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 penis-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 penis. 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.

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:

that's gotta be one of the best titles you've come up with for a posting . . . . lol

Alternatives might have been:
"Supreme Court eases passage for dildos."
"Lawmakers force Customs to take vibrator."
"Dildo probe: Supreme Court satisfied."
"Korea's main port of entry now open to unreal dick."
etc
We all know how some groups try to block anything foreign from penetrating. Expect the flow of dildos from outside to get a little hairy.
OhmyeffingLord, the WORD VERIFICATION is: fooke
OK Kushibo, for once your TIDOS-like "Defend Korea's Honuh at All Costs" shtick was funny, and you made me laugh. Fooke indeed; but it was the OhmyeffingLord that got me. A Brit in Hawaii? Nicely done.
Some more:
"Judge reverses position on dildo."
"Incheon prepped for huge dick delivery."
"Sex toy importer gets off in court."
"Supreme court K.O.s dildo no-no."
I'm glad I could elicit a laugh from you, WeikuBoy.
And for the record, I by no means have a "defend Korea's honor at any cost" agenda. It's more of a "talk the E2's down from the bell tower" agenda, and it often gets me shot at.
Well, thank god better heads prevailed in this case.
