Thailand recently banned access to Youtube in their country after finding a short video clip that was considered insulting to their monarch.

Despite the video being removed, the ban remains.

“That’s not enough. We want the picture removed, too, before we unblock it,” said Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom, the minister of information and technology, adding that Thai authorities have contacted YouTube to request the removal of all traces of the video.

There’s nothing better than bad publicity to move some traffic. Before the clip was removed it recieved 66,553 views from Youtubers around the globe.

There’s no word when folks form Thailand will be able to get their video fixes again.

How do you feel about entire countries blocking access to popular websites?
