Yeah it's just stupid. It's not that I'm personally defending the PB but I would say the same for any company that tries to pioneer trough such strict government.
Actually I could just beat up one of those muslims who attacked the PB and report him for destroying their office lol.

Seharusnya sebagai warga negara aku dan siapapun punya kebebasan tuk menerbitkan ato membaca materi apa pun. Kalo ada alasan ketakutan moral bangsa bakal rusak thats a bull. Jangan slalu nyalahin factor external tuk kerusakan diri sendiri. Kalo pribadi kamu kuat dan clear, ethicaly morally psychologicaly religiously intellectualy, mo ada Britney Spears ngangkangin kaki depan kamu bukain meqinya dengan penuh ajakan kamu gak akan langsung dive in kan?

Playboy dan Dunia yang Tercengang
Sehari setelah Playboy Indonesia terbit, Sabtu (8/4) lalu Hugh Hefner, pendiri 'kerajaan' Playboy itu, berulang tahun ke-80. Bertelekan pada sofa berlapis bulu tebal, dikelilingi ratusan model yang hanya berbalut bikini, sementara sampanye dan kaviar tak henti mengaliri tenggorokan, Hefner terlihat sangat bungah di mansion bergaya Gothiknya di Los Angeles, Amerika Serikat.
Tentu bukan karena seorang gadis pirang membantunya memotong kue dan menyuapinya sepotong demi sepotong. Prosesi itu pasti terlalu lumrah, bahkan membosankan, di usianya yang menginjak delapan dekade. Ada hal lain yang seharusnya membuat kakek berpiyama sutra itu bergirang hati.
Benar atau tidak, yang pasti pada ulang tahun ke-80 itu Hefner memperoleh 'kado istimewa', persembahan Erwin Arnada dan kawan-kawan dari Indonesia. Hefner sangat layak bergembira. Revolusi seks yang dipeloporinya sejak 1950-an, berhasil menaklukkan Indonesia, salah satu negeri Muslim terbesar di dunia.
Bukankah kini Hefner, dalam usia yang secara logika telah di rembang petang, bisa menyatakan diri sukses membuat gaya hidupnya menjadi universal, merambah hingga pojok-pojok dunia yang tadinya dianggap paling musykil sekalipun? Siapa akan membantah, keberhasilan Playboy terbit di Indonesia -- meski dengan kemasan tak terlalu vulgar -- merupakan sukses besar bagi imperium bisnis Playboy.
''Ini merupakan momen spesial, karena ultah ke-80,'' kata Hefner dalam sebuah wawancara televisi. Meski tak menyebut Indonesia, Hefner menambahkan, ''Saya tidak pernah merasa sebaik ini.''
Wajar saja, karena mungkin 'Mr Playboy' merasa menemukan tempat untuk memulai eksperimen baru. Sebagaimana dikutip AFP yang meliput pesta semalam suntuk itu, Hefner memang telah menggerakkan perubahan baru di masyarakat Barat. Betapa permisivitas, keserbabolehan, telah dimulai ketika pemuda Hugh Hefner merancang majalah pertamanya itu pada 1953. Setelah itu, revolusi seks pun bergulir tak tertahan, bahkan tidak terduga oleh Hefner.
''Ada tiga penemuan besar dalam sejarah kemanusiaan,'' kata Hefner, suatu kali. ''Penemuan api, roda, dan ...Playboy,'' katanya, setengah berkelakar.
Di lain pihak, wajar pula jika dunia Islam -- bukan hanya Indonesia -- tercengang dengan lolosnya Playboy di negeri ini. ''Negara berpenduduk Muslim terbesar di dunia mulai mengedarkan Playboy, sebuah majalah porno asal Amerika,'' bunyi teras berita harian Al Rayah, Qatar, pekan lalu. Judul yang dipampangnya pun bombastis, ''Negeri Muslim Terbesar di Dunia Terbitkan Majalah Playboy.''
Sementara, situs harian Arab Saudi, Al Watan, menulis dengan judul lain, ''Banyak Protes Atas Penerbitan Playboy Indonesia''. Tetapi, intinya tetap bernada cemas. Lihat saja mereka menulis, ''Dikhawatirkan majalah porno itu akan berkembang sebagaimana di negara asalnya, meski pada edisi pertama Indonesia itu tidak terdapat gambar telanjang,'' tulis Al Watan. Kekhawatiran itu juga tecermin di harian Jordania, Al Ra'yu. ''Edisi pertama itu memang tidak memuat gambar porno. Tetapi, semua tahu itu majalah porno. Langkah sengaja pada edisi pertama itu tampak merupakan kecerdikan penerbitnya,'' tulis Al Ra'yu.
Kekhawatiran itu bahkan telah merebak ke negara tetangga, Malaysia. Hanya sehari setelah terbitnya Playboy di Indonesia, pihak Bea dan Cukai negara itu memberlakukan pemeriksaan ketat terhadap para pendatang dari Indonesia. Tidak hanya orang Indonesia, tetapi terutama warga Malaysia yang baru pulang dari Indonesia.
''Kita tidak akan menoleransi siapa pun yang mencoba menyelundupkan Playboy Indonesia ke sini,'' kata Dirjen Bea Cukai Malaysia (KDRM), Datuk Abdul Rahman Abdul Hamid. Abdul Rahman berjanji, pihaknya akan menerapkan hukuman berat, berupa denda maksimum 20 ribu ringgit, dan atau hukuman maksimal tiga tahun untuk para penyelundup Playboy atau barang berbau pornografi lainnya.
Ia juga menyatakan, pemeriksaan ketat itu diberlakukan pada setiap pintu masuk menuju Malaysia, antara lain, Bandara Internasional Kuala Lumpur, Bandara Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang, serta Bandara Sutan Ismail di Senai, Johor. Bagi pendatang lewat laut, mereka akan diperiksa di Pelabuhan Malaka, Pelabuhan Stulang, Johor, serta semua pelabuhan yang ada.
Layakkah kekhawatiran itu? Di luar pemeriksaan ketat, praktisi media senior, Farid Gaban, menyepakati hal tersebut. Farid, yang gigih mempertahankan sikapnya bahwa Playboy tidak hanya sebuah majalah, melainkan gaya hidup, juga mempertanyakan keistimewaan yang diperoleh Playboy Indonesia untuk 'tampil lain'.
''Membeli franchise sebuah majalah asing, setahu saya, tidak semata membeli brand tapi juga serangkaian standard operating procedure (SOP): tata cara beroperasi secara bisnis, dalam pemasaran, penyajian, bahkan dalam keseluruhan corporate culture,'' tulis Farid dalam sebuah polemik di dunia maya. Hal itu, menurutnya, berlaku sebagaimana McDonald's, Starbucks, atau National Geographics Indonesia.
Jadi, menurut Farid, bagaimana Playboy Indonesia bisa demikian istimewa untuk keluar dari corporate culture Playboy, seperti tecermin dari pesta ulang tahun Hefner tadi?
Atau, benar sebagaimana kekhawatiran banyak pihak. Playboy versi Indonesia saat ini sedang berselimut, sebelum membuka jati diri pada saatnya kelak.

With all due respect, there are ways to express your disagreement over the publication of such a magazine without having to resort to violence methods. "The ink of the scholar is more precious than the blood of the martyr"
If we are able to educated our mother/aunty/sister/niece/father I seriously doubt they would even think about posing for Playboy no matter how "gorgeous or hot" society believes them to be.
Waging a "physical" war against the establishments that produce such media will not stop another one from emerging. The idea behind the emergence of such establishments, such publications, intent to pose in such magazines will always be there.
The most effective way to "kill" it is through education not violence.
I guess that group needs to be re-educated

hmm.........where can I find a copy of this Indonesian Edition of Playboy, you know...so I can hurl stones at it. j/k
It's a simple business law, supply and demand. The government approved it,maybe because there was a demand for it, the magazine sold out because there was demand for it. Perhaps indonesians should look at themselves and the morals of their countrymen rather than blame playboy! The magazine is a hypocrisy in itself, playboy without naked girls, what's the point, they might as well buy an underwear catalouge, it's a joke. The whole Islamic thing is not to look at women as sex object and not to portray them in that manner! Evidently the playboy magazine doesn't do that, whats the difference, you just don't get your value for money that's all.

Islam is our choice, not everyone's. But obeying state laws are the decision of everyone living there.Now if some people don't like the state's law, they can leave the state. But breaking it is not a viable option to following it.Like the Prophet(PBUH) said be Loyal to the state your living in.
EDIT:another thing, if someone is a good muslim he'll have atleast a lil bit of self control and won't go and buy them, just the same as people have the internet but dont look at porn.

I disagree that PB is published in Indo. The presence of hide-hit-run xxxVCDs-DVDs and another porn-magazines cannot justify it. It is right to say that police has to stop those things but do not create the new one only because the police failed to stop those hide-hit-run porn mags and movies. I mean the failure of police to stop the hide-hit-rum porn mags and movies cannot justify the presence of PB.
My reasons are:
1. it brings more negative effects than positive one in the country (Indoensia) who has...
2. The imaturity of the people.
3. The low of law-enforcements.

Its up to all people in Indonesia to decide how far their freedoms should extend.I know that some Muslims within the Ummah are persecuted in indonesia,bc the so called "mainstream muslims" don't consider them muslims,compared to that the whole Playboy bla bla bla is a joke,but thats another story.Japan has some anti-porn laws (which is why "comic book porn" is so popular there, it gets around the law), alot of countries do...Of course people who want porn will just log on and get it off the net or buy it on the black market. The consumption of pornogaphy is global now and there is no way to stop it. But even if they decide to not make porn illegal...no big deal for me, I am not indonesian (and I dont watch porn) and even if i was it wouldnt be an issue. As long as nobody is being exploited (as in, forced to do something against their will in other words forced by a "pimp"). And I dont think playboy magazine is going to be running slave houses...

Indonesian Playboy Halts Operations After Protests
JAKARTA, April 20, 2006 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – Indonesia's local edition of Playboy magazine announced on Thursday, April 20, suspending operations after massive and sometimes violent protests in the world's most populous Muslim nation over its publication.
"For the time being, we are prioritizing security. We have vacated our office and we have halted our operational activities," said the magazine's chief editor Erwin Arnada, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP).
He said 26 corporate advertisers involved in the first issue said they would not continue placing ads because of the protests.
Last week, Jakarta police chief Firman Gani urged authorities to interfere to putt off Playboy's second issue if publishers refuse to voluntarily do so.
The first edition of the watered-down Playboy Indonesia hit news stands on Friday, April 7, sparking violent protests nationwide.
Angry Indonesians have vandalized the magazine's Jakarta office and broke windows of the building.
Though vocalizing opposition to the debut of the magazine, the government has admitted that its legal hands remain tied.
Founded in 1953, Playboy has about 20 local editions around the world that cater to local taste rather than simply exporting and translating its US content.
Questioned
Arnada was questioned by police to determine whether or not the magazine's first edition had violated laws and regulations.
He said that he had fielded 34 questions, mostly about technical aspects of publishing and printing the magazine.
Arnada said he was summoned in response to charges by Muslim groups that the magazine violated articles of the criminal code, which carry a maximum penalty of 16 months in jail.
The editor went to the police headquarters accompanied by lawyers and about 10 other members of the magazine's editorial department.
Police would also interview expert witnesses in the fields of crime, language and culture together with scholars, spokesman of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police Chief Commissioner, I Ketut Untung Yoga Ana, said.
Some media distributors and newsstands were afraid to carry copies of the magazine.
The Indonesian Mujahidin Council (MMI) has filed a complaint with the police accusing the magazine of promoting obscenity.
Indonesian Muslim scholars had warned that the publication of Playboy would corrupt a culture already inundated by Western influences.
Porn discs are readily, if discreetly, available across the capital Jakarta for as little as 6,000 rupiah ($60 cents).
In recent years, lifestyle magazines have flooded Indonesia's markets, including those targeting a male audience.
Many are franchises of foreign publications in the United States, Europe, Australia and more liberal Asian nations.
FHM Indonesia, Sexy, Marta and Popular are but some of the more daring men's magazines on sale along Jakarta's busy streets.

Differences:
PB magazine ain't porn.
Brothels ain't for everyone to watch.
PB is just a magazine.
Brothel is a whole building that has an influence to the whole neighbourhood and surroundings.
So no it ain't a good comparison.
PB is just a magazine, if you don't like it, don't buy it.
It can be easily left alone.
Brothels on the other hand is a damn building.

honestly, they SHOULD ban playboy. indonesia is muslim majority & its rather progressive & getting ahead in technology compared to other SEA countries.
they've done this by not letting their women become cheap sellouts to the western man's fantasy. when i think of the ruined images of the filipino woman & the american military, japayukis, ect., i cringe. you cannot be respected as a woman if u treat urself like exposed meat.
decency needs to prevail or else we'd all be asian versions of britney spears.

What has their technology got to do with women becoming cheap sellouts?
It's happening in Indonesia too, it happens in every country...
And why do they protest? I think that they protest cause it has a (in)famous name.
There are alot bigger problems that they could protest about. Maybe they're just searchin media attention?
Example that I found from someone else who lives in Indonesia:

"This only fuels people all over the world to think that we, muslims are a bunch of crazy retarded people. Please, do not put that stereotype to all muslims. Those who are indeed crazy and retarded are not all of us.
I honestly think that people are overreacting. Why the huge row all over Playboy when there are much much steamier smuttier media in Indonesia that are destroying the minds of youth, or the ones that do bad deed but in less obvious way such as its sinetrons, which are so so painful, mind you, because they are both so fu-king bad as well as immoral. "
"Keeping on the subject of the “young generation”, child prostitution and trafficking exist in Indonesia, again thanks to cooperation from police and immigration officials on the payroll of sex industry syndicates.
And while it appears Playboy Indonesia will be rather tame, no one is raising a hue and cry over existing men’s interest magazines featuring photos of scantily clad women. Meanwhile, a growing number of the country’s domestic television networks are airing late night programs that show lingerie models on fashion shoots.
Then there are the smutty tabloids, such as Jakarta’s Pos Kota and Lampu Merah, which are filled with graphic stories about rape, prostitution, domestic violence and sexual abuse. The tabloids also contain luridly illustrated phone sex advertisements, as well as columns of classified advertisements for the services of prostitutes. The latter are thinly disguised as massage or health services, but the wording makes it abundantly clear what’s on offer. Take this recent example from Pos Kota (phone number partly omitted):
PENGOBATAN CEWEK2 CANTIK SEXY SERVICE OK MODEL MHSISWI (CHINES & PRIBUMI) LIVE SHOW/ LESBI/PASUTRI 081.8080XXXXX. [Medical Treatment from Beautiful Girls, Sexy Service Ok, Female Students and Models (Chinese & Indigenous) Live Show/Lesbian/Couples 081.8080XXXXX "
@Najjiah no need to ban it,Game Over! Playboy announced today,that no more magazines will be published.

Differences:
PB magazine ain't porn.
Brothels ain't for everyone to watch.
PB is just a magazine.
Brothel is a whole building that has an influence to the whole neighbourhood and surroundings.
So no it ain't a good comparison.
PB is just a magazine, if you don't like it, don't buy it.
It can be easily left alone.
Brothels on the other hand is a damn building.
porn is porn, whether it's soft porn or hard core.
playboy isn't for everyone to watch
brothels are just buildings, if u don't like it, don't go in there.
it is easier to leave alone

So you think getting actual sex is easier to let alone than just buying a magazine for those people?
And if you don't like the magazine don't buy it. Easy as that.
If you do like it then buy it. Easy as that.
