How do they deal with a bad cop in Thailand? Do they fine them, do they demote them? No, for the bad apples amongst the police force in Bangkok, punishments are far worse than that. New rules are being implemented so that “Thai police officers who break rules will be forced to wear hot pink armbands featuring “Hello Kitty,” the Japanese icon of cute, as a mark of shame.” That’s right, Cops caught littering, parking in a prohibited area or arriving late will have to wear an armband featuring Hello Kitty sitting atop two hearts. “(Hello) Kitty is a cute icon for young girls. It’s not something macho police officers want covering their biceps,” said Police Col. Pongpat Chayapha. (Source: Associated Press)

I SO loved this Hello Kitty post by ChipChick that I put it on Glam.com’s lifestyle home page for the week. I have a personal affinity for HK because aside from being irresistibly cute, I was busted stealing $30 worth of logo stuff when I was 10 years old. I was in a 5 & Dime store stuffing a bunch of it up the sleeves of my down jacket. Apparently a clerk saw and pulled off my jacket, saying in a suspecting voice, “Something up your sleeve?!” That phrase became my posse’s saying for years to come. And we did laugh about it after my partner in crime threw up out of fright in the parking lot. (My mom came and released me from store custody.) – [...]
