Two Thai Government patriotic music clips removed from YouTube

 

 

Two musical video clips, posted on YouTube by the Thai Government’s Department of Public Relations (PRD), have been taken down after they were overwhelmingly “disliked” by netizens.

 

The two clips are “Thong Chart” (National Flag) and “Rak Borisut Rak Jak Mae” (Innocent Love from Mum). Twitter users criticized the content of the “Thong Chart” lyrics as inappropriate and urged others to “dislike” the clip.

 

Part of the lyrics were “Having seen the Thai national flag these days, tears almost spill for pitying the Land. For how long have Thai people forgotten their patriotism, letting the tri-color flag droop forlornly?”

nonsense ....  there's more to this than the reason of dislikes.  I would say someone high up has requested it be taken down.

Should be :

 

For how long will the Thai Junta forget its patriotism and respect the will of the majority.

Pity the poor chump at the Thai Dept of PR who thought it was a good idea to go head-to-head with the Rap Against Dictatorship song that has garnered 88 million views and 1.3m likes; he'll be enjoying a free, five-year, pencil-sharpening holiday in Nakhon Nowhere from tomorrow.

Nothing to do with You tube owner or free speech. It's simply that a government minister high up has requested it's removal. imo

Translated to ‘you’re dust under the elite’s feet. How dare you think otherwise!’.

 

This video is disgusting nationalist propaganda that looks like something straight outta the CCP handbook. 

No doubt their star songwriter and ol' crooner can come up with a replacement!

Better change patriotism to nepotism. They are no patriots.

In the meantime, the Thai government, in this bad economic times, placed an order for 2 submarines

for 22,5 billion Tbaht.

And why would they/he want to do that?

If freedom of speech or expression is allowed and not the issue?

Well, THAT's sure to shake a few trees.

I was going to equate the translated words to news reports we used to see about North Korea, and say what an insult to any Thai national the words are. Reflecting what the Army chief said some weeks ago.

 

And then, something clicked and I thought. I really don't care. Not my problem that the elite consider the plebs to be cannon fodder and are there to be insulted, belittled or shot.

 

 

The fortuneteller on beach road told me that General Prayut Chan-o-cha won't be in office anymore as of December and he knows. 

He's also one of the best fortunetellers according to the nice girls who once walked on beach road.

Probably not dissimilar to the actual election results

Embarrassed by the tsunami of dislikes, the old loss of face cobblers.

I guess that gives you an indication of how the hoi polloi feel.

Before they were "massaged".

 

 

The "government" seems fairly inept when trying to manage social media, they're getting ratioed to death. 

 

Fake/subsidized Twitter accounts

150 military FB accounts deleted

Regime-y music videos removed

 

 

Time for Attitude Adjustment 2.0?

 

And also, can someone find the missing "Happiness" so it can be returned?
