What

Special Dialog on MetroTV. 

I've been asked to gather a list of people from Twitter who would like to be in the audience at their studio. The show will feature discussions about the bombing at Kuningan last Friday morning and the IndonesiaUnite movement that began on Twitter which has practically taken over Twitter for the past five days, as a response to the incident.

It will also have performances by Slank, Efek Rumah Kaca, Pandji Pragiwaksono, Oppie Andaresta, and Jose Rizal Manua.

IndonesiaUnite is a movement that aims to show the world that Indonesians are not afraid of terrorists and instead of hiding, will drive to protect, preserve, and advance our way of life. It is also being used to tell the world that there is more to Indonesia than they may know.

It is not only a movement on the internet, it is being pushed offline also to show the rest of the country that there are people who care about driving the nation forward, that there are ways to make this country a better place, and that a nation is nothing without its people.

Today is the last day of the campaign for all political parties ahead of a three day quiet period before the legislative election on April 9.
 
On this last day, former General Wiranto's Hanura party will flock to Senayan just like former President Megawati's's PDIP yesterday and all other big political machines this past week. So I'm going to avoid Senayan as much as possible and advise you to do the same if you don't want to be caught in a traffic jam. Yesterday, the slow lanes of Sudirman literally became a parking lot as they were used to park the cars of people attending the event. All traffic was directed to the center lanes.
 
Now, I saw this banner ad by Hanura near Belleza arcade in Permata Hijau. It says, "Beware, do not lie to the people anymore!!"
 
Strangely enough, they designed the ad so that it resembles a cigarette pack, just look at the bottom. I've seen so many more ridiculous political banners but this one is intriguing. Is it a warning to the current government as the text on top implies or is it a warning to the people that, "Smoking can cause cancer, heart attack, impotency and pregnancy problems"?
 
A friend suggested someone should put a mirror in front of that ad. Hmmm… I wonder why? ;)
