Video sharing site YouTube has agreed to take down the videos that ridiculed the Thai king and offended the Thai government. Thailand had threatened to sue Google and YouTube is currently blocked in Thailand.New Mandala has some questions. “Following this development, there are many new questions: When will YouTube be available again in Thailand? Will YouTube now block any future content that is deemed illegal in Thailand? Will there be a global ban on content deemed to breach the Thai lèse majesté provisions? Will the provocateurs who uploaded the offending YouTube videos now just find other outlets for their work? Will they be banned too?”

id:norikku225 at Let's survive the subprime shock! (サブプライムショックを生き残ろう！) [ja] comments on news that the Japanese economy has entered a recession, as reported by national [ja] andinternational [en] media. The blogger says that there is nothing new in this and that the scenario has been the same for the last 15 years or so, during which time Japanese have made an art of overcoming recession; that is why investors were not so disturbed when, in the last trimester of July-September, negative economic growth was announced. Norikku225 draws an analogy between Japanese people and the protagonist in a remake of the movie Groundhog Day[en]: they will live the same day over and over until they mend their way of life.
