Thai Man Faces 37 years in Prison for Bad Talking King's Dog
Quote:
A Thai man faces up to 37 years in prison for mocking the king’s dog over social media, an apparent violation of Thailand’s stringent laws against insults aimed at the country’s monarchy.
Authorities arrested factory worker Thanakorn Siripaiboon at his home in suburban Bangkok last week and charged him with writing a “sarcastic” Internet post about Tongdaeng, the mongrel owned by King Bhumibol Adulyadej, as well as with sedition and insulting the King, reports the New York Times.
The Thai military, which seized control of the country in a coup last year, did not specify the exact insult Thanakorn used.
I am so glad I was born and raised in countries where I can freely criticize government officials (let alone their ****ing dogs). Wake up world, it's the 21st century
One of the kids from the royal family came to my workplace in Sydney (a theme park). He was like a 9 year old child with a shaparone of about 15 nannies & guards.
We were forbidden from speaking to the kid directly, smiling at him, looking into his eyes or directly at his face.
Can't imagine what kind of childhood that boy has had.
Thailand has the longest reigning monarch in the world btw.
my roomate and 6 more friends are over there right now
