Vietnam is going to pull alll short and fat cops from the streets. The reason in Hanoi is aimed at impoving the public image of a force with a reputation for corruption and abuse. Inspectors have been monitoring the force to identify the worst offenders. "Little officers or those with too big a belly will be moved to work in offices so they do not come into contact with the public," Hanoi traffic police chief Col Dao Vinh Tang said.
Do they really think that being short and fat has anything to do with corruption and abuse. Come on, maybe they are the best officers, putting them at a desk won't help public image in my mind.

This is funny because if you are bigger or shorter doesn't mean that you are doing the job bad, or that you work less then someone who is better looking. In fact, the people with worse physical look are trying more and they are better in more jobs.
