Culture Minister Sukumol Khunploem yesterday pointed out that Thai society found the Thailand's Got Talent episode on Sunday, featuring a 23-year-old female contestant painting on a canvas with her bare breasts, unacceptable.
The ministry hence will call a meeting with the show organisers, the content editing crew and the content-censoring agency to discuss about this and find solutions together, she said.
Saying the show’s evening airtime still had many young viewers, hence exposing children to such image and confusing them, Sukumol said parents had to provide guidance about the image because, even with a claim that this was an artistic expression, there should be some limits in presenting it. She said that the program producer must provide explanation and that this inappropriate content should have been cut as the show wasn’t live. She said that she personally astonished by the contestant’s show in which the topless contestant also turned to the face the camera.
