Indonesian Idiocy
March 19th, 2008
I don’t usually read detik.com. To me, it’s just another Indonesian advertisement-filled not-standards-compliant news website. In short, an ugly-designed website. Period. But for some reason today, I thought I pay a visit and see what’s on its latest news.
Then I found this. And it really tickles me to drop in a comment. For you who don’t read Indonesian, it’s basically a news about a guy got caught because he accidentally killed a pedestrian and ran away. The thing is, he’s driving a car in the highway, and the pedestrian is a guy who’s TRYING TO CROSS the goddamned highway.
So who do you think is left to blame? The highway crosser, or the driver? I’d say the crosser. But this is Indonesia, where the big one’s always get the blame. A guy crossing the street without using the zebra cross and got hit by car, the car is wrong. A motorcycle hit its sorry ass to a car, the car is still wrong. Is our country dumb? Oh, be sure that it IS.
