As one of #IndonesiaUnite‘s supporter, I think I should be excited and supportive when there are new movement adopters that share the same passion with us in Twitter. I think all of us equally contributed to the movement with various ways. But, seriously, what is #IndonesiaUnited? Is it some kind of a football club? Is this something new that we need to know? LOL.

Taken from here.

I don’t know about you, but I despise sinetrons. To me it’s one of the dumbest things that Indonesians have done. In fact, if I was elected to ever lead the country (which is most unlikely, and like I wanted it anyway), sinetron is probably one thing that I will ban from appearing in this God forsaken country.

I just had lunch earlier on a Padang restaurant just at the corner of my neighborhood. The restaurant has a TV set, turned on, and tuned in to SCTV, one of the country’s leading sinetron broadcaster (Hell, in fact, all of them are probably are). And just right there, it’s showing a God awful sinetron called “You’ve Got Ma’il”. Yes, you read it right, “You’ve Got Ma’il”. It turned out to be a cheesy (and obviously alay) love story about a guy named Ma’il (And no, he wasn’t played by Tom Hanks). Can you seriously believe this? They ripped a whole movie title out of no reason, they “creatively” name the character just to fit that ripped off title, and people throughout the country seemed to like it! Now, instead of broadcasting actually good TV shows with quality and a sense of educating the masses a bit, no, they chose to broadcast this dumbfoundingly moronic sinetron.

And this is not all, I’ve heard that there is a children’s sinetron that ripped off Ben 10. So if it’s not ripped off, it’s probably hideous that your IQ could drop down every hour you watch the damned shows.

So given the question “Where would Indonesia be in the next five to ten years?”, I would say “NOWHERE”. I don’t think I’m being pessimistic here. It’s the fact that I’m sure deep down inside, everyone agrees.
