Hey, this is probably a more productive response to the North Korean nukes test than pushing sanctions that nobody will enforce.

Don’t forget, Robert. This is the SOUL of Asia.
That story’s got legs. The morning drive DJs included it in their news and after-banter on the “urban contemporary” radio station here in Nova Scotia.
“In one of the world’s most densely populated countries, where extended families often live together”
absolute bullshit
“…..such accommodations provide a refuge for those seeking discreet locations for intimate encounters.”
they are motels for fucking strangers and lovers outside of marriage , it has nothing to do with extended families.
More to do with extending families, then.
Must just be the general stress of the situation, rather than the “we’re all going to die” type. If you think you’re going to die, I’d expect to see condom sales drop – what consequences?
I guess they are just trying to heed:
“Make love, not war”
Women are buying and “equipping” their partners since they do not want new life coming into a world where mushroom clouds darken the horizon.
Young men go to “love motel” to play Electronic games because they know they have no future. So, instead of studying and looking for jobs, they hide out in love motels for days on end. They cannot play electronic games at home because their parents will not stand for it and “PC Bang”s are too crowded.
It is not what you think.
Bah, could be a few extra love motels opened up for business near the convenience stores. And the fact that more people are booking rooms through the internet offers no concrete clues on the overall occupancy of the motels. What it shows is that the sites more popular, that’s it.
I don’t trust the Chosun Ilbo, particularly that tabloidy section at the bottom of their main page that always runs whacked health and sex advice.
But, if you are going to be f#cked by Kim Jong-il, lie back and enjoy it, I guess.
They are simply following the Postmodernist creed as stated by Jim Morrison, the American Poet, who said, “I’m gonna get my kicks before the whole sh*thouse goes up in flames.”
This is a ridiculous story and AP should know better. The NK link is just to give the story appeal.
It’s probably the weather. Nights drawing in, getting chilly. I bet condom sales go up every year at this time.
OhMyBlog—Yes, AP maybe should have known better, but they were only repeating what they read in the Chosun Ilbo.
