You know how you sometimes hear about the fashion police? Well in Shanghai they’re actually a real and potent force of law and order.
In the last few months there have been some pretty serious crackdowns on tucking t-shirts into jeans, and having the waist band on your shorts pulled up 8+ inches past your belly button. Last week three brave officers lost their lives in a dawn raid on a pink nylon polo shirt factory that ended in a shoot out.
The latest campaign is against a vile act which I can’t believe still goes on in this day and age- clipping mobile phones to your belt buckle.
If it was up to me, people who do such a thing would have their first-born sons ritually butchered in front of their eyes. It’s the only language these people understand.
