Who are these "social media commentators"?

These days, aren't we all?

Similar to the headlines we have here of the frequently "outraged Thai netizens".

Far worse going on in both countries to potentially get upset about. They're conservatively well-dressed, a harmless photo shoot.

I am less than outraged.
