    Military To 'Readjust Attitude' of Anti-Coup Sandwich Eaters

    BANGKOK — Authorities are working to locate and re-educate a group of student activists who ate sandwiches in protest of the military junta today, said the deputy chief of the Thai police.

    This morning, six members of the student activist group Centre of Students for Democracy of Thailand (CSDT) ate sandwiches and read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four in front of the US Embassy in Bangkok.

    Their rally followed a one-man demonstration at the embassy on Sunday, in which a lone protester voiced his anger towards the US government for downgrading its military relations with Thailand in response to last month's military coup d'etat.

    Although the military junta has strictly banned all forms of political protest, a senior police commander said on Sunday that the anti-America protester, Thep Vetchavisit, was exempted from the ban because he was merely voicing his anger towards the US government.

    The anti-coup CSDT activists said they were staging their demonstration at the US Embassy today to enjoy the same privilege enjoyed by Mr. Thep.

    I ate 3 bologna and 1 peanut butter sandwiches yesterday with no political intentions in mind. However, in retrospect I am remorseful that the bologna was under the CP label.

    Next time I go to Bkk, I am tempted to pick up a sandwich at a favorite shop and walk down Sukhumvit Road while eating it, just to see if I catch any flack.

    I'm a mature student and ate a ham sandwich whilst voicing my anger at the US football teams poor performance against Belgium yesterday.

    I feel safe.

    Modern equivalent of a horses head in the bed

    Incidentally, another great bit about the coup is that it's made people read that never considered picking up a book before.

    1984?

    Like that idea was put out there by a Thai.

    Got Farang Spin doctor written all over it

    Make them eat Vegemite sandwiches. They'll soon change their attitude towards sandwiches.

    Yes...
    Long time conclusion about him.
    Talks the talk big time, but doesn't walk the walk.

    Now vegemite is a travesty, but after eating those fvcking Oishi 24bt things for years it might seem like caviar
