I know this item is a little "pop-culture" for this blog, but I have to call hypocrisy on this one. According to this report, Lady Gaga (an American entertainer of some kind) is being criticized by the Thai ministry over an "inappropriate use" of the Thai Flag. The use they have an issue with (Pictured above) was to tie it on to her motorcycle during her show.OK, I get how they might have an issue with that, and they aren't exactly throwing her in prison or anything so I suppose it's all fair game. But speaking as a man whose been to Bangkok several times, I can tell you about a whole lot of uses for a Thai flag that are both fairly common there and WAY more inappropriate.
I'm just sayin.
