Ew.

There is something just creepy about this. I commend the protesters spirits and determination, but ... using real blood? Their own blood? (Better than the blood of their enemies, sure.)

It makes me wonder why I feel it's so gross, but I know it can't be sanitary.

Now with video:

I don't have much of an opinion on the actual substance of the protests, because while I supported the Thaksin supporters during the coup, I've since seen how each side in Thailand is now using street protests to try to overturn the results of real elections.
