Social Media Monks Asked to Limit Humor

[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK, Sept 9 (TNA) – The House committee on religions, arts and cultures asked two well-known monks who controversially had their live streaming via Facebook to cut their humorous content to 30%.

 

The committee sent the message to Phra Maha Sompong Talaputto and Phra Maha Praiwan Worawano who were convened to its meeting.

 

Suchart Usaha, chairman of the committee, later told reporters that the committee had no power to rule if the monks’ live streaming was right or wrong or whether the activity was proper or not.

Yeah, because the last thing people need in this time of unprecedented hardship is too much humor.

 

 

Might as well just ban every development from after the late 1800's?

It does have an Italian / Latinate derivation from capuche.the hermit's hood of Sant aFrank of A cc, 10cc maybe?

 

Modern Friars serve Frankfurters Frankish Fries and D'Owe Nutz to cops

Whoops!

They've seemed to have touched a hypocritical puritan nerve. 

 

I imagine these cloaked gentlemen will hold their ground.

Creating principled points. 

 

Go to their Youtube channel - they're both kinda fun to imbibe.

Are these 30% to be at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the video clips?

During?

[hotchilli]

Maybe they should have a "clap-ometer on the show.

when it reaches 30% it automatically cuts the internet connection.

[RJRS1301]

Wondering will The House committee on religions, arts and cultures now relegate one of the many persons facing corruption investigations to monitor the content from the monks?

This could be a growth placement for those in "inactive" postings. 

[Tarteso]

Sounds hypocritical statement ... maybe they are laughing themselves under their masks

"Phra Maha Sompong said the meeting participants agreed that Buddhism should form 70% of content in their live sessions and humor had a 30% share. However, he asked to have equal parts of Buddhism and wisecracks at the beginning of such sessions to attract audience."
