English teacher in Vietnam insults national hero

Don't make jokes about a local hero if Vietnam wins a football match:

"after a Vietnamese athlete recently won a gold medal, he said, he'd got a penis piercing making his testicles resemble Gen Giap"

From the Beeb:

US citizen accused of 'insulting' Vietnamese national hero - BBC News

Reading the full details of this story, it seems that the US teacher (sigh, yes he is American), who has lived in the country for yonks and speaks fluent Vietnamese, went and made what any child would realise is a very bad joke in a nationalistic country.

Don't make jokes about your dick and a national hero - it won't end well.

What a plonker.

Why is a teacher talking about his penis and testicles on his "tuition" platforms?

For such an educated person to make a mistake is exceptional.

Probably thought that Charlie don't surf the Interweb.
