South Korea moves to legalise miniskirts
Hot pants and miniskirts will soon be legal in South Korea
The country is in the final stages of revising an indecency law that prohibits people from wearing revealing outfits and was once enforced by ruler-wielding police during authoritarian governments in the 1970s, officials said. Under authoritarian rule, police could arrest or fine women for their fashion choices. They also took scissors to men whose hair they felt was too long and tossed people in jail for unauthorised dancing.

The rules stayed on the books as South Korea moved to an open democracy in the late 1980s, but were no longer enforced. Now miniskirts are about as common as traffic jams in the capital of Seoul and police have long given up on measuring the distance from knees to hemlines.

Thanks a lot Bill Clinton, for opening up crude sexuality to the masses and making it acceptable and fun. And a special nod to Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Madonna, and all the other skankbags who have rotted the world ten times over. I wasn't made for these days.

Before it's legal, is their any call for special-foreigner-tape-measuring-skills? I can measure in English.. Though I can be a bit slow sometimes, especially if I forget whether I'm supposed to be measuring the inside or outside of the thigh..

Ah a move in the right/wright direction-UPWARDS!, Next we need a law to ban the ugly grandmother underwear that they wear under the miniskirts and hot pants. Long Live the G String. Viva La Revolucion!!!

Now if we could just get a ban on wearing jeans with a dress.

Heh. I remember one of my students in Daegu always wore a mini-skirt during the summer vacation. She usually stayed in Seoul for the rest of the year. Anyway, one day she came into class wearing a very short mini-skirt. Across from her, a red faced young man in his 20's placed his text book on his lap. It took me a second to understand why. So, I didn't hit him with too many questions as he was having a hard time anyway

Sadly, this is what they mean by "hot pants".
