    It was HILARIOUS! It takes a special talent to so upset a judge like that and to get a reaction. Now that is ART!, reactionary art, but art all the same (not as impressed by the painting). God I wish this had happened on the American version -- where a minor wardrobe malfunction causes a national crisis.....

    Patpong and RCA or where ever town you are in this is all done behind closed doors not on TV to be viewed by all ages and what is meant to be a family show a very big different

    What is worse for Thailand? One woman painting with her breasts or politician's corruption?

    Oh the irony of it LOL

    This makes Lady Gaga look like an angel.

    But I hope the ministry will be rushing down to the police station to file charges - only fair!

    Culture Ministry is right more then 50% of painted ladies & Lady boys shows were just rude or just not Thai

    Culture ministry should try promoting Thai culture instead of trying to be the morality police .Its embarrassing .
