MORE ON YOUTUBE

In the interests of research I've just tried to watch 'that' video which has caused the censorship of the entire youtube.com site in Thailand. The latest is that Youtube has offered to educate That authorities on how to block individual videos as opposed to the whole site.
Anyway, the original video has not been removed but, sadly, there's an entire collection of copycat editions that are, perhaps, even more insulting to the Thai people and His Majesty. They've been posted in the name of 'free speech' but some are just way over the top. These new videos no longer funny or satirical (as the original was claimed to be) - they are just stupid, deeply insulting and would certainly land those who posted them in serious trouble in Thailand.There's no way now to easily solve the problem because there must be about 20 or 30 videos that have been posted in the last 48 hours alone.
