Thai Premier Spams Nation, Prompts Consumer Outcry

Posted by timothy on from the if-you-wish-the-crisis-to-continue-do-not-respond dept.

patiwat writes "Newly installed Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's first act was to send a spam SMS to tens of millions of Thai cell phone subscribers. The message, signed 'Your PM,' urged people to help him solve the Thai political crisis and respond with their postal code at a charge of 3 baht (10 US cents). The new premier was criticized for violating privacy regulations."

    I thought you right wingers were still hunkered down somewhere praying due to the end of the world being nigh. Has Rush said it was OK to come out?

    Why stop with your rant about Obama pre-empting your fav show and move on to something else, like birds will start attacking, blood will spill from the sky, locusts will descend etc...

    What you say has happened every new president for my entire life. Your comments in the last paragraph have nothing to do with the article even though you try to tie them to it and simply is as an attempt to push your political agenda. You should focus that energy on cleaning up your party instead of putting the other down. Of course, it is simpler to be negative.
