Americans arrested in Thailand for exposing themselves at religious temple

Do these two deserve to be rescued by White House intervention, like the three thieving UCLA basketball players?

Well, I doubt anyone is going to rush to help them cover their asses. :slight_smile:

The Thai people are over the moon at their arrest.

What is wrong with people?! What is up with this obsession with exposing butts in foreign countries?! These guys got off easily… could have been worse:

Some Americans fail to realize that being a jerk or a thief is not tolerated in many other countries.

OMG they’re not even YOUNG, they’re both 38!

They apparently had a travel blog - Traveling Butts. Or something like that. Geez.

They’ll be the butt of many jokes when they get home, but hopefully they’ll be able to put it all behind them.

Come on now CC, you guys are disappointing me by leaving all the many, many obvious puns by the wayside! Are you really going to leave all the fun to me and BB?

They should not have done it. No “butts” about it!

America’s finest right there

They really are the bottom of the barrel.

Heh. A friend of mine works for the state department, and is currently working at the US embassy in Thailand. He deals with dumb American tourist issues constantly… the temple makes this bit of idiocy unique, though. Usually it’s a lot seedier (sex tourism issues) but not so high profile.
