Bizarre Chulalongkorn University videos
Addendum: Less than a day after the two Chula videos started getting a lot of attention on Twitter, they've now both been made private by the university, but… they've been reuploaded by another user, so don't panic, although the picture quality isn't quite up to scratch.
Chulalongkorn University (Thai: จุฬาลงกรณ์มหาวิทยาลัย) (commonly abbreviated as "Chula") is the oldest university in Thailand[2] and has long been considered the country's most prestigious university.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Exhibit B sounds suspiciously like the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Hmm, you do not understand humor and/or Sanuk and/or parody, or what is so "bizarre" about it?
Nothing, Ester. It's perfectly normal for a country's top university to mimic North Korean propaganda with poorly written lyrics about throwing books away, being gay and retaking exams. Perfectly normal.
Looks like you have only a limited ability for sarcasm, but on the other hand have some talent for paranoia and chicanery.
Oh, I don't quite think they mean the word "gay" in a sexual way, BTW. But you are welcome to entertain such erotic thoughts. To each his own.
I'll be honest, I didn't see anything erotic in those videos.
PS: I still did not get why you though those videos were "bizarre". To me it seems you are being a bit of a curmudgeon.
They're bizarre because the level of English used by Thailand's top uni is terrible. The lyrics themselves are laughable. And then there's the North Korean marching song that is supposed to be some kind of uni anthem. Do you honestly think those kind of videos are normal and reflect well on the nation's finest academic institution?
I find the videos quite funny. They made me laugh. They aren't supposed to be taken seriously.
Indeed, they have made me laugh.
Yes, those videos are funny, and whether you like it or not, the English language is not the exclusive property of the English anymore, people are free to use it as they wish, whether your precious little ears are hurt by it or not.
Again, do give the performer a bit of credit, just because they are not white does not mean they are stupid.
PS: Re. North Korean propaganda, yes, they use such imagery, because it is so over the top it is funny. Loosen up! Did you really spend time in Thailand? You cannot have been very happy there if you always were so stuck up.
