This bloke didn't speak a word of English but the fashion is to have a shirt with English writing.

I snapped this one from the TV a while ago. Prime time at that.

I wonder if there is work to be had vetting the clothes, posters and so on before they transmit.

I saw a young girl wearing a tee shirt with "Miss PMS" plastered across the front and a guy with similar saying "Just call me fuckface" Are they produced as some pratical joke or something?

-You think that vehicle mirrors are only for other people to use
-You don't know the meaning of tunnel vision
-You think it's ok to write text messages while riding your motor bike
-You put dark tint on your car windows so you cant' see out
-You believe work is fine, as long as you don't have to do it

That is so degrading for Indonesian citizen... So where do you came from and say that its only in Indonesian people drive pick up trucks to buy rice, sugar and cooking oil? If you have a pick up car and have to do errands, do you have use a helicopter instead? or ride a bus? I drive a pick up truck and have to do shopping so what?-It just happens that maybe in the west you buy potatoes and bread... Do you actually know that to buy a rice here, you need to go to a shopping mall? And honestly most Indonesians drive SUV and not pick up trucks...
