What is this photo ? Random pixelation in Khmer News.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

What is this photo ? Random pixelation in Khmer News.

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

One of the many wonders of the KOW is the random pixelation of news photos. Handcuffs will be pixelated, while open wounds and dead bodies are shown in close-up in all their gory splendor.

So, have a guess.
What terrible and shocking sight has been censored by Post News today to protect the sensibilities of their delicate readers ?

That's ridiculous, what's the point of publishing that Mondrian style nonsense?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Is there a media watchdog around here?

I'd like to report these unpixelated dead cows. I'm very sensitive to this sort of stuff. newsworthy/villager-and-seven-cows-stru ... =lightning

Is this fashion of pixelation 'a la Mondrian' , (thank you JB for this expression), taking hold in the Khmer news outlets ?
Why did they post this ?

Victim name: Chreung Dong, male, 35 years old, Vietnamese, living in Khna Taing You village, Prek Chrey commune, Koh Thom district, Kandal province, Occupation: Fishing.
The pixelation in THIS photo is understandable, but what information did the 'photo' above bring to the table ?

Elementary, my dear ceoNewsHound.
This image shows that the deceased was found among green vegetation. The deceased has black hair, is wearing grey shorts, and is naked from the waist up.
Alternatively, could it be possible that they have found yet another variation of Split Enz's True Colours album cover.

I think she must have been arrested for playing Minecraft.

From memory, only; none of these resemble any forum member’s member. If ever the pixelation was needed…?

I think its a reverse reaction to previous practices of censoring absolutely nothing, including the most horrible shit you can imagine. Remember the scarring things you used to see in the newspapers here, anyone? I'm sure you do...
