Thai Youtube scandal down to military dictatorship

SOURCES CLOSE TO very non-democratic Bangkok tell the INQ that the military government is using the peoples' love of the King to impose censorship of over 15,000 Internet sites.

Although Youtube is still a great green eye in the country, the folks over in the dictatorship inform us that the military dictatorship has banned something like 15,000 sites and issued diktats to ISPs that threaten to defy the military's undoubted control of guns and helicopters.

The military use "dissing of the King" to pursue their non-democratic aims, it seems, by posting letters on forums against the King and then claiming the old excuse of lese majeste. And so a shut-down of said sites.

We are sure that if the King of Thailand knew about this, he would summon the military dictators to his royal court and show them the bottom of his Godly feet. At which point the military would probably discover they hadn't a leg to stand on. The people love the King. Not the military.

Although the military has promised Thailand will return to democratic processes real soon now, the buzz is the Ministry of ICT is spinning the bans, on behalf of the dictatorship, by claiming something called lese majeste and pornography.

But although citizens [surely subjects, Ed.] in Thailand cannot access Youtube, they still have access to other sites with the Youtube prefix which deliver other things.

Plus don't forget there is a site in Thailand called Siamtube. The case continues. As the Thais say in their SMSes - 555. Five in Thai is ha. As in ha ha ha. µ
