From around the world, and into your lap(desk)top, we bring you today’s “Mind your own business” moment:

Indonesia is considering a draft which would bring about new morality laws, the result of which would bring them in line with most Muslim nations. Such changes would include:

“…offenders caught kissing in the open could be jailed for up to 10 years and fined as much as 300 million rupiah ($33,000)”

and

“Unmarried couples living together could be penalised with up to two years in jail and a maximum fine of 30 million rupiah.”

Not all that surprising if you take other Muslim nations into consideration, but of course shocking to many of us here in the states.

I love a soft pair of juicy lips, but even 1 month in a pound-me-in-the-ass institution would be too much for tasting that sweet delight. I do find it amusing that kissing harbors more of a penalty than shacking up. I guess those in charge know that those who are “living together in sin” have probably suffered enough solely from the co-habitation.

Still tho, my main source of amusement comes from the fine print:

Justice ministry official Abdul Gani Abdullah said the law would only apply if others complained.

“Kissing in public is a crime if the people around are not happy and lodge a complaint. But if they think it’s all right, then no action will be taken,” he told the AFP news agency.

“The same goes with cohabitation. If neighbours think the presence of an unmarried couple living together is a nuisance, they can report to police.”

So… “indecency” is tolerated, unless someone complains…
Is Indonesia turning into the FCC?!?
(I wondered what Michael Powell was doing these days…)

Here’s hoping people mind their own…
