The article that got Economist kicked out of Thailand.
Ah, back we go to days of yore,
To days when men were more,
When kings were met with knee to floor,
And critics shown the door.Nor scribe nor text nor magazine
Shall venalize the king.
"We love 'im!", do the people sing,
"His critics up we string!"
Just reading the headline with no other information, this poster was thinking there’s really only one thing which could cause something like that:
Insulting the King.
Sure enough.
Thais are pretty amazingly libertarian about a lot of things, but they are quite loyal to the royal family.
