Playboy Debuts In Indonesia -- With No Nudity
Council Of Clerics Calls Magazine 'Icon Of Pornography'

JAKARTA, Indonesia -- It's not the same Playboy you may be used to seeing.

For one thing -- no naked women.

In fact, the photos of female models appearing in the edition of Playboy that goes on sale Friday in Indonesia aren't any more risque than those appearing in other magazines already being sold there.

That may not satisfy clerics in the mostly-Muslim country, who wanted the magazine kept out of Indonesia entirely.

A member of the country's Council of Clerics describes Playboy as "an icon of pornography."

Playboy is also planning to launch a version of the magazine without nude photos soon in India.

I doubt this will lead to any "sticky" situations.

because their way of life and belief system is diffrent from yours they are nut jobs?

Playboy should just stay out.. whats the point of them doing this? I dont care personally, but it seems they are doing it just to prove they can, imo..

ummmm... they are trying to block persons from looking at beautiful naked women.. is this really a question for debate? :p

seems to me both groups are equally guilty of such a charge. playboy isn't doing anything that isn't being done there by other mags in said country. seems to me they are being treated unfairly because they are a western country...

I'm with you. Women have little to no rights in that part of the world.
