REALITY TV SHOW
PM proposes reality show for brilliant beauties
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has come up with an idea to boost her flagging popularity - a reality TV show to prove that smart women are beautiful.

The Thai Women Empowerment Fund has been assigned to produce the show in search of a "Smart Lady Thailand", a Government House source said yesterday.

Until September 13, women who apply to become a member of the fund can join the reality show. Twelve women would be shortlisted to live in a house like members of "True Academy Fantasia" do.

Their daily routines and activities designed to demonstrate their development would be televised 24 hours a day via TrueVisions, while highlights would be aired by Modernine TV.

Viewers would be allowed to vote for the contestant they think is the smartest. The winner will bag a Bt1-million prize and a chance to join an overseas trip with Yingluck or executives.

Can smart ugly ones enter too?

[EyesWideOpen]

Another demonstration of plot loss by Yingluck. At this point I am hoping for a coup..... :-)

[Payboy]

I heard the show will be called Thailand's Got Cosmetic Surgery.

[NongKhaiKid]

If Thailand really got into anything like reality YL and her family would be out of business

[bubblegum]

She's been out on a bender with Chalem ?

[NongKhaiKid]

She's been out on a bender with Chalem ?

A re-make of Beauty and The Beast or should that be the Brainless and The Beast ?

[bubblegum]

And I always thought the Brits had the best humour.

[NongKhaiKid]

With all the problems the country is facing and more to come I was about to type it's hard to imagine a so called PM coming up with this but unfortunately with YL it's not hard to imagine.

Sad !

[Pimay1]

Will Yingluck be one of the contestants?

[Thai at Heart]

Will Yingluck be one of the contestants?

I think that is the issue. She genuinely thinks she's both brilliant and beautiful.

[Smiles]

Her BIG Brother has such great idea during his PM years.

Now, younger sister is following the footsteps .

Can anyone remmember Thaksin was so pissed when one camera man was waiting to film him after he finished his business and come out of the toilet?? 55555

[DocN]

Wow! That is really totally super...uninteresting!

[hmj]

Can TV members ask these "brilliant beauties" (semi) intelligent questions?

[Thaddeus]

Really smart people would avoid being in this charade.

[rkidlad]

Shouldn't she be coming up with ideas about how to make lives better for Thai people?

Beautiful women can be smart? Yes, they can. Who cares? They can also be incredibly f*****g stupid, Yingluck.

[Bluespunk]

Hmm, with winners like this I can see how the whole rice scheme was dreamed up. Truly stupid.

[waza]

That should lift the status of women.

"smart women are beautiful" Like me. tee hee

[Soi Sauce]

She's neither smart or beautiful, so can she enter?

I can remember him criticising the Thai version of " The Weakest Link " as the aggressive, sarcastic style of the host a la Anne Robinson was not suitable and didn't fit the Thai personality.

Personally I'd rather be insulted than someone arranging to have me killed.

[Thai at Heart]

Careful, she might uncover a lot of competition for her job.

Shouldn't be too hard.

[Siripon]

Why would an intelligent woman wish to join Yingluk on a tour? This is a woman who thought Had Yai was a province and Singburi was next to the sea, not to mention the country Sydney.

I suspect Suranand and his ice-cream gang are behind this vapid idea.

Stick to the cornettos boys and girls, and please no more silly ideas.

[Skywalker69]

I heard the show will be called Thailand's Got Cosmetic Surgery.

Is there a way to inject more braincells? If so our dear PM/DM should be first in line.

[NongKhaiKid]

A contest for smart beauties while grannies and teachers are pimping underage girls.

Forward into the future Thailand.

If this story were on a Monday at the beginning of the news week I would have to seriously consider taking my own life.

[Thait Spot]

I wonder what the sexual equality troops think of this brainfart?

Like many TV posters I am also shocked at the idea of womens intelligence being promoted on Thai TV and may start a protest insisting on the superficiality being maintained where appearance is far more important than substance - maybe they can all be dressed in those bunny girl outfits used by 'prettys' on TV so as not to raise the tone too much.

[Pimay1]

I wonder if this will be paid for by the tax payers or from Yingluck's pocket.

[Mampara]

Really guys, haven't she got more pressing chores to do than organising charades?
