There's a discussion in the Buddhist sutras about whether the Buddha could be a dog, or whether a dog could be the Buddha. It's a philosophical question, covered on many websites about Buddhism. Sometimes they include a famous photo of the Buddha with a dog head to illustration the discussion, and I see no offense in this, but the Thai government will probably go after these sites. And Cafe Press, which sells plenty of t-shirts with logos that might seem offensive.

That doesn't make any sense at all. My site is always respectful of Thai culture - but the government is another issue. Thai politics are just as boring as US politics - but my general impression isn't all that favorable. Well, I don’t believe they have the right to hack foreign websites.
