Hello Kitty- A symbol of shame
Warning: This story will break your heart 15% if you adore Hello Kitty.
According to the NYT Thai police officers who show up late for work, park in the wrong place or even drop a bit of litter are "punished" by being forced to wear a pink armband of shame with a Hello Kitty face and two linked hearts.
There are so many things wrong with this:
I say police officers of Thailand unite and wear the armbands as a symbol of pride of Hello Kitty. But that's just me.
(Ok so yeah I know this makes me 5% nuts that I care so much about this)

There are so many things wrong with this:
- 1 Hello Kitty should NEVER be associated with something shameful. All she wants to do is wear a cute dress and eat cupcakes with her friends. Why are the Thai police using her to invoke feelings of guilt and shame?
- 2 Is it really shameful to wear something as adorable as a pink armband with supercute Hello Kitty on it?
- 3 What does this say to the wee children of Asia where Sanrio characters are hugely popular? We know you like Hello Kitty but really she is something you should be embarassed of.
I say police officers of Thailand unite and wear the armbands as a symbol of pride of Hello Kitty. But that's just me.
