"Thai cops punished by Hello Kitty"

[lupestripe]

Police chiefs in Bangkok have devised a new way of shaming officers who transmit minor transgressions such as being late - a Hello Kitty armband. Embroidered with two hearts, the large bright pink motif is designed to be highly visible so the wearer feels suitably embarrassed not do commit such acts again.

Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty

Am I the only one who thinks this is more of a reward than a punishment? I think I may join the Thai police force and park my panda car erratically with intent to wear a Hello Kitty armband.
