The other day we reported about an ad that the censors banned in Thailand. Well, now that the story has hit the press and the PM has said he finds nothing offensive about the ad, the censors are backpedaling. Now the censors are saying that they simply wanted the ad “corrected” before allowing it to air. They say that some of the clips used were inappropriate and could be against the law so they asked the producers to recut the commercial.
According to the Bangkok Post, problems that the censors had focused on:
Scenes to be removed include those of protesters torching public property [on May 19], security officers holding weapons and getting ready to fire them, some pornographic images, some deemed offensive to religious institutions, images of protesters [both yellow shirts and red shirts] gathering in political rallies in a way that might trigger a state of unrest or affect national unity or internal security.
