chingmai331 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The Bangkok Post offered news that the CM News has been asked (ordered) to 'pull the 18 August issue'. The picture showed some govt spokesman and all admitted that the 'mistake' was unintentional, still the editor must remove all issues from shelves. Something about the bike ride for mom, but no other clues were found. After the fact (what fact?) obvious and ridiculous censorship at work. I'm forbidden to offer more here but invite all to visit the Bangkok Post under the News, General heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clokwise Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 It's related to a very unfortunate transliteration of the english phrase "Bike for Mom" into Thai. I don't think we're allowed to discuss the phrase they used however, at least not on TV. Why they didn't use the original Thai phrase for "Bike for Mom" is what's really perplexing...

naboo Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The transliteration for "Mom" ended up with a word that is derogatory. Quite an error! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernjohn Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The transliteration for "Mom" ended up with a word that is derogatory. Quite an error! That was all it was an error. It how ever was enough to get the T V conspirators on the march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
