A Thai professor destroys a phone

Wow that is just insane. I found this video on pantip on the topic of how to deal with people who BB too much–text messaging using their Blackberry smart phone. The professor was ridiculously livid, she just walked up to him unexpectedly, took his phone, and threw it on the ground. It shattered everywhere. Scary.

I’m assuming this is a mass communication class or some sort of business class on the topic of advertisement, the professor was listing the importance of radio as a cheap and accessible media for all of Thailand. I couldn’t really hear, it was something along those lines. As she is giving her lecture about radio, dude in the front is texting and paying more attention to his phone than her. You kept hearing beep–beep, you know the received text messaging sound. Then his phone buzzed like an alarm clock, it’s a call coming in. This mother-fudger actually picked up his phone in the middle of a class lecture and chatted with the person who called him. As she said ‘what does this mean’ she walked over to him, took his phone and just threw it on the ground. The girls in the classroom shrieked in shock. The professor gave the BB abuser a look and went back to her lecture like nothing happened. ‘Let me do this again,’ she said.  Holy.

There is a debate on youtube on whether this video is fake or real? It seemed real to me, but why is someone recording a video clip in the classroom. The professor’s emotions were so raw and the shock reaction among the students seemed natural to me. ?? I don’t know. A lot of people agree, he deserved it. It was ill-mannered of him to be disrupting the class by texting and taking calls while his professor is giving a lecture. People are praising the professor on this one. But then there some who thought she overacted, she had no right to break his phone. She should have ordered him to leave the classroom.
