There's a brilliant epilogue to Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities where he discusses the editions of his book around the world.  The Thai lese majeste laws prohibit bad-mouthing any king, anywhere, any time. 

...

Did I get it right? So for me saying that, let say, Charles X was a waste of air is making me guilty of lese majeste under Thai laws?

Well, we have sort of lese-majeste thing too. Insulting (or even "attempting" to insult) the President is a criminal offense and there were few convictions, although none resulted in doing a prison term.

Yes, it's retarded.
