Renowned Indonesian movie director and screenwriter Joko Anwar posted a challenge to his less than 1000 followers that if he reached 3000 followers he would go into a Circle K naked.
Maybe he meant it, maybe he just underestimated the power of social networking, but either way Joko Anwar reached his goal in less than one hour, and Circle K hit the top of Twitter Trending Topics. As of this writing, Joko Anwar's Twitter had jumped to almost 12,000.
It also appears that Joko intends to follow through with his promise, as he has been tweeting out that he is currently on the way to Circle K to perform his dastardly deed. His friends have also posted statuses that make it appear as though the famed Indonesian movie director has actually followed through on his promise.
However, do not expect this writer to post pictures of Joko Anwar's streak through the Circle K. We'll leave that to you.
UPDATE: It is true. Joko Anwar went through with his plan, as evidenced by the TwitPic he sent out.

The Circle K really isn't that big. He should promise to run naked through a mall or something. ;-)

Should be careful, he might violate some indecency law as I'm sure there is in Indonesia.
Joko Anwar ROX! He kept his words!
Jenny, in Indonesia what he did would be more courageous than running naked across a mall in America or Europe!
