    Release of Indonesian Playboy sparks protest

    The first Indonesian edition of Playboy magazine has hit the news stands in Jakarta, sparking protests from both fundamentalist Muslims and many of those who bought it.

    The publication of the magazine has brought a threat from the radical Islamic Defenders Front to smash up the publishers offices, the group is infamous in Indonesia for its often violent attacks on nightclubs and liquor outlets.

    It has also brought howls of protest from readers who did not buy it for the articles and who paid the equivalent of $6, a hefty sum in Indonesia, only to find that the magazine is devoid of nudity and tamer than many Indonesian publications.

    One angry caller told talkback radio it was a scandal and that buyers had been deceived.


    NO BOOBIES!

    Not becouse I support their values, but we can't force them to support our values when it's totally against their way of living. If they don't like it, then they don't like it. And they shouldn't be forced to have it. As simple as that.

    Well, I kinda agree here, but the majority get a pain in the neck when they see the stores that sells them. Playboy magazines and the islamic culture simply doesn't match together ;)

    I've never cared much for the majority opinion, here, there, or anywhere. :)
