bkkjames Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 According to sources, Thaivisa.com : the worlds biggest expat forum has been acquired by the leading media organisation in Iran. Commenting on the purchase, TV originator and principle George said, "They made us an offer we couldn't refuse, so we took it." It is not clear if the website will remain as it currently is or will evolve to take on a more pro-Iranian point of view. It has been suggested that George had two offers on the table - one from N. Korea and the one he accepted from Iran. George added, "The short guy with the bad sense of fashion promised us that if we sold him the website we could get free visas to Iran for life under the new programme Iranian Elite Card. Compared to the offer from N.Korea that amounted to 100 USD and a life, we thought the former represented a better deal." Commenting on what this will mean for TV's members, SBK - Global Admin chimed in, "To be honest I don't really care. Iran has a long history of promoting woman's rights and freedom of speech so this seems on the surface a good deal for all parties concerned." When queried that under the new regime TV members will have to pay 1 baht for every post, a stern no comment was all that was offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If approved, they will put you a boat and sent out into the Straits of Hermoomoo's on a wooden raft with a big sign that says "We Love Nucluar Power". A special VIP TV Member clause will be grandfathered in allowing those of us actually in Thailand to qualify automatically - assuming we are only staying their for less than 90 days. Multiple entries are allowed but only from the front. Edited April 1, 2010 by bkkjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Does this mean there will be an emphasis on more positive stories about Kathoeys? Seems everytime there's a mugging story it is always some Iranian orweird guy from the Gulf states getting waylaid by a transvestite they took back to a room.

Seems everytime there's a mugging story it is always some Iranian orweird guy from the Gulf states getting waylaid by a transvestite they took back to a room. Apparently yes. Thaivisa News as We See It Now Newsclipping Section: Courtesy of Al Jazeerah Today in Pattaya or Bangkok, an Iranian National was assaulted by a man dressed up as a lady, while he was back in his hotel room discussing where to find the best places to visit in the country. The embarrassed man who shall remain nameless said, "I met this lady on the street at 2 am while coming back from shopping and she said that she could show me her best parts - I assumed she meant the city. Only when I got back to my hotel room and I asked her to show me her favorite locations, she demanded 2000 Baht for up to 3 hours of counselling. I obliged, next thing you know I woke up in the morning and she stole everything including the 3 million baht in jewels I had under my pillow".
