Courage of Indosiar

Courage of Indosiar

From Republika

The otherwise good program aired by Indosiar, Berani Dong (Come on, have the guts), really caused great concern when it was aired on Aug. 13, 2003.

The bare chest of a male visitor at a certain mall was covered with glue and then feathers were stuck on his chest. A woman had to remove the feathers with her mouth. It was really an indecent scene to watch.

The program presenters -- a male and a female -- were also indecently dressed. They wore tight clothes that showed their midriffs. They embraced before the audience and with a satisfied laugh asked the women to remove with her mouth the feathers that got stuck around the man's mouth and chin. Obviously, Indosiar has shown in this program "shameless people who are ready to take on shameless jobs."

I agree with the Vice President when he called on TV stations to stop airing soft porn that leads to moral decadence. I hope Indosiar stops airing this particular program. Remember, "shame is part of our faith."
