Thailand's Intellectual Property Dept Wins Global Award For Its Crackdown On Piracy

[h90]

did they also get a Nobel for it too?

For the Nobel for peace they didn't shoot enough people....

[Payboy]

Now that all the pirates have gone what happened to their parrots?

Dunno, I'm stumped.

[pointoffew]

I trust the award is a forgery.

[khunken]

Surely this is a Not-the-Nation post. After all the acronym for the Global Anti-corruption Group Award is GAGA.

[SgtPepper]

It's got to be a joke. Right???

[animatic]

Now that all the pirates have gone what happened to their parrots?

Food stalls outside Nana Plaza.

[konfuzed]

Serious!!?? I am having problems finding goods that are NOT copied.

its impossible to find a shop selling real Xbox games... i have to order from overseas... ridiculous!

[ginjag]

Dunno, I'm stumped.

still wearing long johns??

[LPCustom69]

Seriously? A bit late for April Fools Day.

[TackyToo]

They have got to be kidding.

"There are currently 22 members covering nearly 40 Countries"

One thing is for sure: No one can steal any thing related to intellect from those guys!

Has anyone ever heard that the cops seized a single rack of CD/DVD copy machines? Maybe they are too busy to destroy outdated software, Engelbert Humperdink music and Chuck Norris movies...

The GACG was created for Thailand to save face after Lady Gaga had the gall to tell the truth about what Thailand is famous for. Face, face, face. There is no substance. Thailand is next to a failed-state with respect to law enforcement.

Yep, and I bet they ran right down to Khao San Rd to have a, award document printed up with gold leaf and fancy signatures!!!

Crackdowns, Hubs, not sure how much more of this I can take.

It is quite tiring trying to keep up with the latest crackdown. I can imagine there is an office somewhere in the bowels of Bangkok, full of bureaucrats sitting around thinking of the next travesty of justice which requires a crackdown. The doink that thinks up the most outlandish crackdown every month wins a all-expenses paid weekend in Pattaya.

Apparently they have never been to Phuket.

They need a crackdown on crackdowns.

Any source for the award claim? Anyone?

Ah, mais oui. France, the EU country famed for its stand against all things corrupt, strict enforcement of all EU laws and stringent anti-bribery practicies and business ethics.

[sabai-dee-man]

Anyone spot what, or rather where is missing off this list?! LOL

Of course I am wrong, but I would've expected any award would only go to a country this "GACG" was represented in?! Fool, I am!

They need a crackdown on crackdowns.

Or a crackdown on cracks going down.

But that would ruin the whole economy.

Also interesting to note there is

not a single word I saw about Thailand on the GACG WEBSITE.

If they had a crackdown on all the crackdowns, they would end up with no crackdowns to crackdown on, and that would be a real crack up.
