Source: Thai PM leaves cardboard cutout to answer questions - BBC NewsThailand's prime minister has taken a novel approach to avoiding questions at a news conference, by leaving a cardboard cutout to do the job.
Prayuth Chan-ocha briefly spoke to an audience outside Government House in Bangkok, before the life-sized replica was brought out.
"If you want to ask any questions on politics or conflict, ask this guy," Mr Prayuth said, then walked away waving.

It may seem unusual for the prime minister of his country to ever do such a thing but, even though it may seem comical at first, there is a serious reason as to why he did it. Really just about the political turmoil going on there at the moment. Just the thought of introduction a cardboard cutout of himself was a funny idea, even though he may have done it out of sheer cowardice :lol:
