Jail threat for Indonesian kissing couples
Looks like Indonesia wontâ be challengeing Italy and Brazil for their crowns for least restrictive cultural definition of acceptable PDA anytime soon.Indonesian couples who are caught kissing passionately in public could face jail under proposed legislation. Define passionately, please.
Is there a three strikes rule? "I think there must be some restrictions on such acts because it is against our traditions of decency," said Aisyah Hamid Baidlowi, who heads the parliamentary committee drafting the bill. The bill is awaiting government approval and also bans public nudity, flashing, erotic dancing and sex parties. Are hickies OK? Proposed jail terms range from three to 10 years. Indonesia has the worldâs biggest population of Muslims, but most follow a fairly tolerant interpretation of the religion. Actually 10 years for public nudity is pretty moderate for Ummah. I hope they donât include ankle nudity in the statute. Maybe all foriegn visitors should go with the Julius Erving tube socks to the kneecap option. Posted by: Super Hose 2004-03-08 |
