Brilio.net/en - When seen at a glance, this Hello Kitty bag might seem innocent. . However, if you observe it closely, there is really something weird from the imagery found on the bag. Youre not seeing things. Thats a marijuana leaf preceded by the letter a heart symbol and the letter I.
As written by Ahmad Lubis Rosadi when posting a photo of his daughters school bag in his Facebook account, the writing on the Hello Kitty bag might imply I Love Marijuana.
By having and wearing this bag, children might indirectly become familiar with the image of marijuana. Moreover, there is a picture of a heart beside of the marijuana picture which could easily be defined as a good thing by children. They might then interpret marijuana as something that needs to be loved.
As a parent, this is the time for being vigilant in selecting clothing, accessories, or even toys for children. Although the message in the bag looks implicit and might not be understood by children, it is better to take a stand and protect children from various things that could harmthem.
