Drilling in Indonesia

Here's a little Friday entertainment for you. Inul Daratista is an Indonesian dangdut singer--probably the most popular one in the country. Inul (actually not her real name; Inul Daratista translates as "the girl with the breasts", much as Scarlett Johnasson means the same thing in the U.S.) has come under flak recently for her style of dancing. The Indonesian media calls it "drilling", because the pneumatic style of movement resembles an oil pump. Over there, they consider the dance salacious enough to inspire anti-pornography debates in parliament. Check it out.
