Truly disgusting ad on 'ANteve'

Truly disgusting ad on 'ANteve' From Republika

MTV 100 percent Indonesia is one of the programs on ANteve featuring the latest music video clips of the country's singers. In its one-hour program aired on Oct. 31, 2001, ANteve deliberately inserted a porn clip, in which singer Jennifer Lopez of the USA, scantily clad with her back to the camera, was seen throwing her bra to it.

I am sure that ANteve did it intentionally to arouse viewers as, just before the clip was shown, VJ Shanti was enthusiastically elaborating on the making of the latest clip of Titi Dj, in collaboration with Indonesian artist divas such as Melly G, Ruth Sahanaya, Reza, Rita Effendi and others.

Unfortunately her explanation could have led viewers into believing that the naked artist was one of the divas because she gave no further explanation about the porn clip inserted as an ad. Or was it a deliberate act by ANteve to harm viewers' sensibilities and at the same time abuse the divas?

ANteve should not have called the program 100 percent Indonesia, if it is still eager to insert "impurities" into the program, because to go on a porn spree is not our tradition. Hopefully ANteve can be more selective in the future.
