Another WTF Week in Jakarta

The past week has been a mixture of the usual Indonesian bullshit, highlights include new Internet Censorship Laws, complaints against Islamophobic films made by a Dutch MP and Chastity Belts for massage parlour workers. It surprises me that the people have time for these things as I thought they were all too busy corrupting and thieving.

As always, Indonesia gets it all fucked up, an ex military thug who was sentenced to a substantial amount of porridge for his part in the East Timor massacres gets all charges against him dropped while a genuine activist from Ambon gets sentenced to twenty years inside for waving a flag and dancing in front of the President. I must be immune to this topsy turvey fuckwittery as I no longer bat an eyelid when I read the news.

Despite all the concerns for the spiritual and mental health of the people, some ladies have thrown caution to the wind, unhooked their Bra’s and placed them on public display.

OK, this exhibition is taking place at the French Consulate/Cultural Centre (a place where nobody goes because they do not know it exists) in Surabaya, East Java; but , the kicker is that the said brassieres have been decorated and adorned with messages and knick knacks to symbolise, umm, err, I’m not quite sure really.

The exhibition is called “BRAngerous - Woman Art Exhibition“.

And more in a similar vein.....

I await with baited breath for the next awe inspiring artistic caper, possibly with a member of Parliament waving a flag and dancing while his wife strips on a chrome pole, watched by a group of TNI Thugs on a stag night, all armed with Skeleton keys for the chastity belts with “Debbie does Denpasar” showing on the big screen.

Oh yes, and Charlton Heston died, thanks for the gun Chuck.

    At least the new Electronic Information and Transaction Law will prohibit the distribution of slander, pornography, gambling, blackmail, lies, threats and racist comments in any electronic format.

    There are sites, although hosted in Singapore, are built, managed and administered from jakarta. The site contains numerous lies, threats and slanderous posts. Many are still visible in the historical archives. There are also a number of posts that would be considered racist or pornographic.

    I expect the site will be cleaned up or blocked. and all the better for the people of Indonesia.
