Bitchfest ends, but morality saga goes on
News, Kong Rithdee, Published on 01/12/2012
» Muta, Munin, Nopnapa and co, watch out, you're in a deep, err, pit. The bitchfest, the slap party, the stink, the Flaubertian scandal, the diabolical Siamese twins, the joy of jealousy - all of these you're accused of promoting, turning them into the pride of Thai television and poisoning the purity of the land. Like tear gas. Like live broadcasts of parliamentary debates.

Fear of social change a step back
News, Kong Rithdee, Published on 09/08/2014
» Those who live permanently in the past can't see the inevitability of the present. Those who worship the stegosaurus would do something so comical, so anachronistic as banning a computer game that most people have never heard of, prompting nearly everyone to hear about it and wanting to play it — just for kicks, just for a slap to the face, just to prove that techno-terrorism will leave the dinosaurs behind. In the world of bandwidth, in a time when information always slips through the iron fist like water or like pus, in short, in the downloadable, Wiki-leakable 21st century — banning data is the practice of ants trapped in prehistoric amber.
