Hello Police

Somehow I don't think there's enough shame or taboo in Thailand to make this work.

Rule breaking Thai police officers will be forced to wear hot pink armbands featuring "Hello Kitty" as a mark of shame, a senior officer said.

Police officers caught littering, parking in a prohibited area, or arriving late — among other misdemeanors — will be forced to stay in the division office and wear the armband all day, said Police Col. Pongpat (your name is Pongpat?) Chayaphan. Sounds like a free pass to stay inside all day and not go out to work.

The officers won't have to wear the armband in public either, which features Hello Kitty sitting atop two hearts, further diminishing the effectiveness.

"Simple warnings no longer work. This new twist is expected to make them feel guilt and shame and prevent them from repeating the offense, no matter how minor," said Pongpat, who also sports the tasty moniker of acting chief of the Crime Suppression Division. "It's not something macho police officers want covering their biceps." Pongpat said.

Listen Pingpong, you police the world sex capital, where any object can be inserted or shot out of a vaj, 10 year old girls are sex slaves, and a Thai lady boy is not a drink on a menu -- what is an armband worn indoors going to matter? Thailand is the "what if" Larry Flynt pulled a Marco Polo. The place makes Las Vegas look like Provo, Utah. Good luck...
