Pornographic posters

From Neraca

We can see pornographic posters in almost all cinemas in Jakarta, along with the exciting titles of the films like Kenikmatan Taboo" (Tabooed Pleasure), Gairah Malam (Night Passion), etc. It is feared that such posters will have a negative impact on school children who pass by the cinemas every day on their way to school, which is quite contrary to the moral teachings taught within the family.

The posters are placed unchallenged. The authorities do not seem to pay any heed to their existence. What is the BSF (Film Censorship Agency) doing? In fact, they can work effectively exercising their full rights. In this case the religious leaders can play a crucial role to hold dialogs with the government to ban pornographic posters. That will help save the younger generation from moral degradation.
