Blurring on TV

Hi,

 

Have seen quite a few things getting blurred out on Thai TV, for example:

 

- weapons

- alcohol

- cigarets

- a skirt that was deemed to short

 

Noticed a new one again yesterday, a condom. Still in it's wrapper.

 

I find it rather odd that is not allowed to show a condom on TV, but showing people getting beaten is fine. I wonder who makes the rules for what is and is not allowed on TV.

 

Sanuk!

All TV is blurred for me.

 

its been 10 years since the last prescription and I finally accept the fact I need my eyes retesting and new lenses.

 

I can read a sign from across the soi no problem but cannot read a menu from 6 inches, totally longsighted, thats what over 30 years of working in front of a Monitor does to your sight.

 

Back on topic

 

The "Blurring" only occurs on certain Channels where MCOT have some control over, never happens on HBO or Star Movies but happens a lot on MAX where ironically the movies tend to be much older and more conservative
