Yudhoyono's mobile went BANG

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Yudhoyono's phone offer crashes

If you are not interested in politics, then you may be forgiven for not knowing the funny name of Indonesia's President. His name is Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Being from India, I thought that this was a woman when I first read this name. Also his middle name made me think that he might be a mobster or some underworld don.

Anyways, I am digressing. Mr. Yudhoyono gave out his mobile number out to the public. I did not know that Presidents get lonely. Maybe there is credence to the phrase, "It's lonely at the top". But by Monday the line went dead after receiving 3000 odd calls.

A concerned South Jakarta resident opined that maybe he should give his email-id to ensure effective communication.

All the world's spammers, chiefly the quacks selling viagra, cialis and the stock-market crooks are salivating at the prospect of being able to spam a President ruling a country of 240 Million people.
