I hate to bite the hand that feeds me so many news articles that I comment on here at J.I.P., but this article by Pattaya City News on the Thai Navy's test-firing of an exocet missle is just brimming with snide and bitchy comments.Maybe they hired a new writer?
I'm not criticizing the sarcastic comments themselves... after all, pretty much every post on J.I.P which links to Pattaya City News contains the same thing. However, I have made it my job to find the humor, the perplexing and illogical aspects of the news and offer my opinion on it. Pattaya City News — to the best of my knowledge — has not (at least not on such an otherwise mundane and un-noteworthy story as this).
Well, it's your gig, P.C.N. If you want to report the news with some added scornful spice and snooty swagger, be my guest.

Given the doom and gloom they usually report I though it was rather funny.
You never know, maybe Howard will even have a critical word to say about his brethren in the Police one day - but somehow I doubt it.
I didn't think it was funny because every country occasionally test fires weapons, and the bitchiness that they wrote could have related to any country firing any missle.
If they were making fun of something exclusively and exceptionally Thai, then it's funny.
Yes,in retrospect you are quite right. I guess I meant "funny" as opposed to the normal diet of tripe and police back slapping that makes up 99% of their content.
