Hello Kitty Punishment for Cops

Thai Police to Sport Hello Kitty Armbands as Punishment

Thai police officers who break police rules will be forced to wear hot pink armbands featuring “Hello Kitty,” the Japanese icon of cute, as a mark of shame, a senior officer said Monday. Police officers caught littering, parking in a prohibited area, or arriving late—among other misdemeanors—will also be forced to stay in the division office with the deputy chief all day, said Police Col Pongpat Chayaphan. The striking armband features Sanrio’s Hello Kitty sitting atop two
hearts.

“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, acting chief of the Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok. Hello Kitty, invented by Sanrio Co in 1974, has been popular for years with children and young women. The celebrity cat adorns everything from diamond-studded jewelry, Fender guitars and digital cameras to lunch boxes, T-shirts and stationery. Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Mariah Carey have been spotted with Hello Kitty gear. (AP)

That’s brilliant.

In fact, consider this my submission on the police act review.  Especially applicable to police sex offenders.  This would be a much better punishment than any of them seem to be getting at the moment.

I’ve been working on an eco warrrior Hello Kitty cross stitch. Maybe I should change it to a No Justice, No Peace… stitch.

  1. Yeah, I heard about this a while ago too… the thing is, they won’t be going out in public with them on, which I feel kinda defeats a lot of the purpose…

    btw, congrats on the new site, awesome layout, looks like you’re moving up in the world.
