I don't think I could get wood knowing a general was running the country.
It would be impossible to fuck with jeeps driving around.
No shit!...

Something it seems may have escaped a lot of people is the simple fact that press is press in this day and age...good or bad is no longer relevant in an age where attention spans are diminishing rapidly...in an onslaught of information in any given day the human brain has little time or energy for details...people hear Thailand Thailand Thailand and 3 months later as they're trying to decide where to holiday what country is likely to come to the surface?...Thailand
Advertising has known this for years and so have hollywood publicists...

maybe overly optimistic for some bents of mind, but perhaps this development is essential to human development. if we are to eventually solve some intractable problems we're going to have to really advance our brain's ability to process information. stimulus might seem like overstimulus to our older minds, but a great many youngsters don't have a problem with it, and are developing capabilities that we can't even imagine. they're mentally moving so fast they can't even think as slowly as we do, and that's a single generation.
case in point, that people will just think 'thailand' and holiday. maybe focussing attention on negative shit that likely has always gone on is no clearer an idea of 'thailand' than someone imagining brochure images and enticing marketing is getting. perhaps focussing on details isn't as effective a way of grasping something than we perceive. perhaps having an apparent grasp of reality (and the sense of control that taking it in in bite-size details gives)has assumed too much importance at the expense of seeing things in an entirely different way that might be a whole lot more effective over time than the way we perceive.
off topic yah. maybe.
There are few problems in life that cannot be solved with toast.
One of them, however, is opening a can of corned beef with that stupid key. This cannot easily be done at the best of times, and toast is of surprisingly little use in resolving the issue.
When do we move out, Colonel?
We need to go.
Alot of the headlines do nothing but a favour to Thailand... especially towards the younger traveller looking for something a little bit mental. One of the reasons the place does so well is that its a little bit dangerous.
This is it... The apocalypse.
Until it gets dangerous.

Daniel Bedingfield claimed that his new album is what it would sound like if Sting, Stevie Wonder and Micheal Jackson were in a basement together - I haven't got the album so I'll have to imagine the sound of a blind bloke and a Geordie kicking the shit out of a pedophile.
