Tangeranging at it's best!

The Orang Tangerangi’s surpassed themselves again this week with yet another display of fuckwittery.

On this occasion a scene straight out of “The Exorcist” was played out in the streets, with, it appears, no-one noticing that something was amiss.

During a protest rally, twelve of the group started

“writhing, shrilling and staring blankly as if possessed by spirits, locally know as kesurupan.”

As the Jakarta Post further explained…

One of the 12 allegedly possessed workers from PT Satia Liprindo claimed to be the Queen of the South Sea, or Nyi Roro Kidul as she is known in Javanese legend.

"I am Nyi Roro Kidul, you all leave now," she said, walking slowly and speaking in a deep voice.

Later some workers reportedly lost consciousness at the factory compound in Batu Ceper, Tangerang municipality.

The drama did not stop about 300 other workers from continuing the rally and voicing their demands.

The reason for the rally….

The company's labor union chairman Budi Haryanto said the workers also demanded the company's president director take action against the directors and human resources division for allowing a rift to develop between the management and workers. They claimed management had banned workers from establishing a labor union at the company.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against labour unions, but, when the shop stewards start doing a King Canute and kesurupanning around, one wonders what their next set of demands will be.

PS: I’ll let you know how Tera Patrick is when she “comes” around!

Tits out in Tangerang

Forget the Blok M for naughty pursuits; even during Ramadan there were alternative sources of nudity to waken even the todger of the most devout.

There are many ways a developer will force people from their land if those residents are unwilling to sell. There is no compulsory purchase law that can be applied and the usual tactics are burning the houses (Electrical Fault said the investigators as they pocketed their brown envelopes) or, as was the case in Tangerang cut the access to the Kampung and force them out that way.

"We can't let this happen. The developer has blocked our kampung with a wall and now they are adding an embankment, leaving no access for us to get in and out," Rosidah, one of the housewives, said.

She said the developer was trying to intimidate some 50 families who still refused to sell their land to the developer at the very low prices offered.

"We just need access in and out of our kampung. Our children need to go to school. The developer cannot confine us here," Sutini, another housewife, said.

What were the locals to do, no politician to back and support them, not enough money to obtain legal advice, their husbands were presumably sleeping the day away and big burly workmen were trying to block them in. Easy, mount a sexual attack on the devout workers who must refrain from sexual activity and impure thoughts during the day.

Sneaking up on their prey, twenty housewives staged a rally at the building site and simultaneously took off their dresses to protest and hopefully shock the workers starting construction of a business complex.

The now naked and angry housewives threw bricks and debris at several excavating machines around the kampong, presumably while the workers averted their eyes from this heaving mass of female flesh (Not, bet they all ran to the nearest toilet block to knock one out)

The subdistrict chief Imafuckwit, who came to the scene during the protest, claimed to be powerless against the developer, but admitted that the ladies should be allowed to protest in this manner whenever they wished..

The saddest thing about the whole issue is that the construction companies public relations manager Lies Arus denied that the developer blocked access to the kampung.

"What we are just trying to protect the site. The area is being developed into a shopping center with a number of stores built near the village. We will hand the stores over to the owners inthe near future, so we need to protect them," she told The Jakarta Post.

To me that say’s that the fifty families are thieves and as soon as the shopping centre opens they will be in to blag all that they can.

The developer claimed that they had offered to relocate the locals to other places within the area , but no agreement had been made.

If someone had called me or suggested that I was a thieving bastard I doubt I would “agree” anything with them.

Better dash, I hear the girls are protesting today at 2pm and again at 4pm, cover charge is 30,000 rupiah…a bargain!

Spontaneous Happenings in Tangerang

Not known for its open mindedness, the Orang Tangerangs had a dilemma, give in to their deepest desires or go on the rampage.

Yup, you gessed right, rampage it was as the Public Order Agency ripped down over 500 illegal billboards promoting penis enlargement aids.

"We have to maintain cleanliness, beauty and order. This is also a way to express our commitment to educate on moral standards," Syanora, head of an unknown public order agency said, adding that no such advertisement deserved a place in public.
Most of the illegal billboards were presented in eye-catching colors and were installed strategically on the sides of streets, including on electricity poles and trees in clear view of cars and pedestrians.

(Tsk, Tsk, it is a well known fact that adverts should be hidden from view and should be very difficult for people never mind cars to read them. Unfortunately no-one has been able to get one of these adds and scan it, I would have liked to have posted that one )

One of the removed billboard read "Spontan Besarkan-Panjangkan Alat Vital" (spontaneously enlarge and prolong your vital organ). The advertisers displayed their contact numbers on the billboards.

(I love that, “spontaneously”, I have strange visions here, like “stand back, this is bigger than both of us” and men walking nonchalantly down the supermarket aisles, only to be hit with a sudden nether region enlargement)

Residents who witnessed the removal supported the officers' action. "We back up the administration's assertive stance because the billboards have spoiled the city's appearance," Nasrudin, a resident of Cikokol said while pumping away with the Chartham Method accessories he purchased that morning…
