Thailand gets huge boost to their crippled Tourism since the Tsunami and they whine instead.

Funny, I saw lots of Thais wearing bikinis when I went to the beach in thailand.
Most of them were actual women.

Miss Universe organizers scrambled on Thursday to calm a furor over photos of bikini-clad contestants posing near an ancient Buddhist temple in pageant host Thailand after the images infuriated religious leaders. Pray that this does not end up with murderous Buddhist rioting in the streets!

The photos, which showed beauty queens on a Bangkok river cruise with the famed Wat Arun, or "Temple of Dawn," in the background, were swiftly removed from the pageant Web site. Using a temple as a background for cheesecake shots is is gross poor taste.

I read in a Soldier of Fortune a couple years ago about one child abuser who was busted by Thai officials when he dropped off a roll of film with images of a 6 year old being raped with an object. The proprietor of the photo-development store was incensed - it was really outrageous - that the object used was a Buddha statue.

But religious leaders and culture watchdogs are still upset, saying the episode violated traditional values and morality just days before a key Buddhist holiday. "traditional values and morality?"
Thailand is the world leader in the sex industry. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi must be consultants to Thai religious leaders.

They're full of contradictions. Buddhist praise self control and worship a fat ass Buddha that has to weigh at least 500 pounds. Self control indeed.

Well, at least they didn't riot, murder, vandalize and loot as do a certain other religion does when they perceive an insult.

I think it's the place not the dress.
I got no problems with bikini photos, but I think I'd have qualms about a bikini shoot at the Wailing Wall.... Similarly, Catholics might have problems with a bikini shot at the Vatican or St. Patrick's cathedral.
I doubt that Jews or Catholics would riot about this, however -- and I note that the Buddhists didn't either.
