I think that's referred to as the "I Shot the Sheriff (but I did not shoot the deputy)" defence. “She admitted that she had had a sexual relationship with the singer, but not with the chef.”

The government estimates the nation's sex trade at 4.4 percent of its gross domestic product, with more than half a million women active in the business.

Pornographic Web sites proliferate in a country where 8 of every 10 households have broadband Internet. But in classrooms, sex education is discouraged." Children, today's new word is 'paradoxical'. Repeat after me, 'pa-ra-do-xical'. It's a nice way of saying 'hypocritical' when you don't want your editors to be flooded with phone calls and hate mail from angry netizens. What? Pardon me? What's a 'netizen'? It's a young man who doesn't have a girlfriend, dear. “The debate over the adultery law triggered by the scandal has highlighted a paradoxical aspect of South Korean culture: the juxtaposition of straight-laced traditional values with increasingly liberal attitudes toward sex.
