The video-sharing website YouTube has offered to show Thailand how to block material deemed insulting to King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

Thailand has banned the whole YouTube site over a slideshow and at least two other clips mocking the monarch.

Cool. I wonder how long it'll be before Stephen Harper figures out how to do that...

Personally I think it's rather shallow of the Thai government to see monarch mockery as a threat to its throne. But this isn't anywhere near as bad as Google censoring itself in China. And who knows? Maybe it'll have positive effects. Maybe the Thai people will be so starved for satire of King Adulyadej that they'll start making more domestic mockery. Soon it'll spread everywhere, become its own self-sustaining entertainment industry, and no one will be able to stop it. No one! MUWAHAHAHAHA.
