Thailand Bans Buddha Porn

A site currently in the news is Buddha Porn, a site that has just been banned in Thailand.

As they say in that article, the site has very little to do with Buddhism and rather a lot to do with porn. In fact, it has absolutely nothing to do with Buddhism or Buddha whatsoever. I can't even see what its purpose is meant to be!

I mean, were there meant to be people out there searching Google for 'buddha porn'? If so, then exactly what were they expecting? Whatever they were expecting, they would probably have been rather disappointed by this site which has absolutely no connection to that religion whatsoever. What WERE they expecting? I dare not even think about it!

Some porn sites do search desperately for a gimmick to make them stand out from the hackneyed crowd of niche porn sites. But some of them really are utterly desperate. This one is a case in point. Mind you, they are far from being the only site around where the content bears little or no resemblance to the actual title.

Don't worry though about whether Mega Penetrations features exactly what it says. There's not much doubting with that title, I assure you. No Buddhism though, obviously.
