Thailand Scariness

I've been randomly reading Thailand- and other-southeast-Asia-related tidbits in advance of my trip.

One encouraging sign - they really care about grammar there.

"The proposed TV system will give a suitability rating to every TV program that goes to air. Ratings will then be used to specify what time of the day the show can be aired. A show designated as content requiring parental guidance will only be allowed to screen between 9am and 4pm on weekdays and 8pm to 5am on weekends and public holidays. A program will be assigned a PG rating if it shows "people speaking with wrong grammar."

No mercy. Remember, if our culture exalted grammar, we would never have gone to war in Iraq.
