Flashermac Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thai education officials were left red-faced after it emerged that a "teacher" who appears on the cover of a new math book is actually a porn star. Eagle-eyed college students quickly noticed that the bespectacled educator seductively posing with a folder is, in fact, Japanese XXX-rated actress Mana Aoki. Publisher MuangThaiBook then confessed to using a screengrab from her "Costume Play Working Girl" movie for the front page of its "Basic Mathematics" textbook. Some 3,000 copies were sent out to 10 universities before the blunder was noticed. The textbooks are now all being recalled and will be reissued with a different cover, according to RocketNews24. It's not clear, however, how many of the flawed originals will actually be returned. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/thailand-recalls-math-textbooks-porn-star-cover-article-1.1939849 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hi, I guess that is what you get for stealing copyrighted material. Sanuk! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiRai Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Saw this on Khaosod a few days ago (and they got it from twitter where it was pointed out a couple weeks ago). You can't make this shit up. MuangThai didn't do the screen grab, they just took it random off the net without investigating. Some superb thai student with Flash's sleuthing skills posted on twitter and... the rest is recall history. Original twitter post (worth it to see an image that better illustrates the SNAFU): https://twitter.com/T3Thee/status/507161105437696000/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YimSiam Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hi, I guess that is what you get for stealing copyrighted material. Sanuk! From what I've seen on Suk and at Panthip, the rule is that if it involves foreign women or Thai ladyboys, copyright does not apply... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Speaking of copyrights, I've always been amused by the fact that "Man with the Golden Gun" was published in Thai in Bangkok before it appeared in English in the UK. Somebody managed to get a copy of the galley proof, brought it here, and had it translated and printed first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
