Playboy Magazine Debuts In Indonesia -- With No Nudity
x(

<snip>

JAKARTA, Indonesia -- It's not the same Playboy you may be used to seeing.

For one thing -- no naked women.

In fact, the photos of female models appearing in the edition of Playboy that goes on sale Friday in Indonesia aren't any more risque than those appearing in other magazines already being sold there.

That may not satisfy clerics in the mostly-Muslim country, who wanted the magazine kept out of Indonesia entirely.

A member of the country's Council of Clerics describes Playboy as "an icon of pornography."

Playboy is also planning to launch a version of the magazine without nude photos soon in India.
