Anything to do with the King is taken very seriously here. But what the government fails to realize is just how seriously I enjoy Terry's YouTube posts.

YouTube, may you RIP

I love thailand and have been many many times but I also love a free and open internet.

HMMMM....

I'm not sure what to do with my anger and disappointment...

PK you must be able to find one of those sites to surf remotely from.

Man, governments need to stay the hell away from the internet.

Hah. I was going to say, "At least you are invincible to being rickrolled."

Interesting governmental issues going on here. The government of Thailand blocked YouTube because of videos posted by other users in other countries that mocked their king. And yet YouTube caved and removed the videos. That's a portentous moment, with some significant implications for us content creators. I'm not sure I like where this is headed, but the CEO of YouTube made a statement on it:

That crazy Rick and his crazy antics...And that dancing, jeez.

 

[Terry_Lasater]

Heh heh... I sniffed that one out and decided to step back and wait for someone else to take the bait.

That said, I've been Rickroll'd many times.

Dude thats a good music video.

 

[Terry_Lasater]

The funny thing (to me) is the number of posters who didn't know of Rick Astley prior to being Rickroll'd.

proxy.org !!!

Well, YouTube is once again blocked.

They unblocked it for just a few days, only to block it again. Video tease!


Aram, the anonymous proxy sites will show the YouTube website but I haven't been able to get actual videos to play. They just say "Loading...". Same with all the other proxy sites. But it's better than nothing. Thanks.

Did you at least get Rickroll'd in the interim?
