xoB finds this story which explains

Taking advantage of the Thai need to save face, it'll be interesting to see whether it works.

And if that doesn't work they are forced to sing "I feel Pretty"

WHY? :confused:

karma killer

They also take away their black, and white, and make them drive this for the week.

I'll see your laptop, and raise you an alarm clock.

And instead of the normal night-stick they have to use this....http://www.geocities.com/thoughtvipe...hive/7300d.jpg




ps:I've been a lurker for a long time, glad I finally found something worth posting about :-)

You would think that the customary canings would be more effective.

I think they should have to do full blown cosplay for more serious offenses.

Hallo Spiegel nice to have you on board :)

and for those extra stubborn ones they have this...

And replace their pistols with this.

I feel like I just walked into a Kitty Porn site.

Pink. Police. Parading.

oh, the shame of it!

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...

Welcome to the Cellar, runswithknives & Spiegelprime. :D

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 ):driving:

Welcome to the Cellar, aero geek.:D

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 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?!?
Awesome......
Hello- Gimme more kitty.

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

Wolf, seriously?

Uh huh--Wolf's a serious Hello Kitty fan.

I am a very complex person.

Yeah, I knew wolf was mad keen on Hello Kitty, but I just .....cant....get a visual on her cruising in the little car.

I big pink Hello Kitty Hummer.....sure.....but this just isnt working for me.

You ask and Google provides.

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

And that lead me straight to : http://www.kittyhell.com/

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.

That's a Playboy Bunny on the Hummer, not a kitty.

I saw that Hummer this morning before work. It says the Hello Kitty logo is on the driver's side, but they don't show the driver's side. It got late, and I had to go to work so, I gave up after that.

The one pictured in post 28 is in England.

According to the post I linked to, they said there was a Hello Kitty logo on the driver side door.

I make no further claim to its authenticity other then what I found on that site.

Playboy Bunny
pussy
kitty
Hello Kitty

Sorry, does this belong in word association?

Maybe those Thai police need to catch up on paperwork.

^^ does wolf know about this? ^^

Oh, yes.
