No Mom, it's for the articles, it's really for the articles!

Playboy has arrived in Indonesia and the reception is not exactly the thing of a Hugh Hefner party at the mansion.

Officials in the heavily Muslim nation are not particularly enamored of Mr. Hefner's ode to sexuality and put some rather interesting restrictions on the magazine before it could be made available to the nation's news stands.

For one thing there is to be no nudity, which one assumes means that the much vaunted Playboy centrefold is not quite the thing of the rest of the world. Mostly thigh leg and the occassional cleavage pictures were featured in the Indonesian version of the magazine, Playboy's 17th international edition.

Some stores have refused to stock the magazine so as not to receive the wrath of those vehemently opposed to the publication, which has been described by some zealots as "moral terrorism".

To try and head off the outrage, the Indonesian version features much in the way of articles, much more in verbiage than in cleavage. Which makes for a situation that has enraged others in the country, claiming that they are selling the Playboy brand under false pretenses. One would be buyer said "we've been deceived there are no nude women."

While the magazine's publishers and government officials try and find a happy medium for all concerned, it could very well prove true the old saying that one buys the magazines for the articles.
