Sloppy Thailand Policemen to Wear "Hello Kitty" Armbands
Errant Thai police officers will now be seen with bright pink "Hello Kitty" armbands illustrated with Japanese cute cat cartoon character with hearts. The armbands are meant to discipline Crime Suppression Division officers caught in petty offenses such as parking in prohibited areas, dropping litter, getting into fights, or reporting late for work.
