Thailand Adresses Morality

This was interesting (and no, not for the obvious reason). In Thailand scantly clad dancing young ladies are being hired by street vendors to help generate sales (there's that sex sells thing again). They're known as 'Cyote Girls', a title inspired by the movie 'Cyote Ugly'. Recently this stirred controversy when they performed near a Buddhist temple, on one of the religion's holiest days. The Queen and Culture Ministry have stepped in and banned them from dancing in public places, particularly near Buddhist temples. - From the Article "Royal Displeasure Over `Coyote Girls'", Wednesday December 27, AP News.
And of course there were protesters who felt the Queens line of moral judgement was too hard. I guess they have Liberal Leftists there too.
