Today it was reported in Bangkok that senior protesters gathered together in a rally that was ignored.

The PAD have now successfully been ignored for over 4 months, making them the world's most ignored organisation ever.
PAD leader and spokesman, Silyum Watsitonwat, was quoted as saying 'Today my organisation have been ignored again, and for over four months now. Last week we were ignored all over Bangkok, and the country. We have tried so hard, but still we can't help it, everyone ignores us'.
He contined 'There is some serious ignoring going on in Thailand today. We have stayed in the government offices in Bangkok for months now, but why? Only to be ignored. I'm not so sure if I can take anymore ignoring. When will it all end?
The PAD have continuously tried to not be ignored, but have had little success. Areas of the capital have seen them gather in large numbers only to be forgotten as people get on with their lives.
Parts of Thailand have associated the PAD with 'the Bangkok elite' and business leaders, but for an organisation to be ignored for this long, it is hard to fathom that anybody really cares at all.
"Its hard to take, all this ignoring. All we want is someone to take us seriously', said Watsitonwat.
Senior Army Man, Gen. Whodunya Watchit, was quoted as saying 'Yes we have ignored them, they are very ignorable. I suggest everyone carry on ignoring them, who knows? Maybe they will go home?'
The PAD last week took over major airports in Thailand, in a final bid to not be ignored, however, the country still couldn't help it.
Watsitonwat concluded 'You should try to be ignored as long as we have, it's not easy.'















So very true.
There was an interesting discussion on the BBC Asian service today that basically said if PAD leaves the airport they will be forgotten in the main as everyone will be more concerned with getting stranded passengers home and rebuilding the damaged Tourism sector and the best way to do this is not to mention PAD or politics and highlight the country for its beauty and culture.
