The Fake Foto is what I mean. There’s a mighty buzz about in the international blogosphere about faked photos from Beirut and I believe the Jakarta Post has published yet another one, albeit from Baghdad.

As for Roy, I quite like clowns.

The one about the reuters photo or the one about our boy Roy. If the latter then he’s currently the favourite but don’t bet your money on it. This place has a habit of shoring up real bloopers. This is getting fun.

Have you got the resources to check my post today? Please?
If it is as I think, then you’ve already got a candidate for Ujang to judge.

I’ll even throw in another bottle of wine, or grape juice, whichever is applicable.

Jakartass: Maybe a McCarthy Award for Roy?

How about a second award, a lesser award, given to the most gullible press member/publication?

This is part of what I said ~ and I think you’ll appreciate that I don’t like spin doctors. (But I do drink alcohol if that was a serious offer.)

I’d suggest an SBY blog as this would allow ‘complaints and input’. I would, but there’s a budget of just under Rp.100 million (around US$10,100), excluding costs for monthly maintenance. This seems excessive for a blog, even one as sophisticated as Jakartass.

With that budget, which works out at about a dollar for each of us in Indonesia with internet access, they can splash out on flash graphics, loads of popup banners, lurid graphics and the national anthem, Indonesia Raya, tinkling in the background.

It’s worth noting that it was Roy Suryo who reported Yogya blogger Herman Saksono to the police for publishing the picture of Bambang S. canoodling SBY.

Amien Rais should count. does that guy even know what he talks about? on anything at all?
