Hello Kitty VS Thai Police

In a press release yesterday, Thai police informed of an unprecendented punishment for errant cops. Thai policemen were caught on film, seen with their trembling knees and sweating asses as the news swept across the region. Never before, has Thailand seen such political instability , at least not since the Thaksin scandal and the recent military bombings.
The prices of Hello Kitty stickers in Thailand rocketed to sky-high prices, after Thai police purchased practically all of the stock in Thailand. This was their punishment for errant officers. Yes. Officers that engaged in "inappropriate behavior" will now be punished by having hello kitty stickers pasted on their uniform. This frightening experience will surely serve as a strong deterent for the feminish albeit honest policemen in Thailand. According to Col Pongpat, he believes that the Japanese cartoon cat will be a form of a serious disciplinary action and he encouraged police officers to buck up , or face hello kitty. Violations of proper conduct include talking too loudly to civilians, failure to turn of engines when they park their car.
Thousands of students protested against this today as they were fuming over the price increase of the Hello Kitty armbands and other products as the Hello kitty fad seems to have resurfaced. Meanwhile, in local news, rumours has it that the hello kitty punishment maybe carried out locally as well and that has led to several policeman quitting their jobs in protest.
