Quick! Call Out the Army! They're Insulting our King!!

Have you heard the latest? Thailand is on "Royal Insult" alert. It's quite true. No military coup this year (Abhisit is one of theirs) so instead Thailand's army, navy and air force are busy combing the internet for "insults" against the monarch.

Orders from "above", you understand. Well, the defence minister, in fact. According to Channel News Asia, General Prawit Wongsuwon, has asked Thailand's army to urgently monitor the internet. This duty has been extended to their families too! Mum, dad, granny, the family dog. All busy sniffing out anything on the internet that might be lese majeste. This is a "national security" issue after all.

So, what terrible "insults" have those naughty Thai people been posting on the internet about their "beloved" king? Perhaps rude words, like "greedy"? Or maybe "Forbes"? Actually, no-one is "insulting" king Bhumibol. People are simply discussing the Thai king's personal fortune and his business interests.

Have a look at the documents above. Lots of abusive "insults" there about the Thai king and his profitable business interests. Poor Bhumibol, he has to struggle on just 5 billion Baht a year. Perhaps if he owned more of Thailand's monopolies...

Good video with lots of real insults from SrirasmiUbitch
