I saw watching a Thai drama show on the weekend (It's to improve my Thai) and noticed that the show was censoring the Thai flag.

The censoring laws in Thailand are stupid but this takes the cake. Why would Thailand censor their own flag? I can not think of a reason why they would do it? Whats next? lololol

But at the end of the show they show a sneak peek for the next episode and they show a lady slitting her wrist, not the actual cut, but the knife on the wrist, a flash and then blood dripping down to the floor, surely this would be worse than showing the Thai flag.

Who decides on what is censored in Thailand? Are they taking the piss or what?

I remember watching the soccer highlights and they had beer advertising behind the goal post, they blurred out the whole goal post and keeper so you could only see the players kick the ball into the blur.

There was no real point in even showing it if they were going to blur it all out.

If they want to censor alcohol and smokes, why don't the Thai dramas just not use them.

I am not sure if they normally would do it, perhaps just a mistake?

What show was it?

[Dannyboy]

Not sure what the show is called, I can find out.

Did they really censor the flag? Sounds like BS to me.

They've taken their usual paranoia so far around that it's come back around.

This subliminal nationalism is a tad worrying - as each passing year it becomes more and more bizarre.

hahaha I wonder when Thailand will start hiding the Thai flags and not show them anymore.

What will they censor next? Dark faces on TV?

Not paying attention?
Already succeeded in this social scheme.
Darkies need not apply.

Large breasts are grotesque and unappealing.
Smaller petite ones are the bomb...
