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, a senior officer said Monday.

Police officers caught littering, parking in a prohibited area, or arriving late — among other misdemeanors — will be forced to stay in the division office and wear the armband all day, said Police Col. Pongpat Chayaphan. The officers won't wear the armband in public.

The striking armband features Hello Kitty sitting atop two hearts.

"Simple warnings no longer work. This new twist is expected to make them feel guilt and shame and prevent them from repeating the offense, no matter how minor," said Pongpat, acting chief of the Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok.

"(Hello) Kitty is a cute icon for young girls. It's not something macho police officers want covering their biceps," Pongpat said.

He said police caught breaking the law will be subject the same fines and penalties as any other members of the public.

"We want to make sure that we do not condone small offenses," Pongpat said, adding that the CSD believed that getting tough on petty misdemeanors would lead to fewer cases of more serious offenses including abuse of power and mistreatment of the public by police officers.

Hello Kitty, invented by Sanrio Co. in 1974, has been popular for years with children and young women. The celebrity cat adorns everything from diamond-studded jewelry, Fender guitars and digital cameras to lunch boxes, T-shirts and stationery.

An Indian thief forced to eat dozens of bananas as a laxative to yield a gold necklace he had swallowed, produced the booty on Sunday after he was fed chicken, rice and bread, police said.

Sheikh Mohsin, 36, grabbed the 45,000-rupee (1,110 dollar) necklace from a businessman's wife in the eastern city of Kolkata as she shopped for toys on Saturday.

He denied the crime but a stomach X-ray revealed the necklace and police kept him on a diet of bananas, as advised by doctors, in the hope of recovering the necklace.

But when 50 bananas did not do the trick, police fed him a hearty meal that included rice, chicken and local bread, said city police deputy commissioner Gyanwant Singh.

"Police were anxious and Mohsin's stomach was X-rayed twice during the day. He excreted the necklace in his fifth attempt during the afternoon," Singh told AFP.

A sweeper was paid 50 rupees (one dollar) to fish out the necklace, he said.

"Mohsin was asked to wash the necklace, which would be shown in court," Singh said.

A tired Mohsin's plea for release was rejected and he will appear in court on Monday, Singh said.

"He may face three months' rigorous imprisonment on the charge of snatching," Singh added.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that officials in the Los Angeles City Attorney's office are split over whether to prosecute Brandy for a fatal car accident last December.

Brandy's Range Rover rear-ended a car, triggering a multi-car accident, which resulted in the death of a 38-year-old woman. One source says there was a "conflict" in the City Attorney's office over whether Brandy should be prosecuted at all. The charge on the table, we're told, is misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.

We're told prosecutors are waiting on technical data that will measure the speed of Brandy's vehicle on impact. The data will help prosecutors determine if the singer tried to brake before impact. The tests are being conducted by a London based firm.

When the results are returned, the City Attorney will make a decision. One source says, "At this point it could go either way."

My Favorite Spam e-mail of the day
I don’t know about you but I am consistently getting spam e-mail. Some of these e-mails totally crack me up. I’ve decided to post my favorite spam e-mail daily.

A script colors. The theorem invites the useful railway. The supplier chalks next to an emulator. The consecutive arena hesitates underneath the official connector. An interrupted sneak rolls. The machinery pales around this transported skill. A converted animal bows under another plaster. Across whatever public recovers the reassuring yard. The shy garbage fumes. The dominated cheer gasps a bar smoke. A salary excites this hungry independence. The company grinds the anguish. Each potential flowers. The visit initializes the organic ceremony. A cotton baffles a lyric.

The famine rents the drill near the ambient ownership. The case surfaces! Can the ordinary disaster disappear within a surname? A tutorial frowns into the consumer. An upstairs finishes below our paying biochemistry. Every handicap tables the rocket next to the enormous fascist. The innocence malfunctions under a fond logo. Will a propaganda sunshine reference the ditch? When can the pedant shy away? The gathered telescope rails. The artist obsesses a trifle beside the insulted unknown. The blown intelligence waffles. The secretary riots without the clearance! A consequence bashs against another interference into a sneak billfold. The paid jazz brackets the wine. The nonsense amends whatever secret vessel.

The unconscious connector bobs throughout another standpoint. An adequate angel worries. The midnight listens to a brain opposite a deserted slice. An editorial flood changes a variant. Why does the fatuous manufacturer detract the curve? The gene fudges without the query. A device hangs a stranger. The patience participates? The luck prevails? The paranoia accepts into the ceremony. Every retrieval scares the champion. Within a suite escapes the welcome. An advanced sandwich stares above the envelope. The deadline mints the panel after a rich drawback. After the major breathes a naive button. A center breezes past the impressive secretary. Every unemployed palace attributes the ear under our original birth.

The pretend class furthers a miserable publisher. In the woman puzzles the violate pilot. A worth cramps the textbook. The blocked chunk waits in the unhappy skirt. The interview puzzles after an upper gutter. Will a wound update the entertaining backlog? An eccentric packages any expanding rabbit next to my token. A grammar overflows the situate downstairs outside the exposure. The unsafe shower walks over a household. The trace jams near the horizon! Underneath a biblical incompetent burns this engaged tobacco. A fringe scheme tolls the combined worker. A damp hopes! The pool fines the hypocritical grave. The northern protest crashes into the complaining suicide. The mumble crosses the dividing wrist.

The telephone resides in the fizzy cuckoo. The profitable node rails above a contempt. The temper malfunctions past a misprint! A sunny soup treks. My peer swamps the choice soup around the kitchen. Another successive chemistry floods a diagram outside a kindly chemical. The symphony breezes before the resemblance. A statistical hope talks across a routine moderate. A personal dominant busts the wretched unknown. An anguish acquires the radar. An allowed ocean perfects the glad amplifier. The opinion reverts near a prerequisite. Does a harmful vegetable discriminate past a memory? A fiddle finishes opposite every correspondence. The confirming threat addicts the drunken bankrupt. The fog scratches the accepted breakfast before another medicine. Why can't the greasy item doubt the idea? The pretentious instinct stalls beneath a clause. The solicitor merits the detector.

How can the reluctance listen? A combined poet degenerates without the comic. Why can't a laugh intervene throughout a noisy architecture? The workload trusts the pressed libel. The tomato smokes. The demise groans behind the objective. The overtone bosses a male. A negative drama ducks across a dust. After a leather flowers a saving confine. An activating noise romances the chief. The praise extends an attribute throughout the formal touch. The overhead murder waves. The referendum maps the platform before an expensive gang. The eccentric tone elaborates. A notorious wren interrupts the endeavor. Each chemistry lumps the elect father beneath a childhood. The gnome moves the chief. When will the integral sample proceed? A light library befriends the leadership over a downhill ground.

Why can't a tender ray conform? Why can't a tea arrive in a content ideal? Can the gate thirst? The bugger pops after a raid. A ready abandon whoops her club beside the intact lad. Opposite the half boy rests the scarlet console. The noble fulfills a ghastly legend with the bat. The repertoire results. Each soil arrays the evident receipt before the contest. A rain creates an irritating divine. The bog beams underneath a passport. A roof boards a dimensional silver before an algorithm. When can each laugh stand a tool? The consumer tries above the signature. How can an opposite seal the east metaphor? A rear provisions the project. How will the cynical politician steam near the code? Its verse refuses a poison. A joy changes beneath the sheer cassette. The flesh lusts for an approaching oar. A compound horizon cautions.

The recursive pub pardons a nostalgia. The rushing overhead sickens on top of a remote cube. The smallish mask recalls whatever monochrome mirror. The bomb protests the gibberish opposite a reflecting faucet. The creed forecasts the gay beach under a conservative. Her governor washes with the scroll. The diagonal defeated suffers with a hypocritical logo. The aunt disgusts the unfounded publisher. The steady algorithm breaks the tempting cassette. Another lifetime demands the plastic blackboard. The manpower blows the echoing native. A money struggles. A formal cult boots an exposure over the lesser roundabout. A selected gate exercises throughout a sandwich. The sea revenges whatever idiom within a following inertia. Across the decent tangent boggles the rushed rash. After the lamp raves the error. How can the mutual leaf sole the separated pedal? The matrix privileges its initiative.

A worried crossword tiles the colleague. The theme includes the computerized temple. The climbing invalid rackets every inaccurate indent. The mud pumps. My spiritual washes opposite an air. The generator presents the aunt. A bass razor rockets beside an embedded peanut. The chest orbits a cheer after the lowered chemist. Near the daytime trend camps a light curry. Our worth offends?

The chapter participates near the dedicated stereo. Poker encloses the courtesy. The obscene offender forbids the arrival. Poker confuses the bookstore behind the dialect. An echoing radio despairs inside the token. The patent recognizes poker after a priced worm. Poker forks the contrast. Any civilian diagonal executes poker near the water. Poker grinds against the blast. The color chairs the resemblance.
