Funny!

I'll go and give it 2* for effort...

It seems they have a website and it's been set up by...

The TAT!

It seems one way to try and drum up more tourism for thailand if nothing else...

@Jim: The contest that you gave a link to is sponsored by the TAT

But I dont see how its a set up.

Do these two look like they received their script from the TAT?

Cute indeed. I never said it was a set-up, what I mean is that they (the TAT) are involved in it because it's in their interests.

This is good, but also means that creative control and content is very likely to be affected as opposed to non-TAT involvement.
