Probably put up by some friends of the guy just convicted of defacing the King's image.

Whoever did that video was deliberately trying to be offensive, and the jackass responsible most likely has little knowledge, less appreciation, and no respect for Thai culture. It's not going to help the dumbass in jail - it's just going to fan the flames...

Though not a fan of monarchy in general, nor of censorship, I side with the Thai's. The present king is due every bit of respect given...

I don't think the feet placed above the King's head was done without knowledge of how offensive that would be.

Odd that YouTube will not comply with a request to have the video removed. It's one thing if, say, DG wrote to them over being offended because of a tugboat video, but if a country's official contacts you regarding a case of lèse majesté, it would not appear to be an impossible feat to remove such a video - particularly if it is quite obvious that it was made by a jackass in order to be a jackass.

Gotta admit, while I'm not in favor of censorship, I do side with the Thai authorities in that case.

Shouldn't be too difficult to track down the person behind it.

You would think that You Tube would comply as they have taken far less political items off before, but the question is...what if they don't?
