Does Bart get a New Pet?

This one is a little strange, but that’s alright.  Sanrio has announced that in 2014 there will be a merchandising crossover between Hello Kitty and The Simpsons.  What is probably even more shocking is that age of these two properties.  If you don’t keep track of how old things are this will shock you like it did me.  In 2014, Hello Kitty turns 40 and The Simpsons turns 25.  I don’t feel this old, but I guess I am.
