April Fools!
Posted by Stuart at 12:00 AM on April 02, 2005It's official now, I was tricked. I'm an April Fool.
Yes, the "blocking" of 2bangkok.com was, in fact, an April Fool's Joke. And a good one at that! Not only was it successful in its execution, this joke was one to make everyone think a little bit about the world around them. Unfortunately, the Thai Government does block websites that it feels are unappropriate or dangerous. For those who think that the Internet (or any kind of media) should be censored might have thought twice when the censorship seemed to affect them directly.
In any case, the site is back up. I for one hope it stays that way!
Well, that was a pretty good joke.
Told ya! ;)
I was just wondering whether to send a letter of outrage to the local Thai embassy.
I got fooled since it arrived a day EARLY here in San Francisco, and I wasn't ready for the spoofs. But it was the best goof for the day.
Damn, They got me. Hahaha.
