..Saya menerima pesan dari seseorang yang saya sendiri belum kenal, isi pesan tersebut cukup asoy;

"mengerikan sekali.. ini siapa sih?" (FYI nick saya di facebook adalah Chainsmokinbastrd).

"Lah, situ siapa?", jawab saya.

Madame asik ini mereply, "ya iyalah mengerikan nicknya itu lho.. iiih ada yg mensuggest ku utk meng-add-mu..kalo diriku-kan jelas namanya...halaaaah..hahaha"

...

inilah reply saya,

"mengerikan itu kalau nick saya "sundel bolong" atau "suster ngepot" atau "korban kerusuhan mei 1998" misalnya, kalau saya menggunakan nick Chainsmoking bastard itu justru untuk "menjelaskan" siapa saya; I'm a chainsmoker and I'm a bastard, simple as that. IMHO, mengirim message yg berisi kritisi terhadap nick seseorang di internet yang bahkan anda sendiri belum kenal, in common sense, cukup tidak ber etiket. Question yourself, do you need a etiquette lesson from a chainsmoking bastard? If not, keep your rude comments to yourself, thx. Have a nice day!"

pricks..

Saya makin gak ngerti pejabat dan politisi Indonesia, alih2 melakukan sesuatu yang berguna.. malah ngerjain yg kayak beginian..

Malaysia and Indonesia row over ownership of a Malay folk song
The Associated Press
Published: October 3, 2007

JAKARTA, Indonesia: A catchy song in a Malaysian overseas tourism promotion campaign has hit the wrong note with neighbor Indonesia.
The Indonesians have accused the Malaysians of stealing the song — "Rasa Sayang", or "Feeling of Love" — from them and are now considering suing.
Indonesian Tourism and Cultural Minister Jero Wacik said Wednesday he was investigating whether Indonesia could claim copyright and had scheduled a meeting with legislators, one of whom has called for legal action against Kuala Lumpur.
"Our two nations come from the same stock, so our songs are sung in Malaysia and the other way around, but for commercial use, ethically there should be a legal notice," Wacik told reporters.
"In this case there was none because they (the Malaysians) said they have sung it for ages."
The two countries share Islam as their main religion and have close cultural links with similar national languages. But they also have a history of testy relations that are regularly fanned by nationalist politicians in Indonesia, often for domestic political reasons.
Indonesian House of Representatives member Hakam Naja said Jakarta should consider action against Malaysia for using Rasa Sayang in a campaign to mark the country's 50th anniversary currently running on radio, television and online.
"We want a proportional response," said Hakam on Wednesday. "We ask the ministry to sue Malaysia, but only after checking the origin of the song. We should not let other countries misuse any of our national heritage."
However, Malaysian Tourism Minister Adnan Mansor was quoted by The Star and New Straits Times Wednesday saying that the song had its origin in both countries.
"Indonesia cannot claim that the song is theirs," Adnan said. "As far as I know, we have been singing the song for ages," he said.
Adnan could not be immediately reached for comment. A Malaysia tourism ministry spokesman, who declined to be named citing protocol, confirmed Adnan's comments but couldn't give further details.
Hakam has also accused Malaysia of claiming ownership of traditional Indonesian heritage such as batik art using dye fabrics and the shadow puppet theater, the report added.
Malaysian Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Rais Yatim has rejected Hakam's allegations and warned Indonesia that a law suit could hurt bilateral ties, the national Bernama news agency said.

Heran, gw gak pernah denger ada wakil rakyat yang bernama Hakam Naja sebelumnya.. tiba2 kok cari sensasi kayak gini ya? Mengungkit2 nasionalisme semu.. gak usah ngomongin lagu yang udah jarang dinyanyiin deh.. bahasa sendiri aja vocabnya nyablak.. Trus ini lagi pak Jero Wacik.. ngapain sih paak? Kayak orang Indonesia kekurangan lagu nasional aja.. ya wajar lah kalo ada makanan yang sama, lagu yang sama, motif batik yang mirip motif batik daerah di Indonesia (tehnik membatik sendiri saya rasa gak bisa di claim sebagai milik orang Indonesia sendiri bukan?), orang bangsa serumpun juga? Udah lah.. beresin aja urusan yang jelas2, dukung kebudayaan Indonesia seperti seharusnya, apa kek, bikin iklan turisme sendiri yang canggih, atau seniman indonesia dibiyayain tour ato apa lah yg produktif.. ini malah urusan copyright lagu yang gak jelas siapa yang bikin juga.. aneh dehhhh...kayak tante2 rebutan arisan basi..
