Dear Dr.Biz.

My reason of using the word "invasion" was pointed to Skywalker who used that same word in connection of article above and his sentence "Now they are trying to make another invasion by sending their porn star".

I do agree with you that Japan is one of the few foreign countries which brought employment opportunities in a grand scale and money to Indonesia, without being ridiculed by a shaky infrastructure (e.g. the quality of supply roads, import taxes, power supply), religious barriers (see VJ82's comment of today) and fanatics who are looking for every opportunity or make up reasons to make themselves heard, corruption by local partners and local authorities as they are encountered along the way, acts of terror, foreigner hate as injected into the minds of children by certain "clerics" in some areas of Indonesia, the unfortunately relatively low educational standard (which again is a perfect breeding ground for groups like the "Islamic Defenders Front - FPI" and similar organizations),and so on and on.

And BTW - I do drive and American branded car with four letters,BUT I am considering to switch to a Japanese brand - not that I like their cars more but simply for economic reasons (a wide service network, easy accesible cheap spare parts, easy resale, etc.)

Skywalker:

And another thing, Mr. Sky, I do have religion. And in my religion, they don't teach us something like yours where it says "Religion on God it's worth to death". No offense... but your so called "Religion on God it's worth to death" thing, it's really unpleasant to read.

To Roland,

Japan has invaded Indonesia with their products? kasian Indonesia. Japan did it with many countries. why? cause their products are better. I bet you drive toyota and not Timor.

and profit does not go only to Japan. every foreign business operating here has to have a local partner , PT something something. So local people also cash a lot of profit. on what? on selling japanese goods. Japanese at least invented sth. spent money on research and dev. and indonesian businesses what they did? just got the licence, sell the product and cash profit.

so please dont give me this silly explanation

be more objective.............

regards from sane observer of the situation

Roland

Dear Skywalker. Japan has "invaded" the country long time ago (economically) - take in consideration companies as Toyota, which holds a multi billion Dollar market share here (around 40 % of all cars sold p.a.) plus an abundance of other Japanese consumer electronic brands.

About your comment "Indonesia - The country of religion and culture. When everything has it rules"

That country is called UTOPIA, but for sure NOT Indonesia (not yet unfortunately)!

Anyway, not to sway too far, criminalizing and putting a religious taboo on porn is the wrong approach - ignoring would be the correct one! Remember - Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest amount of prostitutes and child porn (understanding though the economic reasons for that, but not the reason of polygamy which is promoted and tolerated by Islam faith).

God bless you!

skywalker:

Ya. But u forgot another thing dude. The people of INDONESIA are selling her dvds here. And surprisingly, your people love it very much. And not to mention, since you know Miyabi, I suppose you're also one of those viewers at home. So where's your so called RELIGION and CULTURE.

Marmz

Maxima are an Indonesian company, based in Indonesia and staffed by, ehm... Indonesians. Are you angry no-one asked you personally if you support that invitation?

skywalker

Marmz:

ps : "maxima" whom was *i-n-v-i-t-e* the girl. Not people of Indonesia.

It's the vilification of human sexuality and women in general that is the issue here. Judaism, Christianity, Islam : 2000 dreadful years for females.

Marmz

Skywalker:

You truly are in the sky, because you and I ain't living in the same country."The country of religion and culture. When everything has it rules. " Show me a rule that you can't buy your way out of if you are rich enough. And in case you hadn't noticed, Miyabi wasn't invading Indonesia (you turn a blind eye to your ganyang Malaysia colleagues, though). She was *i-n-v-i-t-e-d*.

Simon P

Human sexuality is inherently pornographic its been argued. We, uniquely of all animals, have language and and thus fantasy and the ability to create symbolic orders. Remove the fantasy and nothing remains.

Looks like you're still in the clouds. You want to talk about Rani who allegedly seduced Antasari?

VJ82: Marmz:

for consider : Japan have invaded many countries resulting in the bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. an a lot of country be greatfull for that happens. one of theme indonesia. cause after that, they are peal for they independence. Now they are trying to make another invasion by sending they porn star. What a shame, even a girl have to spend they lives with a lot of man enjoying her (naked and etc) just to get food. what a happy "wealth" country and other man whom support (maybe you can suggest your wife, girlfriend, etc) . If like that, maybe you can enjoyed. but not here, in Indonesia. The country of religion and culture. When everything has it rules.

ps : don't mess with religion if you don't have, cause if you do. you mess with God for anything it's religion. and remember, religion on God it's worth to death.

VJ82

Marmz:

Agree. They are really nothing but trouble and keep giving shame on their country itself. Besides Miyabi, there's even a rally protesting on Julia Robert's shooting in Bali for the sake of money. Causing such shame for their country where actually they could have create better ties with the foreign countries. Such a short term minded people.

Marmz

Since when were learned members of any theology aware of the existence of a single porn star?

To be able to quote her actions suggest that they have paid closer 'private' attention to her movies than they would admit. My first knowledge of Miyabi came by finding a print-out of (a fully-clothed) Miyabi in the computer room of our school. I was rather struck with her prettiness and put the picture up on my things-to-do wall. My resolutely devout colleague informed me in passing that it was Miyabi, a half-Japanese porn star. I was being informed of a porn starlet by a person given to prayers. I thought this was weird, but given that it's now writ large, hypocrisy in this country appears to be just as prevalent as Korupsi. Should we not have an Anti Ridiculous Hypocrisy Commision?!

Valkyrie:

Well, i personally think that this is a one real stupid rally. Furthermore, what does it even have to do with them? None. And the funniest part will be.. i bet among them have a full collections of Miyabi's videos. So it's like.. "NO MIYABI!" While at home, they're banging with their hands while watching her dvds. Pathetics..

Instead of creating this stupid rally, why don't they just go make a rally regarding those muslims who had create disasters to the public and apologize on behalf of them. But guess what? I don't even think that will ever happen.

Nathan.W

This type of article is turning Jakarta Globe into a tabloid; filled with Junk News! What a turn-off!

Valkyrie

VJ82

I gave you facts! As for Miyabi? Well, it's an isssue I rather skip.

VJ82

Valkyrie:

Sorry dude. Just talking the facts.

These muslims DISCRIMINATED the harmless porn star which have totally NO SINGLE THREAT to anyone souls. Not only discriminate, but also big insults on her. Don't these muslims know after what they did, it'll be broadcasts throughout the whole world? How will she feel? All she's doing is just her job and these muslims don even have a single right to stop and threat her.

And what's with you teaching me history when what i'm talking about is the reality.

Owww.. my mouth is overloaded with....!!!

Jeanne Hachette

Thanks to the FPI for promoting the Japanese porn industry. We are back to Salman Rushdie good old times. A few fanatics are putting in the limelight some not too well known porn star and boring writers and suddenly they make big bucks because everybody wants to see their movie or read their books. If you don't like somebody, just ignore him instead of making free advertising.

spiky888

Hey, res ipsa I do agree with you, I was just saying that those who wasted their time rallying against her achieved nothing else but help promoting the movie and bring the spotlight to Miyabi.
