halloween Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Imagine if the leader of any other sovreign nation announced he/she would be moonlighting as a writer for televised drama, lol. Or running his own cookery program. Actually that wasn't a problem, getting paid for it, and then lying about that, was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alwyn Posted September 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2014 "Prayuth bemoaned hugely popular television soap operas which he said encouraged violence rather than peace. Some television dramas have also been criticized for trivializing rape and domestic violence." So telling the World that girls deserve to get raped if they're wearing a bikini (and they're pretty) isn't trivializing rape? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 They've restricted freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of press, and academic debate. None of this was enough so they're moving on soaps. Of course all this is for the best, one can't have "Thai style" democracy without "Thai style" freedom of speech. You never watched Thai soaps I guess, or did you and think that all that was perfectly acceptable, even in your own country? I'm confused, are you suggesting that it's a good idea for Prayuth to write the soaps? You confuse easily, don't you ? I'm only suggesting that Thai soaps are awful and that I have no doubts that in the free Western World we would have various (different) protest groups agitating against such stereotype like depiction. There's awful television in my own country, and I assume in all countries. However only countries with totalitarian regimes insist on writing the scripts, and then the television is even worse. So, once again, do you think it's a good idea for Prayuth to write the soaps? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msealey Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) so now there are 4 suspects. the backpacker with blood on his clothes and the three Burmese with bloody i phones? 1 in custody and 3 not in custody awaiting DNA results. I just hope they charge the right person. I think it would be better if this temp PM was skilled at acting and it was left to others to write his script.

So, once again, do you think it's a good idea for Prayuth to write the soaps? There's a difference between 'awful" and 'full of prejudice and stereotypes". In the Western World we accept the "awful" but would protest against the 'prejudice and stereotypes'. It would seem that nowadays even the 1927 musical "Showboat"" cannot be broadcasted without the need for talkgroups explaining how to see it in the light of 'those times' and how much we have evolved since.

madmitch Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I thought the General was supposed to bring happiness to the Thai people. Change the contexts of their soaps and the populace may become mightily p!ssed off. Watch our, General Prayuth!

loong Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Please General, just ban the incredibly annoying cartoon sound effects, the overacting and ridiculous face pulling. Have more conversations at normal sound levels and not so much of the screaming and shouting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, like in our house, you should have 2 TVs, I watch football and motor racing while my wife watches likkae and lahkon.

ttthailand Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 You have to admit that Thai TV is full of violence, guns, rapes, disrespect for social values, and is just not real Thai behavior. But stupid people seeing this crap think it is real and act out the parts. A free press is important but responsible TV broadcasting should be something that the government should push for. It is no wonder these Thai kids sitting in these video computer shops playing shoot up games are going out on the street and killing people. Monkey see monkey do .... It is good to hear our new PM cares and is talking about this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) How will he have the time to write soap scripts when there are already so many other more important things that need change ? On a list of a thousand things he has to do, and that's being conservative, i would put writing soap scripts at 998. This is a problem that could be solved in a day; he has the absolute power to tell all TV channels to cancel all such programs until suitable scripts are written by the people who are already being paid to do it. Of course; they will scream like punctured pigs but if they don't comply it's their loss. Dear General....Well done is better than well said, Your strong words of well meaning are useless without serious action.
