Coss Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 It would seem that the current administration is bent on demonstrating it lack of a sense of humour. A letter from the government was sent to 2bangkok.com. It advises that, owing to the political climate, creating April Fools’ Day news items might “cause misunderstanding†and that the ministry would initiate action against Thai websites posting fake news items. Fake items posted in past years are to have a clear disclaimer added. Interestingly, later in the letter, it mentions that April Fools’ Day is not a Thai tradition, but a “foreign holiday. â€Due to the possible risks and legal costs related to this MOC notice, we have decided to forgo April Fools’ stories this year."

Flashermac Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 No need to post fakes. Ordinary Thai news is bizarre enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
