Child Pornography/Sukhumvit Scare in Bangkok Post

Okay, I'm very suspicious of this "news item" in the Bangkok Post. I find this really hard to believe that such stuff is openly for sale on Sukhumvit.

 

Yeah, those stalls have always sold plenty of videos of 18 ([Don't appreciate that comment - KS]), but videos showing sex acts with what most of us would define as CHILDREN? Anyone currently in BKK care to take a swing down Sukhumvit and verify this? I think it's just more morality watchdog hyperbole...

 

 

Child porn on streets stirs outrage

Child pornography is being openly sold on the footpaths of the city's busiest road, outraging both tourists and residents who said it would not be tolerated in any other country.

 

After receiving several complaints about the DVD and VCD vendors along Sukhumvit Road between Soi 3 and 21, the Bangkok Post Sunday discovered that child pornography was openly displayed on tables along with copies of the latest Hollywood blockbusters.

 

The child pornography, sold on VCDs for 80 baht a disc, featured children from Burma, China, Europe, the Philippines and Thailand. Some of the VCD covers, which graphically showed children in sex acts, advertised that the children were as young as seven years old. Pornographic videos of bestiality were also displayed by vendors...

I walk along the section of Sukhumvit between Nana and Asoke most days and while there are many dealers openly peddling porn, I have NEVER seen anything that looked like child porn. NEVER.

 

Nor have I, but I probably wasn't looking as closely as you. :neener:

 

Seriously, I can't imagine this happening either, and even as a foreigner I call bullshit on this one.
