Hot and bothered by porn

Hot and bothered by porn

From Republika

Public anxiety has climaxed as pornographic video compact
disks (VCDs) are widely circulated in the city. The police should
seek ways to deal with this problem after the recent drive
against steamy pictures.

As reported in the media, it seems difficult to eradicate smut
because as soon as one place is raided, another opens. Security
officers are also apparently halfhearted in their attempts to
stop smut.

Under a flyover in Cawang-UKI, East Jakarta, for instance,
pornographic VCDs are openly displayed and sold starting from the
afternoon, attracting the attention of youths and students. This
will create morality problems marked by uncontrolled behavior and
other deviations.

As an educator I feel disturbed by this fact. It is hard to
imagine what will become of our younger generation unless the
circulation of pornography and drugs is stopped.
