Bali with Playboy = Porno Island?

Playboy Indonesia with their new office in Bali ( Jakarta's office been attacked last time ), also set up their major market in Bali. But this also creates new pro and contra. Some of Hindu's spiritual leader reject Playboy. I Dewa Ngurah Swastha said that he and other friends ( spiritual leaders and educators ) hope that Bali government will close Playboy's office in Denpasar and also banned that magazine.

Playboy Indonesia wont make any benefit for Balinese and against their culture. " Playboy is against our belief, Tri Hita Karana ", said Swastha. " With Playboy appearance in Bali, people will think Bali as pornographic island, ironically, we're not trying to remove pornographic island's stigma from Bali and hope we can support the anti pornographic and pornoaction rule "

In other way, Prof Ni Luh Ketut Suryani said that , people dont make negative reaction against Playboy before seeing its content. And as long as Playboy get permission from government, its ok for Playboy Indonesia to markets its magazine here.
