Channel 8 regrets allowing broadcast of sexual fondling scene in drama

By THE NATION

 

 

Channel 8 has issued an apology after a sexual fondling scene in a TV show went viral and was criticised by several netizens as inappropriate.

 

 

Recently, video and photos from the TV drama "Sapai Rai Sakdina" were published via social media. In a scene, a man is shown touching a woman’s breasts with his two hands. Social media users were quick to slam the scene as unsuitable for public broadcast.

 

Channel 8 apologised for the scene, but added that it was only intended as entertainment and it did not involve sexual harassment as interpreted by some netizens.

 

Channel 8 said that it was ready to review and edit other TV shows which had not been broadcast to prevent repetition of the mistake.

Guns, knives, physical abuse and many other acts of violence are all acceptable though?

Hub of hypocrisy. Next time film it in a curtain motel. Should be one right around the corner.

...and while raping of school girls by their teachers in real life seems to be accepted by many as well.

(Attempted) rape also seems a recurring theme in Thai soap operas, but nobody is complaining about that it seems.

[SteveK]

Far worse on these shows is the incessant screaming, shouting and tantrums from the female characters, because then Thai women think that this is a normal way to behave, and even look up to the characters because of their perceived wealth and success that they have achieved with this behaviour.

Oh the hypocrisy in Thailand . Bluring smoking and drinking alcohol also common on TV soaps and movies  And you get expats living in Thailand say left their own country to escape the 'nanny state ' ????

Nothing strange really I think ... Every country have its unique 'moral values' .... Which very often differ widely from country to county.

The point of curtain motels is that you don't get to see what happens there. But the big boys have told me they aren't playing hi-lo inside.

Maybe hide-n-seek?

For a while there, I thought someone was naked.

 

I can see more skin and more provoking scenes on Youtube. Thai needs to keep up with times.
