Thai army prohibits greetings from Hunger Games.

 This piece of news published 4th of june of 2014 in the news web 2014live.com, explains that the Thai army have prohibited the greeting from the movie "The Hunger Games", which is performed with three fingers, because it has become a symbol of the opposition after the coup of the army on May. 

In the movies and books, the greeting is used as a protest against a totalitarian regime,  but the Thai protesters gave their own meaning. Some people says that the three fingers stand Liberty, equality and fraternity. Another people says that the three fingers stand freedom, elections and democracy. 

I've chosen this piece of new, because I love this books. It's really shocking how the rebel greeting can be caught from the fiction, to become part of the reality. 


  • Greeting: Saludo
  • Coup: Golpe de estado
  • Farewell: Adiós, despedida
