Anti-pornography rally in Jakarta

I think their idea of p0rn is a bit different from ours, but 5 years in jail for a public kiss seems a bit extreme no matter who's definition you accept.

And I would wager that if one dug a bit deeper, that nearly the only place in Indonesia where "erotic dancing" takes place on a regular basis is on the island of Bali, which is predominately Hindu, and whose dance rituals are world famous for their spiritual sensuality.

All in all, this is just one more example of the "my way or the highway" attitude adopted by the "Religion of Peace"™

More than 10,000 Indonesians march in support of a bill which could make public kissing a criminal offence.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
