QCrimes: Indonesian Politician Creates Anti-Porn Law, Gets Caught Viewing Porn At Work

Smart QueerClickers already know that 20% of all men look at porn at work. Well add disgraced Indonesian politician Arifinto to that list. Arifinto (who goes by one name much like Tiffany, Madonna, and Prince) resigned from parliament immediately after a photograph snapped images of him viewing sexually explicit videos on his computer during a parliamentary debate.
At first, Arifinto had said he accidentally stumbled upon the porn by clicking an email link. Nice try, Madonna. But that excuse didn’t keep us from being fired from our old job and it certainly didn’t work for him, especially since the photographer saw Arifinto pull up the porn on his computer and salivate over the naughty pictures for a while before continuing to nod vacantly at the debate going on before him.*
But unlike us, Arifinto didn’t get fired, he fessed up about his little white lie and then resigned from his post. You see, he was member of the staunchly Islamic Prosperous Justice Party and helped pass a very strict anti-pornography law upon which he may now be hoisted. So just how severe is this law, you ask?

The law calls for prison terms of up to 15 years and fines for everything from kissing in public and exposure of a woman’s “sensual” body parts to displaying “erotic” artworks. Broadcasting, possessing and storing pornographic material also is prohibited.

The anti-porn law was used in January to sentence Nazril “Ariel” Irham, lead singer of the country’s most popular band Peterpan, to 40 months in jail after two home-made sex tapes found their way to the internet

The editor in chief of Playboy Indonesia was last year sentenced to two years behind bars.

Ouch! That’s a pretty stiff penalty for just for getting pretty stiff. Why is it that every person who gets all outraged about porn and sexual immorality usually end up using it themselves? Do you hear us, Utah?
*While the photographer did see him, we made up the part about salivating and nodding. It probably happened though, right?
