In the latest proof that the Hankyoreh is developing into a true rival of the Chosun Ilbo, it has this piece that would be right at home with some of the tabloid crap that the Chosun puts out for our enjoyment.
It seems that condom sales are down at several retailers this year. The Hanky says that the development is likely due to couples trying to make little piglets (since the Year of the Pig is very lucky for babies). The fact that Korean condoms are scientifically designed to cut off all circulation to a man’s naughty bit (and thereby prevent the need for condoms in the future) is not mentioned.

korean condoms are designed to bust on anything bigger than the size of a thumb!!!!
Whenever I read about couples trying to make pigs, more than condom sales end up dropping, I can tell you that.
“as this is a very lucky year for babies”
I had no idea. I myself, am a pig. The story I heard about the Chinese animal/year system had something to do with a race, and us stupid pigs were dead last because we’re lazy and didn’t even wake up on time to show up at the race.
What’s the generally accepted reason/story behind pigs being a good year in Korea?
I’ve heard that it’s because the Chinese word for ‘pig’ sounds like the Chinese word for ‘money’. Just like the number 4 is unlucky because it sounds like the word for ‘death’ in Chinese.
Silly homophones.
Hey now, we will have no homophopia on this blog. So keep your racist thoughts to yourself.

E.T. homophonia…
