| BANGKOK: At last Thai people have something to talk about other than divisive politics or street protests.
She is Nong Ja, a 20-year-old student whose song about an itchy ear has taken the country by storm, attracting a staggering 16 million hits on YouTube, along with 100,000 ''likes'' on her Facebook page.
Ms Ja is Thailand's hottest act at the moment. Her photo has been on the front pages of newspapers, television stations flood her with invitations, and she has stage appearance bookings well into 2012.
But Ms Ja's performances have outraged social conservatives in the predominantly Buddhist nation and prompted many complaints to the Ministry of Culture, which is considering the matter.
