#5339697 US Embassy Bangkok Complained Over Lady Gaga's Fake Rolex Tweet

Posted Greer on Yesterday, 18:51

What twat wrote that totally misleading headline?

It READS that the US Embassy made a complaint... BUT...the truth is revealed reading the article, that a department within the Commerce Ministry complained TO the US Embassy...jeeeesus...for goodness sake CHECK the blasted material before posting it!

Check that the English is correct, and that the sense of the sentence is accurate.

In response to the actual intent of the article - I think that on this occassion, the Commerce Ministry might think a little about the current environment regarding fake products before making complaints about recognition of their availability.

In reality, there is hardly a tourist destination in Asia that does not have fake something or other available  - get over it.

why does Thailand have to be so hard assed about it
Laziness which comes from the aforementioned 'not getting up off their asses' to clean the stuff up because God-knows-what-percent of the population works in the black/gray market.... Overwrought indignation's always easier.

It's like a husband who's a serial cheater & everyone knows it, but he gets real pissy when his wife calls him out on his cheating.
He does it and it's public knowledge... but somehow he's above her being able to point it out to him or anyone else.

Maybe not really on topic, but personally I think we have a democracy still in it's infancy and figures who show dictatorial streaks stunting it's growth. That covers both 'interesting' figures like k. Thaksin and General Sonthi. IMHO

If Thai democracy is like an infant, then Thaksin is it's wet nurse and the army is its nanny. I feel sorry for it. Still, some kids are resilient. Let's hope this one is.

It is difficult to see how any judicial system which has laws retrospectively changed years later to exonerate selected individuals cannot be considered to be compromised..... even in a 'miracle year'.

When there are no consequences or not severe enough consequences, then it only gets worse, not better.


#5332940 Thai Cabinet Members 'Good People': Prem

Posted ballpoint on 2012-05-26 10:46:08

I think many are missing the real message he was giving

Quote

"The Cabinet members are good people. They are wise, with good conscience and a willingness to be patriotic; besides, they have made a pledge to His Majesty and have a duty to keep their word," Prem said.

A reminder, and a veiled warning.

I think Prem shows a remarkable sense of humour.

Given Prem's audience, I imagine most of them were squirming in their seats with both guilt and embarrassment.Posted Image

After leaving the meeting it was reported that prems nose grew by an amazing 5 inches.

reporters, nor he, had any clue as to why.

I am speechless. Perhaps Prem should have followed my example. Good people do not make extravagant promises to the electorate which they know they cannot keep.

Damning with faint praise.

Why not cut to the chase ... we all know what the end result is
Let the guy back, give him his money back ... make him the PM
let him do everything he wants, ley him exact his revenge on all
opponents ... then another coup ... deja vue ...all over again
This country is one big merry go round .... for some reason people
think they can do the exact same thing and end up with different results

Thaksin is an Egotist And he's just worked that out. As bugs would say "What a maroon!"

I bet his friends call him Phar Lap, and not because he's hung like a horse.
Indeed, it seems it took a bit longer to grasp the nettle of obviousness.

"...just a 'station on way towards democracy'"
Except Thaksin has imagined he was the controlling and central force,
rather than see that they were using him much as he used them.
Yet, clearly many did indeed actually believe the cover story,
and decade long propaganda campaign.

But as this guy runs a minor faction and others are much farther left,
but would be using this faction, and Thaksin in similar sefl-serving ideological ways,
you have to wonder how 'out of Thaksin's control' this has already spun, and will spin.

And where is this headed now that the liege-lord has ceased to be the prime directive?

"The nettle of obviousness" - a neat phrase. I like it!


#5331038 Lady Gaga Fans Gush, Critics Blast Fake-Watch Tweet: Bangkok

Posted tinfoilhat on 2012-05-25 15:32:46

i dunno, id hit it if i could.

and telephone is a masterpiece of cheeky product placement.

I see gaga as satire.

I remember the first video when it came out and it was brilliant. sardonic sexy parody.

as marshall mcluhan said: "the medium is the message"
