open the box,” adds the story, but, “some of the other women planned on telling their children what the Taser does and why it should be handled only by Mommy and Daddy”.
Shafman is also selling handy $50 cartridge packs on her website.
No need to stay tuned.

Oh, this isn’t the worst implementation of personal weapons-technology I’ve ever seen.
At some indeterminate point in the past few years, I vaguely remember seeing advertising for a device that was a combination stun-gun and mp3 player. Now, that just begs the question of why exactly somebody would be in a situation where their mp3 music would involve having to stun somebody, but….
As for the “Hello Kitty” phenomenon, it’s genuinely disturbing in and of itself.
