Waeguk-sized condoms come to Korea

by Andy Jackson on June 24, 2008

in South Korea

And there was much rejoicing.

BTW, that was today’s weak attempt at humor. No man-meat flame wars, please.

1 Michael June 24, 2008 at 8:33 pm: Most of the thread comments here have been nothing but “man-meat flame wars.” Really boring but I guess the Korean-Japanese-Chinese who-invented-what-first and who-copied-who wienerfest at Marmot’s is never going to end.

Those gals in the picture beating up sperm-men in the condom should use something more substantial to hit them with, like iron crowbars.
2 Yoodaein Namja June 24, 2008 at 8:52 pm: This is not such a transformation of society as you make it out to be since I bought some “Hankook” condoms last year at a convenience store and they fit me pretty well.
3 Bipolar Mindscrew June 24, 2008 at 9:03 pm: I love how this headline follows the Wondergirls headline in my RSS feed. Got something on your mind Andy?
4 see the picture June 24, 2008 at 10:14 pm: News Flash:

Two young Korean men suffocate to death after Durex condom promo goes amiss.

Kim Yong-hi stated, “We thought they were having fun. Their expression in the final moments was what we were told to expect of men wearing a rubber, a short grimace then sleep.” She added that she and a co- member hit them several times more to revive them like any good women would.

Following the Durex Company training and instructions they thought nothing of the two men laying prone in a state of unconsciousness and left them without further attempts to revive.
5 KrZ June 24, 2008 at 11:24 pm: Even though I’m a foreigner I still find the headline somewhat offensive/inappropriate.
6 Netizen Kim June 24, 2008 at 11:27 pm: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all penises are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights…

Kinda hard to do w/the subject of Koreans, weaguks and penis size… but good luck!
8 GyopoTim June 25, 2008 at 5:01 am: From my investigation, I could never tell which is bigger whenever i’m in mo-kyok tang. But I did see a waegukin with a stud ring on his wang…

Ouch!! Don’t mind have these girls to hit me with crowbars..they need to strip down first though..
10 mcnut June 25, 2008 at 7:59 am: i remember korean condoms ripping as soon as i put them on the tip of my tool!
11 swlee June 25, 2008 at 8:06 am: I understand this measure will help decrease STD transmission and unintended pregnancies as the foreigner male wont have the problem of baggy condoms falling off during coitus.
I imagine there would be nothing worse than rummaging around looking for a half-used condom.
Any news on the kimchi-flavored rubbers?
12 WangKon936 June 25, 2008 at 8:13 am: “kimchi-flavored rubbers”

Gee… is that a good idea? May cause a burning sensation, unless fellatio is the only thing intended.
13 Siddhartha June 25, 2008 at 8:21 am: “May cause a burning sensation, unless fellatio is the only thing intended”

The burning sensation ensures longer erection (no need for the delay ointment), spicy kimchi flavor enhances fellation experience (easy to swallow)…Dang!! I am going to Madision ave to pitch that..
14 cmm June 25, 2008 at 9:49 am: don’t worry my waeguk friends, if you find yourself “in a pinch,” i.e. all you have on hand is a korean-sized condom, just don’t wear one. Koreans don’t have STDs (but you do), and, only about 5% of Korean girls ever insist on the condom anyway.

Just kidding, wrap it up. Here is something that might help some of you:

15 IronChefKorean June 25, 2008 at 10:57 am: Amazing. When will Magnum Size condoms come into the Korean market?

Thatll be a cold day in hell.
16 KrZ June 25, 2008 at 11:03 am: When will Magnum Size condoms come into the Korean market?

There are some Nigerians in the Itaewon area who are very concerned about this issue.
17 cmm June 25, 2008 at 11:35 am: Magnums – you can get them on the US base …if you can get access to the US base.
18 swlee June 25, 2008 at 11:39 am: You never struck me as the catcher type, cmm.
I suppose on the Internet we can be anybody that we are.
19 swlee June 25, 2008 at 11:40 am: @14

21 cmm June 25, 2008 at 12:01 pm: what do you mean “catcher?”

link works fine here.
22 David June 25, 2008 at 12:55 pm: Awesome. That’s all I can say. Awesome.
23 Alex June 25, 2008 at 1:36 pm: Yeah, when I was over there, I always made sure to bring condoms from base with me when I went out and about. The local variety were a bit uncomfy. Do you think Durex will import their normal line of products, or will they be more in line with what’s already on sale?
24 Johnson June 25, 2008 at 2:02 pm: What those two guys in the picture are thinking:

Worst. summer. job. EVER.
25 swlee June 25, 2008 at 2:07 pm: @cmm
I just get a html directory with files to sort through. Surely the importer of condoms would ensure the website was working effectively first, wouldn’t they? Maybe you need to be a foreigner to click the link
26 chiamattt June 26, 2008 at 10:21 am: Have none of you ever purchased condoms at Olive Young?

They have quite a fancy selection, and DO sell Magnum sized condoms.

Check it out and stop being such stereotypical goofs.

Yes, im looking at you 15.
27 cmm June 26, 2008 at 11:38 am: chiamatt, for some reason, your site is blocked by my company’s firewall. I think I visited there from home and left a comment last weekend, but don’t remember seeing anything too controversial. Considering what IS allowed thru the firewall (a LOT of crap), and that your site isn’t a blogspot site (such sites are blocked) I’m curious… any idea why you seem to be singled out?

Guess I’ll have to surf what I can with babelfish.

and thanks for the tip.
28 chiamattt June 27, 2008 at 9:14 am: CMM, smokehard is blocked eh? That IS strange. I have no idea. Perhaps dreamhost is the problem.

And yes, you did post a comment. Thanks.
