Saint Jack's



This is a copy of an ad published this month in a Philadelphia weekly which spoofed King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand whilke promoting a Thai-themed barroom, Saint Jack's restaurant in Olde City Philadelphia. Apparently the Thai government doesn't think the illustration depicting the 74-year-old monarch dressed like an urban hipster was funny. For days, the restaurant has been besieged with angry phone calls from Thai diplomats demanding that she withdraw the ad and apologize - or risk souring relations between Thailand and the United States.
