July 19, 201511 yr Absolutely hilarious clip from John Oliver. The part relating to Thailand starts about 1 minute into the clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWNbekZVyKk As luck would have it, I noticed a pickup truck with swastika emblems during my recent trip to Isan. Not the greatest pic, but I was able to snap a quick phone photo: In addition to the one on the back window, the decal on the driver's door is also a swastika. Anyone else notice these while out and about?
July 19, 201511 yr The swastika is also a Buddhist symbol, in Sanskrit it means auspicious or lucky...
July 19, 201511 yr Thank you very much for sharing. "KFC calls Hitler fried chicken extremely distasteful" made my day! Hilarious! Overall a funny and well researched show. The op is correct, on the truck is a nazi symbol, not a buddhist symbol. I have a large collection of pictures I took of nazi symbols used for fashion in Thailand and will post some day on my blog (to cover the entire subject, I need three posts, hence long preparation).
July 19, 201511 yr I am really liking the John Oliver show. Brilliantly funny with enough bite to really show some thought. The actual show is on HBO, which is a pay TV service that I do not have, so I am very happy they put so many clips on You Tube. Looking forward to your upcoming posts, Christian.
July 19, 201511 yr Thanks for the post. it is sick, sad and funny all at the same time. Not so much now but still a sight for sore eyes is the guys on motorbikes (mostly Farang but not all) who wear German replica storm trooper (Sturmtruppen) helmets.
July 25, 201511 yr I put this parody together a couple of years ago. I hope you enjoy some of the humor.
July 27, 201511 yr The parody is based on footage from a movie "The Downfall" (original title in German "Der Untergang"), which I consider a great movie. On the subject of Hitler parodies ("Ich hock' in meinem Bonker" in English):
