In light of all the incriminating videos involving political, judicial and athletic figures recently available on YouTube, The Ministry of Information and Magic regrets to announce new limits on YouTube usage in Thailand. (Reports that is only happening because a senior official got his ten-year-old son to show them how to log on, are allegedly “completely unfounded but did you know that funny thing by the screen is called a mouse.”)The MIM has created a simple list of just a few million video clips to be permanently blocked to all viewers in Thailand. Fortunately, we here at BK were able to buy a knock-off DVD of all these clips from a stall on Sukhumvit Road:Clip # 1: Grainy shots of PM Abhisit and other top political advisors wearing Paul Smith rubber boots discussing the need for an election. One member of the cabinet points out that the election in Burma looked like lots of fun with hardly any long queues and loads of free overseas publicity. Another official wonders if it’s possible to borrow the ballot boxes from the Burmese generals to save money and ensure the right result.Clip # 2: Tiger Woods enjoying a plate of somtam pla ra whilst sporting a red shirt and politely declining to visit Soi Nana, claiming it wasn’t as good as it used to be. Apparently the MIM official was particularly worried about the negative effect this might have on the tourism sector.Clip #3: Shaky video of a food court table where a man in a grey wig is trying to explain a legal issue to a young student. There is concern about a huge drop in applications for jobs in the judiciary if people thought you might actually have to study to get in.Clip #4: A ten minute clip of a really cute cat with its head stuck in a square glass vase while Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” plays in the background. On first viewing the clip seems innocent but there was apparently concern that the feline had an eerie similarity to fugitive former PM Thaksin and that the obvious adorability factor would have an adverse effect on recent national-unity campaigns. Everyone loves cats on the Internet right?
