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."
