But I have read a description. That is enough to make me agree that it ought to be removed and banned. It was a deliberate attempt to inflame passions, in a country in which web access is remarkably prevalent. Worse than shouting FIRE in a theatre IMHO. Had this got widely circulated, the Thai King, effectively humiliated all over the planet, in the crudest way possible, it could have led to bloodshed. (I'm serious). The King of Thailand is (IMHO rightly) loved and considered as an enlightened living Buddha. (I'm not Thai, I only live here!). Google have made a Big Mistake. I haven’t seen the clip.
