[LJFilter] YouTube banned in Thailand? Not sure whose side to take here...[More:]

Note: Said LJ-user is a friend of mine who is living in Thailand to teach English. He's also the one who first told me about the coup d'etat which incidentally took place one day before my birthday.
I'm sorry; it's Friday and I couldn't. I tried, I really did, but tl;dr. One paragraph summary, maybe? So I can still feel edumacated?

I think this bit of dialogue pretty much sums it up for you:

[Minister] Dr. Sitthichai: There is a video on YouTube that is against Thai law and offends the majority of the Thai people.

Google/YouTube: Remind me again, is Thailand an oil-rich country full of Muslims who riot and kill at even the slightest prevarication, real or imagined?

Dr. Sitthichai: Umm, no.

Google/YouTube: Fuck you.

That sounds like it, pretty much.
