Smoking, knives, genitalia, breasts
All illegal in Korea
I remember the good ol days when they showed lingerie models when selling underwear. Good bye to that too! |

| It's important for the moral and physical health of the country to mosaic any little thing on TV, like a cigarette or lady-lumps.......... but let's not worry about the thousands of Love Hotels, massage parlours, room salons, sexy bars, etc. which can be found in almost any neighborhood of Korea. |

Damn shame because they show filth as "entertainment" on MTV, "Comedy
" (Da-mi-ji), and FOX (which is all porn after 12am)
As if some kid isn't going to snap because they couldn't see a knife wound on the telly. |

That reminds me of Japanese adult films. I don't think I'll ever understand the logic behind censoring those. |

| I noticed the smoking thing a few days ago. I don't remember ever seeing it before, but maybe I wasn't paying attention... |

| Last night I was wondering why the bloody part of an autopsy on NCIS looked funny and fuzzy. For TV it was fake but they still censored it. Funny! |

Ahhh...those were the good old days. I wasted 30 minutes watching a lingerie commercial recently waiting for the chicks to roll out. |

Don't forget all the little cards strewn about with lingerie clad (and sometimes topless) hookers advertising room salons, home service calls and massage parlors. |

Yah I should just walk around with a little black bar taped to the head of my business. It's ok then right?
Kinda like the nipple=breast concept in the states.
Cause that without that little bit my libido stays perfectly unaroused.
Censorship is a bit of a crock. Anyone see this music video?

I remember visiting the UK in high school and being amazed when I saw advertisements for that Shampoo where the women look like they are orgasming, and they were topless! |

Too much American Influence. Morality codes on TV have been almost always nonsense.
Get a clue from Europe K-Land. |

Weird. So, is smoking only bad if foreigners do it? Maybe it's a ban on depicting foreign cigarettes on tv.
Hey, good news for the boys: in a subway station, I saw the new poster advertising Vivaldi Park, and there are Korean women wearing skimpy bikinis on it! I've never seen a picture of a Korean woman in a bikini before. Even in the summertime, the waterpark ads always showed them in some weird bra top/ short sleeved hoodie combo. |

I was wondering about the American influence on Korean TV myself the other day......I was watching a kids channel with my 18 month old daughter and the programming style was like in America, where they show the opening credits of the next show then cut to a four minute commercial break!
I grew up watching British TV where they just run the program from the start then do a commercial break after about 15 minutes. To me the American style is really annoying. I've just watched a bunch of commercials, now you're going to show me the first 30 seconds of the show and then cut to more commercials!! What!??
Also, I think you're right about this ultra-careful morality thing being imported from America where you can't show a certain set of things, like a cigarette, but you can show quite violent movies.
Then there's the ridiculous age certificates given to day time drama's! It'll show an age restriction of 15 for something where the wildest event is two ajumma's arguing!! |
