Thai telecommunication authorities blocked video-sharing website "YouTube" from the country because the site offered a 44-second slide show containing defaced photos of the country's revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej. In one shot, a pink Afro and red clown nose are painted on his face, while in another a pair of feet dangle above the monarch's head - a taboo in a country where tradition holds that the King's image must be positioned higher than those of others. Shamed on the creator who insult people in the name of "Free Speech". SOURCEMore news about this topic:BBC News, NY Times
Update: According to YouTube's policy, "We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech which contains slurs or the malicious use of stereotypes intended to attack or demean a particular gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or nationality." Remember, Danish cartoon incidence that upset Islam ?? I understand that there is "Free Speech" but please do not cross the line, because who knows what is on the other side...
