BANGKOK The Thai government blocked access Monday to a U.S.-based pornography website that uses an image of Buddha as its logo and is calling on Buddhists around the world to condemn the site, an official said.
The Chicago-based website, buddha-porn.com, features sexually explicit material beneath an image of a golden statue of a seated Buddha and contains pornographic images divided up in different categories named, the Buddha Galleries, Nirvana Galleries, and Satori Galleries the last two referring to Buddhist beliefs about reaching enlightenment.
About 90 per cent of Thailand's 65 million people are Buddhist.
It certainly crosses the line in a Buddhist society, said Culture Ministry official Ladda Tangsuphachai, adding that the site was blocked by the Information Ministry after culture officials brought it to their attention. We ask Buddhists around the world to send letters to condemn the website, he said.
The Foreign Ministry is asking the website' s administrators, through the U.S. Embassy in Thailand, to remove all Buddhist references from the site, Mr. Ladda said.
I don't know what their intention is, but I assume they did not know that this is unacceptable in our culture, Mr. Ladda said.
The website' s home page offers this disclaimer: This site is in no way associated with religion and any religious symbols on this site are just a joke.

I generally oppose censorship, but in this particular case, I wholeheartedly endorse it - not to 'protect' potential viewers in the Kingdom, but rather to 'punish' the website owner and rob them of a potential customer base - this would only be effective, though, if the same agency blocking this site, and calling for activism against it, were to extend the economic boycott to all other sites owned by the website's owners.

They knew fully well, I am certain.

'mundane' as China Sailor put it, best describes the cheap, crappy content.
Of course, it comes as no surprise that latenight finds it of entertaining value.
