Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the actual story of the anatomically correct dolls being used in Indonesia to teach about age appropriate reproductive and sexual health. I especially love the story because it addresses a much needed gap in stories coming out of the "Muslim world" regarding gender and sexuality that are uplifting, inspiring and hopeful. My issue is with CNN and its labeling this video as "tiny tots in sex-ed use explicit dolls" and the warning that "this video includes graphic content-viewer discretion is advised." I am saddened to see the labeling of such a refreshing and honest perspective on sex education as a sexually explicit material and hope that in the future CNN can actually take a lesson from what the folks on the ground are saying about the subject matter (increased understanding of one's body, learning the difference between good touch and bad touch and increased self esteem to name a few.) And kudos to the Indonesian Planned Parenthood Association and World Population Fund for addressing this important issue! 
If I'm right - and CNN's "explicit content" warning certainly seems to suggest that I am - then it's a fun absurdity/irony that the movie segment talks about the "conservative culture" of Indonesia, while being made for what could be called a just as or in some ways even more conservative culture. At least CNN seems to think their viewers are more conservative than Indonesia.
