This is my response, showing just how badly the Thai authorities are overreacting to videos that poke fun at and deface their king.
My message to the Thai Government?
Try leaving the middle ages behind and join the twenty-first century!
Edit: A number of YouTube users have pointed out that I used the United Kingdom and Japanese Prime Ministers as opposed to the monarchs. This new video includes Queen Elizabeth II and Emperor Akihito to further prove my point.
Edit - 5/19/2007: The above videos will no longer work. I have deleted them due to the fact that many people have been sending very rude messages and even a few threats to me as a result. If you really want to see them, e-mail me and we can talk thai_video[AT]newsvc[dot]us
