Thread: I'm going to Silom with my video camera, i'd say pray for me but I ain't religious

They've had a fair amount about it on BBC. Course, everyone that has noticed it here thinks they are terrorists or nutters... Perhaps because the protests haven't exactly been peaceful???

Can't find the BBC link but I am aware of the iReport thing from CNN, here's the link:

CNN iReport - Share your story, discuss the issues with CNN.com

I can't see anything indicating 'Payment' so it seems to be a way of making Jo Public feel special without offering anything in return.

Having walked from Chit Lom to the Italian place opposite Molly Malones in Silom, then back through the barricade and back up to Central World all the way to Asoke and then all the way to Thong Lor I was quite exhausted, though not quite as pissed off as my French companion who was lugging about and SLR and several lenses in a bag worth more than my modest camcorder itself.

can't wait to see your video montage, don't forget to put good music, always important on a good video footage

Its the modern equivalent of sending in a reader's letter.

Worth a repost.

So are we getting the video for nothing?

Is she undercover ? as her manicure suggests

she is a fucking minger you guys, get over it

^ Yes she's a minger, and no I won't be posting the video.

^ is that the new Scampy pay per view version ?

I have shown it to a couple of well educated and open minded Thais who said that despite my impartiality, the overall comedy angle on a subject which is a serious issue for the country may not bode well with the majority of the population and could potentially get me into trouble.

Filming was risky enough as it was, particularly addressing the camera in the midst of the red shit rally and shouting above the noise, "Their aim is to dissolve parliament but these gormless bumpkins couldn't dissolve a fucking aspirin!" - when there was a chance, albeit minimal - that one of them would have got the gist of my comment and instigated a Scampy lynching.
