Has anyone been watching the local TV recently?
There has been, on EVERY news channel, in the mornings, constant coverage of this stupid baby panda from Chiang Mai - the Thais even go and watch it on CCTV!!!
I really hope it gets sick and dies, maybe (Kai Wat Yai 2009 - for fucks sake don't mention PIG FLU - that'll scupper the price of pork!) then maybe, just maybe, they might start to report a bit of "NEWS!"
There was a major accident up near us the other day, 7 people from my locale were killed, along with others from other provinces, however, the Thai News channels preferred to spend 20 minutes focusing on a "hairless rat that spends it's life chewing on bamboo - and probably will be incapable of even breeding"
Glad to see they have their priorities in order!
