YouTube offered Saturday to “educate” Thai officials who want to block individual clips from its video-sharing service, hoping to end an impasse that arose after a slideshow mocking the country’s revered king appeared online.

Thailand blocked YouTube on Wednesday after its owner, Google, refused to remove the slideshow of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

The initial video, which was withdrawn Thursday, showed pictures of feet over the king’s head — a major cultural taboo in Thailand, where feet are considered dirty and offensive — and graffiti scrawled over the 79-year-old monarch’s face. At least one still frame from the video remained on the site.

A variation of the withdrawn video reappeared Friday, along with another one that showed a picture of the king superimposed with a monkey’s face. It also carried messages with profanities and said Thailand’s “leaders are evil and hate free speech.”

YouTube said Thailand’s information ministry was having difficulty blocking individual videos.
