Soutpeel Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yeah, I'm a professional photo editor, and it doesn't take me to tell you that this is fake as hell. What moron thought this was worthy of publicizing? I would venture a guess that the author of this article knows the person that 'shopped this personally. All this new anti-Americanism is putting me on edge. New anti Americanism ?

diceq Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 And if he should happen to support the yellows, what is the problem ?. I think most farangs who is living here has chosen a side ... The problem with that is that it would make him a fascist supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsailor35 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 So what if Suthep has the support of a flakey American movie star? As long as James Bond doesn't take sides we're all right. Movie Star or Movie Actor................which is he. As for myself i have never heard of him . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsailor35 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 He was probably confronted by a fan who happened to be one of the anti-government demonstrators. No doubt the whistle was given to him as a gift, a gesture, Anyone trying to make anything out of this is really stretching things to the limit...!! Fairly recently we read how a government worker was given a whistle and forced to blow it in support of Suthep . these are the bully tactics that are being practiced and they will only get worse as their confidence grows.

newcomer71 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) LOL! What a news!!! Wilson accused... By who??? Any reference? Any interview? Nothing... Just build a story from a viral picture. The usual BS on Thai press. All Thai press is just the same. This cannot be even considered an article. No sources, only speculations and some twit.

Thai at Heart Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 But, I thought, farangs can't understand Thai politics. Ergo, he has no idea who he supports and he's actually about to ask the kid "so when do you start throwing water?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailiketoo Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 "Wilson himself was in Thailand in November for the shoot of his action-thriller movie The Coup." Now that is ironic. Whole thing seems weird as Hollyweird. I never liked the aspect of American culture that features the opinions of actors concerning economics, politics and other important issues. If an economist has an opinion about economics, I read it carefully. When actors talk about issues my ears go deaf. Its like saying a mime is qualified to program a Cray. Give yourself a break read this who's who of British celebrity political endorsements. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/a-whorsquos-who-of-celebrity-political-endorsements-1962049.html?action=gallery&ino=11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailiketoo Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Oh I see where it is photoshopped. Blow it up and it's easy to tell right where the whistle enters the collar. Pretty serious charge against Coconuts eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spermwhale Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I've read the plot in more detail, this sounds like an extremely irresponsible movie considering the current political situation. Are you daft? It's a Hollywood movie and it's not made for Thailand. It's entertainment. They're not advocating burning babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laobali Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I've read the plot in more detail, this sounds like an extremely irresponsible movie considering the current political situation. Oh dear, how irresponsible. Won't worry the Thais (red or yellow) being paid for their assistance, will it? And the film probably won't be shown in Thai cinemas anyway.

Torrens54 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I wonder how many tourists have bought the flag lanyards and other products just because they have the Thai flag printed on them without knowledge of the political connotations. I suspect more than a few. Yes, I agree ....and if he was visiting Hawaii and someone put a Lei around his neck, would it mean he was "getting layed"? C'mon, fair suck of the sav!

cms22 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Like most unaware Westerners, he probably thinks Suthep and his rabble are supporting a democratic movement. Little does he realise that actually they want to do away with votes. Typical Thailand; while many people in the rest of the developing world are continuing to struggle for the freedom to vote for a political leadership that they choose, in Thailand it seems (at the moment and in Bangkok) they other way round.

If you bothered to tread the end of the report Owen is quoted as saying the photographer who one would assume is the kids parent gave him the whistle with the kid and he thought it was just a souvenir. But even if he did side with anyone, I thought nobody in Thailand cares what anyone else thinks about anything anyway....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captspectre Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 he's lucky the local reds didnt try to beat him up but then they only do that to women as they dont hit back. How pathetic is it when you are accused of something because you are wearing a whistle, these people are idiots. where did you get the information that they beat up women? what's your source? it looks like the yellow shirts are all over the place disrupting normal people trying to go to work and home. if you can't back up a statement like that than keep it to yourself. if you can back it up, then do so!
