THIS SHOULD KEEP PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS

For the first week of the year...highway policemen in Thailand will wear the masks "to lift the mood of motorists," according to police officials.

And then they blame protesters for "frightening away tourists"??

When Thai-ish fuzz are smiling,
Best beware the Taser's sting.
In the lilt of Thai-ish laughter
You can hear the jail door swing.
When Thai-ish cops are happy,
All the cuffs seem tight, so pray.
And when Thai-ish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they'll tow your car away.

Who watches "The Watchmen"?...

Good one Meanie.
It's getting so you can't tell the cops from the robbers anymore.

"When I was in the United States, their highway police seemed to be more fierce than Thai police. I was scared of them."

They make fierceness sound like a bad thing.

So they are planning to lift the spirits of motorist by scaring their children?

Who was that masked man?

Well, the country's courts and king recently decided that Thais can't have democracy, but at least they have this small consolation.
