Unhappy with sexy pics

I wish to say that my family and I disagree with the growing promiscuity of this paper in running photos that expose the female form on the back page of your newspaper (The Jakarta Post, Aug. 6, page 20).

You advertised the September 2004 issue of FHM magazine with a provocative photo of Amanda Beard. We think it is inappropriate for this newspaper in this country at this time.

One of the reasons we have subscribed to the Post is that it has been suitable for all members of our family to read without prior need for family censorship. We would like to be able to continue to subscribe to your newspaper.
