August 9, 2007: Thai police disciplined with Hello Kitty armband - Page 2

ferkelparade · 08-09-2007, 05:55 PM

Is there any word on whether this actually works as a deterrent? I don't know about the average Thai policeman, but I'd do anything I could think of to get one of those armbands...

Real men don't Hello Kitty... real men Hello pussy.

So what you are saying, Weird Harold, is that you consider having to drive a Ferrari 512TR for a week punishment? (OK, it's pink, but a valid assertion just the same:p )

Welcome to the Cellar, aero geek.

Yes, since the purpose is to embarrass bad cops by pointing them out, to the public and their peers, the pink Ferrari would be punishment.

I'd laugh if I saw that pink Ferrari. But I also think the Thai government is rather stupid. Wouldn't a heavy fine, jail time, a good solid beating, and / or loss of your job as a police officer be a more compelling deterrent?

Wouldn't that be a little severe for

Offenses liable to earn an officer the pink Kitty include failing to report for duty, parking in a prohibited area, fighting, or being the subject of a complaint about poor service.

Severe punishments create resentful, sullen, cops, and replacements are expensive to train and integrate into the force. That's why they're trying a little embarrassment. Only time will tell if it works.

God I want that car. Haaa! Who could I really piss off in that car?!?

Hello- Gimme more kitty.

You'd piss me off by owning it instead of me.

And oh ... my ... god. Following links of links. I crossed paths with this, a Hello Kitty replacement for parenting.

Little car, big engine. Faaaaaast.

Hummers look funny.

I want this. Fortunately it is not available in the United States.

I almost bought a blue hello kitty sewing machine the other day.
(for a friend)
*clears throat*
I was raised on the kitty stuff in asia- so I have a good excuse right?
Oh- who cares...Who wants to support the Cicero fund for the hello kitty car?
Oooh- I can imagine that episode of "cops" now.....Awesome.

The other one just looks like Hello Pimpy.
