Pom Michael Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 What needs enlightening ? A Thai company has the copyright/trademark for the "Spiderman" look - from the original holders, and this gas bottle company was infringing on that copyright. They were served noticed that what they were doing was wrong, and they stopped. Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 That reminds me. I've still got a couple of those fake "Tin Tin in Thailand" comic books squirreled away. I bought them early last year at Nana Plaza. Some people were busted in a police raid in Belgium, and hundreds of those comics were confiscated.

ultras67 Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 I havent seen anyone reading Marvel or any other western comic books but seen a lot of kids reading the Thai comic books you see at all the newsstands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALHOLK Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 I'm under the impression that many of those "Thai" comic books are in fact translated Japaneese ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALHOLK Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 Hi! I don't know for sure but I assume that the grass is greener on the other side there to. Just like we fancy the asian girls they probably fancy big blond girls. regards ALHOLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 The gas company did not get the idea from comic books, but from the movie. I saw on Thai TV last night that the gas company is now dressing the delivery guys in Austin Powers type tuxedos. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
