Hands up!

Drop the merchandise!

Your busted, sucka’!

Oh no, look at that crappy mugshot!

Recently, I read the article below on the Associated Press website.

You’d better watch out!

You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Anti-shoplifting campaigns are coming to town

They’re making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice
Anti-shoplifting campaigns are coming to town

They see you when you’re stealing
They know when you take an easy bake
They know if you’ve been bad or good
So shoplifters be good for goodness sake

Oh
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Anti-shoplifting campaigns are coming to town

P.S. I paraphrased the classic Christmas song, “Santa Claus is coming to town,” just a little.

Tee hee hee hee!

Anyhoo......................

That’s the message being spread via digital billboards at the Staten Island Mall. They feature more than just holiday shopping tips — they also show pictures of shoplifters.

District Attorney Daniel Donovan says the anti-shoplifting campaign features the “mug shots” of repeat offenders convicted of ripping off mall merchants.

From now through mid-January, their nameless faces are appearing every six minutes on 11 digital advertising boards.

The ads will pop up about 2 million times during the holiday season.

All I have to say about this is.....................

Hooray!

(Multi-colored confetti flies everywhere.)

It’s about time!

Shoplifters deserve it!

Note to shoplifters: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

And as the alive and kicking comedian/movie star Jim Carrey said in his movie, Liar, Liar, “Quit breaking the law, a**hole!”

But seriously, I wonder if this unconventional method will be a deterrent to shoplifting or if some people will consider it their 15 minutes of fame and think that it is cool.

Let me know what you think?
