Naruto Supports Pornography Ban

Naruto's name is taken in vain by an Indonesian political party.

Remember back during the peak of the Haruhi craze, there was that picture of a little girl holding up a poster that had Her Haruhi-ness on it and something about “Haruhi says to stop killing kids”? Well, this is a little bit like that.


Except that this time, the character chosen is a little bit more mainstream-- Naruto himself –and the subject at hand is a bit less extreme. Apparently this poster supports Indonesia's Properous Justice Party, a very traditional Islamic party that wants, among other things, to ban pornography entirely-- a ban that apparently did sort of pass last year.


Now, if I were going to pick an anime character to use for political purposes and try to win the otaku vote, I'd pick Kamina...or maybe a Kamina-Yoko combo. Who would you pick?

Chuck Norris (first turn him into an anime character).

I just find it amusing that of all the characters they picked to represent their push against Pornography, they picked Naruto. Harem (or, for that matter, Sexy) No Jutsu anyone?

Eh... I see this going nowhere. I mean they are trying to ban porn. And that just trying to ban coffee, they can do it but people are still going to want their coffee.

this article is scary in that it's another example of islamic extremists forcing their way into governments around the world. now they're using popular children's images to try and spread their views. ugh it never ends.
