Title: South Korea To Legalize Miniskirts
Post by: Foxy Brown on November 07, 2006, 02:23:05 AM: During the 1970s, when South Korea was governed by hardline authoritarian decree, government agents armed with rulers prowled the streets measuring skirt lengths in search of violators of the country's indecency laws.

Police could even arrest women for their choice of fashion if it were deemed to risquй. That same indecency law exists today, if only on the books, as police have long surrendered their pursuits of arresting women in miniskirts and daisy-dukes short-shorts. Nevertheless, the South Korean government is in the process of revising the law to match the fashion motifs of the day. (http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7005392824)

They're everywhere, but it really is good that South Korea can undo them.
I'm happy that all the oaks in Sweden isn't the kings property anymore.

Post by: TydusArandor on November 08, 2006, 06:58:36 AM: What? It was illegal? Korean men don't like miniskirts?

Or maybe, this is just a small sacrifice for the sake of getting to measure random girls' skirts? :o

I was going to say the same thing; I've never heard of such law. My friend Il-keyon is from South Korea and she goes to a private catholic school there. Polo shirt and a red/black plaid mini-skirt is her uniform. o_O

How odd. But, Score 1 for S.Korea! ;D

Post by: Himalia on November 19, 2006, 08:16:31 PM: I must say it just seems like another one of those insane laws that countries come up with. How enforced was it ? was it just an excuse to arrest people if they wanted yet another reason to do so more than anything.

When I first read that I was like.. wow.. no one told Baby VOX 6 years ago LOL

There is a law here in Alabama that makes it legal to beat your wife as long as the rod you beat her with isnt bigger than a quater in circumfrence.

Post by: Owaranai_sLaVe on November 25, 2006, 12:18:23 AM: I first thought my boyfriend was lying to me (he's Korean) when he said that it was illegal. He also stated that it was such a weird (and a shame o_O) for Korean girls to be wearing mini skirts (that "stopped at their asses").

I for one am hella happy they are letting girls wear miniskirts... HYORI!!! BOA!!! JUN JI HYUN! Flash me with your legs! :D

Didnt BoA wear a mini skirt for her Dakishimeru video? The one where shes wearing this red jacket or whatever?
