On 'raunchy' advertisement

I missed the advertisement in The Jakarta Post, Nov. 10, that Ahmed Afzal protested in Your Letters on Nov. 11, with the argument that it was raunchy.

Having now looked at the said advertisement, I totally agree with Ahmed's concern. More than just concern from readers, the advertisement has possibly violated Indonesian Consumer Protection Law No. 8 of 1999, which says that all advertisements published in Indonesia must not violate the Indonesian Advertising Code of Ethics.
