Thais scream outrage as foreigners wear "Thai flag" on their feet!

[Skeptic7]

Yet they don't howl in phony offense when Thais wear USA, England and myriad other flag designed clothing on their asses, as well as footwear. Or all the rude, crude and crass T-shirts with the "eff" and "cee" words, violence and sex, (All with which I have no problem, btw). 

 

Thais are such phony hypocrites and crybabies. So easily offended. So sensitive and thin skinned. Just gotta laugh!

Of course those colours are also on the French flag (amongst many others), I guess those “angry” people in thailand don’t know there is a world outside of thai boundaries. Of course, it’s ok for thai ladies to dance semi naked wearing starts and stripes or Union Jack G strings, nothing wrong with that :-)

Who exactly are these Thai people screaming outrage ?? 

My neighbor , shoe shop owners ?? WHO ??

Must be the most boring people in Thailand.   

Yeah, both of them.

[mindfulness]

Well for one they should start with preventing most folk having thier brains submerged in them, and to stop logically thinking with them also. Sheesh ! The mind boggles with such irrational reasoning. 

[Emdog]

My experience has been that Russian women (some quite hot) like to wear USA flag style bikinis. I have been tempted to ask to see their passports, and if not USA, then demand they surrender my flag. Immediately.

Rarely do Americans wear US flag items. We have enough problems as it is....

Thailand without it's weekly outrage would be very boring indeed. So, let them enjoy their little tantrum

Classic as per usual a case of Comedy and Tragady in life. 

Tragic that this kind of mindset is illogical reasoning from the lower depths of the brain is pandemic, and funny to see how the fools mind works.

None of them depict the Thai flag. 

Even so, I am outraged about this defilement of the Dutch flag, and the worst is that it is upside down.

I am in a screaming rage indeed.

Thais should find it more offensive when they sit at restaurant cross legged itching their feet then touching their food. Why isn’t this considered not polite? 

[Maejo Man]

Personally I prefer the Jamaican flag.

As long it's their own food I will look the other way, or when something interesting is on show because of the scratching I will not look the other way.

Seriously!!!...

 

Never bothers the Jocks!!... Not that i would be seen dead in them????????????

[mindfulness]

I wonder if in retaliation this set of clowns aka ‘netcitizens’, ( now w the f does ‘net citizens’ mean ? ) will wear the French flag on their feet and ankles ?

[mindfulness]

Recent other topics focus on the education system here but this begs the question of whether the raw material is even up to it.

First time I came to Thailand, at the nightmarket I bought a polo shirt with 'Stars & Stripes' on it. Then several locals asked me whether I was American... - Only Thais walk around with shirts emblazoned with their own national flag. ????

I'm amazed at the over kill plus incorrect usage of the British Union flag within Thailand.

 

Should British citizens consider the missus of the British Union flag offensive or insensitive?

 

Yet another pathetic and negative response to something very unimportant.

 

I for one think the shoes look nice.

 

Thais should maybe consider it as a compliment.

They should be punished for their horrible design - not the colors.

Completely illegal in the US to put the Flag on clothes (unless a patch on a Military, Police, Fire etc Uniform)

It is Chapter 1 of Title 4 of the United States Code (4 U.S.C. § 1 et seq). This is a U.S. federal law, but the penalty described in Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. § 700) for failure to comply with it is not enforced.

Ahhhh, dear PM - it's incorporating the colors of the French flag into fashion footwear.  You don't see the French getting their kickers in a twist. 

[BobbyL]

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered the Foreign Ministry and concerned agencies to look into fashion footwear from Paris incorporating the colours of the Thai flags into its design, after it caused outrage among some social media users.

 

“But I don’t know what and if we can do,” said General Prayut on Tuesday. “We have the National Flag Act to enforce but the colours [red, white and blue] are universal.”

Reebok used the UK flag on its shoes

18 USC 700 was struck down in 1990 on first amendment grounds.  Therefore it is not "completely illegal" to use the flag on clothing.  See United States v. Eichman.

 

Also, from the 2008 Congressional Research Service Report for Congress: The United States Flag: Federal Law Relating to Display and Associated Questions

 

"Thus, the Flag Code does not prescribe any penalties for non-compliance nor does it include enforcement provisions; rather the Code functions simply as a guide to be voluntarily followed by civilians and civilian groups."

What you can do is busy your life up with more important issues and stop trying to micro manage everything!

I am amazed at the Thai websites that use an incorrect image of the Stars and Stripes to select the English language option, don’t they know anything ? Good thing that I am not a Thai netizen, or I would be so outraged that I would have to boycott Homepro for a start.

Funny enough, I've seen locals wearing the "Adda" brand flip flops with the same sequence of colors.  But that is acceptable?
