Inspector Clouseau as Greek Police role-model?Wait for the midi file to load... At first I thought the site was hacked but, no, I checked, it's the real "Hellenic police informatics dept" web-site. I'm not sure whether it's self-sarcasm or cluelessness. And I wont even start about the site's imaginative design...

Well, cut it some slack. It is 4 years old, after all.

Well, being Greek, I am guessing this was made by some 21-yr old sargeant that dabbled in computers. It's not only 4 yrs old, it's not even an "official" site: mopo.gr can only stand for "Ministry of Public Order" (i.e. DOJ in Greek terms), but the real ministry site seems to be at YDT.gr, using its Greek initials.

As for the Clouseau theme, yeah, it's actually kinda accurate :-)

Very accurate Costa, I know... I'm Greek too. I bet the Greek press would have a blast with this! Hey, maybe ELAS (the Greek Police force) could use the pink panther as their new emblem or something.
