Forum:Thai Censorship regarding Bhumibol on Thailand article!
 WARNING!  |
It hella annoys me that you get all of these Thais who can barely speak english on ENGLISH uncyclopedia already, but here is the really annoying part: They always censor ANYTHING related to thier King Bhumibol adulyadej! ever since Youtube had those videos relating to him, there's been an explosion of critism of the feet king. so they are now trying to stifle opposition to him on OUR site. and replace it with what? jokes that sound like this? (actual "joke" from the Thai article)"The coolest guy in Thailand is Chuan Leekpai,, son of a Tuan. His gay gang are Mark (มาร์ค ม.7) and Tep Teuk (เทือก)" and National Attraction to Thai Male is Sanamluang. (official place for a highly-respected, traditional, esoteric ritual called "Shak wow" or "Flying kites") WHAT THE FUCK DO THESE JOKES MEAN? this article is garbage, and I want to see if I can recruit some ENGLISH not THAI speakers onto the thailand article to westernize the humour. please help in doing so, and stop the censorship!
P.S. keep those jokes of Bhumibol "da feet kaing" Adulyadej coming! --198.102.103.18
- Wow, we really wanted to know all about your edit war.</sarcasm> I would like to suggest that before you start bitching at people to speak English that you learn to SPELL. Don't make me settle that edit war you're having with Ace Attacker; my method of settling edit wars involve bans. —Hinoa KUN (talk) 15:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well Thai people have a much different culture than most of the western world has. They are very protective of their King. My wife is half-Thai and speaks English very well. She does not edit here, she thinks we are all crazy though. Those jokes have meaning only in Thai culture, and I think they are jokes at the former President of Thailand who embezzled billions of dollars until he was the richest man in Thailand and his administration, until the King of Thailand overthrew him and banished him to Singapore and arrested his administration. Anyway feet on someone's head is the ultimate insult to a Thai person. It is a disgrace that cannot be recovered from. The Thai people believe that God or Buddha lives in the head, and when they do dances they have hats with points on them and other things to show respect to Buddha. Sort of like an antenna or something I guess? I am trying to learn more about the Thai culture and I will visit Thailand in the middle of June for a month there. --Lt.

- From the edits I saw, you are replacing images in the article with the same image over and over again, which to me appears to be a form of vandalism. This is not humor, and it actually made the article less funny. I added a paragraph about why the Prime Minister had to be overthrown using a few western references. A lot of Thai culture comes from India, originally, like their religion Buddhism did, and they tell stories of the Hindu gods as well like Rama. From what I see, you are vandalizing the article, adding in poor spelling and bad grammar, and in general making it less funny just to hurl insults at the King of Thailand. Please read here Uncyclopedia:How To Be Funny And Not Just Stupid and see that bias is not a substitute for humor. You are adding bias to the article. We don't accept that as humor here. --Lt.
