You’re idiot or what, lady?

Posted by Willy Permana in Internet on March 5, 2010

Spammers just don’t know when to quit. This particular girl has sent me several spams, and this morning I got another one from her in my Gmail inbox.

Just using common sense would let her know that the promotion is fake. Few reasons:

  1. I don’t think Apple would use spam for their promotion
  2. We got Apple branch office here at Indonesia?
  3. Apple officer use other company’s e-mail for official promotion?

But I guess greed make her IQ dropped by few points, eh?

Below is the spam

RPM Konten: Imposing analog rules on digital era

Posted by Willy Permana in Internet on February 18, 2010

Internet user on Indonesia got a surprising Valentine gift from Minister of Communication & Information, Mr Tifatul Sembiring, in form of Rancangan Peraturan Menteri Konten & Multimedia. Plenty of people voiced rejection for this draft, as it’s somewhat reflecting the Orba spirit (censorship, privacy breaching). Even companies and organizations like Kaskus, Aliansi Jurnalis Indonesia and Kamar Dagang dan Industri (to name a few) reject this draft.

Just when people already embracing People 2.0 culture, Mr Tifatul still think in Gov 1.0 paradigm. Well, Mr Tifatul, you might want to reflect to this statement

Those folks who try to impose analog rules on digital content will find themselves on the wrong side of the tidal wave
