It IS illegal

So the government via Minister of Communication and Information has said it. Playboy magazine is illegal in Indonesia. Congratulations.

I respect the decision if it really is the reflection of what Indonesian people demand. But we should probably be more consistent. So, let’s as well do the following:

• Ban FHM magazine. It teaches s*x.
• Ban Popular magazine. It has nude pictures.
• Ban Cosmopolitan magazine. It runs s*x astronomy.
• Ban Matra magazine. It uncovers Jakarta’s dark side.
  
• Ban Female magazine. It promotes miniskirts.
• Ban Femina magazine. It has consultation forum with sexual innuendo.
• Ban Hai magazine. It caters boys’ adrenalin.
• Ban Ayahbunda magazine. It shows those areas.
• Ban National Geographic. It details how animals do it.
• Ban Cita Cinta magazine. It motivates girls to try stuff.
• Ban Cek&Ricek tabloid. It peeks into everybody’s bedroom.
• Ban RCTI. It has pervert and ghost series.
• Ban SCTV. It has pervert and ghost series, too.
• Ban Metro TV. It is full of violence and blood.
• Ban Lativi. It replays old Indonesian porn movies.
• Ban The Jakarta Post. It embraces market economy – ain’t good for your health.
• Ban Pos Kota. It has naughty hotline ads.
• Ban Cosmopolitan FM. It invents naughty slangs.
• Ban the Internet. It’s the root of all evils.
• Ban DVDs, VCDs … wait, just raid Glodok, Ambassador, Ratu Plaza, and Mangga Dua.
• Ban ... blogs -- what?
  

I hope we're not forgetting that corruption, hunger, diseases, flood are also important...
