SUZHOU, CHINA — Officials in the city of Suzhou in China's Anhui province got all the hate for shaming residents who go out and about in their nightwear.<br /><br />According to the New York Times, wearing pajamas in public is a thing in China. And honestly, can you blame them? Those things are comfy!<br /><br />But government officials in Suzhou don't like the practice, so they used facial recognition tech to police folks strutting the streets in their sleepwear.<br /><br />The party poopers posted the surveillance photos online and outed the identities of the pajama wearers to shame them for their "uncivilized behavior."<br /><br />Suzhou officials claimed they were trying to win a national "civilized city" competition and banned residents from wearing their PJs out on the street. Not cool!<br /><br />Spitting in the streets, cutting lines, throwing wild public tantrums - that's uncivilized. But what the heck is wrong with pajamas?! <br /><br />Chinese netizens are asking the same thing. Many online are pissed at the pajama shaming and are calling the city government out for infringing on its citizens' privacy.<br /><br />Suzhou officials later apologized and said they'd blur the photos in the future.<br /><br />Hey geniuses, maybe try focusing on legit public matters instead of policing people's clothing choices.
