LizardKing Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Whilst you are quite correct, I saw it more as a commentary on Thai Society (Hi So) generally, rather than one portion, red or yellow. The Thai advertising and consumer industry is redolent with imagery and behaviour promoting white skinned shopping people. And any other country is any different? Puh-llese! Flash nailed it. Complete crap. Anyone who thinks the middle-class Bangkokians are pissed off about Central World burning meaning they cannot shop is simply clueless to reality and embarrassing themselves.

USVirgin Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I personally think sophomoric humor should be appreciated for what it's worth, and not be subjected to the scrutiny that's going on in this thread. Edit: As you said, Frash already nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
