Woman Appalled after Discovering 'Swastika' Wrapping paper
news *fail

It's not a Nazi swastika, it's a Buddhist symbol. I learned this on a tour in Taiwan, where the street maps are filled with these little symbols, which mark the location of Buddhist temples.

Wow, that's some terrible reporting. And it was such a great opportunity to present something interesting to their viewers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

Woman Appalled after Discovering 'Swastika' Wrapping paper
When I first came to Thailand, I saw the occasional swastika emblazoned on things that made me double-take -- a kid's t-shirt being the one that I remember the most. When I asked Thai people about it (just politely asking, not like 'ohMyGawd, why is everyone racist WHARRGARBLE') I got the response that the symbol here isn't linked to nazism, it is a Buddhist symbol, etc., as mentioned above.

That was enough explanation for me until I started to see street vendor stands with nazi flags (red background, white circle, black swastika), eagle with swastika logos, and even motorcycle helmets in the SS soldier style with SS logos.

Now my impression is that an average Thai person doesn't associate a swastika with nazism, and might purchase some item displaying the symbol because either:
A) they don't know/care about the symbol's link to WW2/Hitler/Nazis OR any Buddhist symbology and just think it looks cool (which I tend to agree with -- it is a simple yet striking shape if you try to mentally disassociate it from any ethos etc.), or
B) they know it as a Buddhist symbol, and feel that link overrides any to nazism.

But those explanations go out the window for the vendors that sell the flags, symbols, SS posters etc. all in one location, with no "Eastern"/Buddhist swastikas in the mix.

At first glance I thought the title was "Up-close PORNography of a leopard seal." Oh well, I watched it anyway.

"Um not sure how the second one is supposed to work...maybe the chick is supposed to have a strap on?"

No, no, no. Obviously he is supposed to wear a strap-on facing backwards.

Getting Ready for VideoSift 4.1 (Sift Talk Post)
>> ^dag:
^Thanks silvercord. On your last point- covert paid shills are a threat on all community sites. We're protected from this a little by not being quite the size and therefore the easy targets of a Digg or Reddit. I know there have been cases on Digg of top users being paid substantial amounts for a front page post.

I sometimes wonder if notable Sifters have been approached for something like this ... Probably a topic for another post.


I was approached by a major multinational corporation...until they looked at my enormous PQ and realized I garner little to no respect here....

"Someone else could get this on Christmas Day"

Yes, some poor Jewish family may receive Christmas gifts wrapped in this.
