This is from Thailand, so it is a little off-topic, but it is such a great follow-up to the Hello Kitty Cat Humiliation Kit that I simply had to post it. It looks like Hello Kitty will be used to shame misbehaved policemen:
AFP reports:
[Police] Officers who speak too aggressively to civilians, who fail to turn off their engines when they park their cars, or commit other minor violations of proper conduct will be forced to wear bright pink Hello Kitty armbands as punishment, police Colonel Pongpat Chayaphan told AFP.
Previously such offences were punished by a written reprimand, but Pongpat said that seemed to do little to deter future breaches of conduct.
He said he hoped the Hello Kitty armbands would shame officers into shaping up.
