SICHONSTEVE Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Does anyone at TV critique these posts before they are made public ? - What an inept and substandard article - its obvious the composer is a "Farang Hater" and just simply a "Hater" in general. The writers fabrication due to lack of real content in this article certainly makes it a fictional piece of writing - I would not go any further into the articles state of literature which would dignify it - not to give the article too much praise which it certainly does not deserve. I take strong offense to the content of this article and "spin" pieces of writing such as this - the author not having enough true content or literary writing abilities to produce an unbiased and resourceful article - resorts to filling the pages with garbage. The TV community deserves better than this and this writer should find another profession. I have not seen this many abuses of an article on TV before. It seems the composer is the same typical person - anyone can meet - on any given day - which simply has their sights set on undermining the "Farang" community. Most likely the same person who directly or indirectly draws a paycheck from a "Farang" source of revenue each and every month - thus "Bite The Hand That Feeds You" is most likely the case. The very small percentage of "Farangs" that are visiting for 15 to 30 days would be cheering over this article - however - those of us who live here - support the economy more than 10 times that of an average Thai per month - despise random thinking such as the content of this article being publicized. If this is the trend for TV to support random writing like this - I will certainly being changing the channel to a better quality of life resource for news and tid-bits. You "Farang Haters" can simply walk away - stay away from all Farangs and their money - don't have anything to do with us - and I bet your pockets will be empty and you will want once again to walk beside us and give those fake superficial smiles while you hold your hand out to collect a paycheck. I despise articles such as this and everything they stand for (which is literally nothing). "Farangs " are here to stay - if you don't like it - contact your public officials (LOL - who represents you - LOL) GET A LIFE - OPEN YOUR EYES - THERE IS A REAL WORLD OUT THEIR COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM YOUR MAKE BELIEVE ONE - the same one that obviously functions quite well without "YOU" contributing any real value as you have expressed in this article. Some people live for the attention and strive for the limelight. I'm not sure that jimiboy is enjoying that right now!!! Probably took him a good 30 minutes to compose it as well looking for the most hateful words and expressions in the dictionary.

animatic Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 i just wanred to add my congrats to the list. this was probably the best post I have read on any board for ages. and the responses, to date, have contributed greatly to its going down in the anals of chatroom history. pointed out to us yesterday we even featured it on 105 FM, giving your board the credit for it of course and recommending folk visit you to get a full read. TV is a constant source of good info.. and of course satire cheers T Were you actually trying to say annals, as in record or events or did you really mean anals? Some TV members have been accused of that. I think he got it right the 1st time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuian Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 yes, pure enlightenment! Now I know why Rowan Atkinson has so many fans here, cause his humor is genuinely blissful, of buddha nature, something to howl about for hours the very simplistic mind... muhahahahahaha... sometimes I get the feeling that the whole thing here is not much else than a cheap slapstick comedy show, only that the foggy, grey, cold, rainy background is missing completely, where one would feel depressed and down enough to have to enrich ones life with such high scoring quality entertainment out of the goggle box. fully agree...
