since we are talking about the building, i think it is an architectural masterpiece. Viewing from the front, it should look like a pair of wings.

@eagleday

'cleavage'... hmm or maybe a diaphragm, hindering the production of any meaningful, implementable laws

Its like a friggin circus. Spot the Ringmaster, or should that be clown.

Each day Indonesia's government becomes more and more ludicrous.

Is the police going to find the "culprits" (quite a sense of humor, maybe it was coming from the offices of the IT ministry...)?

In recent cases, as with the beaten up ICW fellow, strange bank accounts of their very own generals, lost(?) evidence against Chandra / Bibit and with Ariel's video up-loaders (even using advanced crime technology and "renowned" IT-specialists!) they are just not so really lucky these days it seems, or is not lack of luck but lack of professionalism?

Jakarta. In a major embarrassment for Indonesia’s House of Representatives, journalists and House staff members were exposed to hard-core pornographic images broadcast on an internal large-screen television normally used to provide information on the daily political schedule.

And despite the efforts of journalists to turn the images off, they were unable to do so until security finally succeeded about 15 minutes after the images were first broadcast.

The images are also understood to have been broadcast on similar big-screen televisions in the offices of the House leadership.

The extremely hard-core photographs and advertisements — including one for “young teens” — were taken from an adult Web site that is banned in neighboring Singapore and Malaysia.

The timing of the incident could not have come at a worse time for the government, with the Communications and Information Technology Ministry under minister Tifatul Sembiring hoping to pass a decree blocking Web sites it deems pornographic.

House Deputy Speaker Taufik Kurniawan has officially apologized for the incident and the House has launched an investigation.
