A verry funny title!!

Imported vibrators to penetrate Korean market.
I checked my Google Reader real quick to make sure nobody else used that joke. From the Korea Times:

The Supreme Court Monday turned down an appellate court's ruling that put on hold the import of vibrators, saying they don't challenge sexual morality or human dignity.

The court sent the case back to the appellate court for a review, with the final ruling expected late this month.

In 2007, an unidentified company importing *beep*-shaped vibrators filed the suit against the customs office at Incheon International Airport after the customs clearance for the imports was put on hold. The customs office has claimed the ``obscene'' products provoke sexual desires and undermine sexual morality and human dignity.

``The products are shaped like a *beep*. But it's different from real ones in size and detail so it's unacceptable that they apparently provoke sexual desires of lay people at a glance, humiliate people, and undermine human dignity,'' the top court said in a ruling statement.

Yet in many Love Hotels they have "Love Seats" that are made in Korea.
Also they are Korean companies that make various devices that wiggle and vibrate.
But, the same products that are imported are immoral. Sounds like another Korean Non Tarriff Trade barrier.

Wait til they start performing body cavity searches on foreign teachers upon arrival at ICN to make sure none are being smuggled into the country.

same went for the iphone and blackberry. give korean companies time to reverse engineer a better foreign product, then sell their knock offs to lock down the market, then let those foreign devils try to sell their stuff here (insert evil laugh)

but, ive been in a few of the adult shops, most of the stuff is japanese. hows that for irony? that rubber willy f*** those korean house wives is japanese. oh wait till the korean media gets in a fuss about that one...

It's not accurate in size...which way, bigger or smaller? I think I know which...and could this be part of the reason for the hold-up?

I'm tickled pink by this news.

Not a bad word choice. That was the point.

The denial of pleasure or the interest in denying pleasure is about as immoral as anything else I reckon.

Could have been worse.

Could have said, "...with force into the Korean market..."

When referring to the Korean market, I'm assuming they mean the female market?
