I'm glad to see them protesting this but they should promote boycotting Playboy, not promote censorship.

[msnimje]

Replace the Playboy with a magazine full of naked Pigs.

"Any magazine we launch in Indonesia would be focused on many of the other things Playboy is well known for"

Yes, those many, many other things...

You sound like a Rat lawyer. If they want to stop porn, more power to them.

Any magazine we launch in Indonesia would be focused on many of the other things Playboy is well known for: high-quality editorial, including interviews and feature stories written by renowned local writers and journalists

Oh yeah, like my mom ever believed that BS.

Good to see the Islamonazis still on the wrong side of every issue (the funda-MENTAL-ist, taliban side that craves theocratic rule).

[TheBigB]

To be honest, I read an interview with Stephen Hawking in Playboy that was one of the best I've ever read.

[gondramB]

"The bill outlaws husbands and wives kissing in public, Papuans wearing traditional dress (a penis gourd and nothing else),"

Yes, well, let's hope that last one doesn't spread.

"To be honest, I read an interview with Stephen Hawking in Playboy that was one of the best I've ever read."

And I read a Playboy interview that convinced me that Jimmy Carter wasn't the right man for the Presidency.

[TheBigB]

I didn't see that one. But I heard about it. ;o)

HUH? You're the one wanting to use the deadly force of government to push your ways on other people. Calling for a consumer boycott is the non-government-intervention-way (aka conservative) to handle a situation.

Was that before or after Dr Hawking became MC Hawking with a successful rap career( http://www.mchawking.com/) ? ? ?

[TheBigB]

The Hawk-Man knows how to party hearty!

[canuck_conservative]

And what world-shaking thinker is Playboy interviewing this month?


Al Franken.






(no thanks)

[TheBigB]

Yeah.

I skipped that one. : )

I also remember the one El Rushbo did a few years back.

You are not talking about a western country. They don`t have a bizillion lawyers supporting what we know is wrong. But, maybe you think that porn advances a society

[SteveMcKing]

I favor Muslim culture over Playboy culture any day. But then I prefer Hustler over both.

(And I mean all that.)

[xrp]

No, I'm saying that I don't support the use of government to press my views on others.

Just so you know, porn is what fueled a lot of the Internet growth, so you can pretty much thank the porn/nudity addicts of the 1990s for what we have today. So if porn doesn't advance society, then obviously the Internet hasn't advanced society.

[bybybill]

HUH? If bank robbers use cars, then obviously the car doesn`t advance society.
Makes no sense
