Children Had Web Access to Sex Toy Ads
“Pictures of various sexual aids were posted on a major Internet shopping website with an average of nearly 20,000,000 monthly visitors over the past five months. Because the site requires no registration to see the pictures, it is likely that many underage visitors have been exposed to the pictures. According to Internet shopping mall business watchdogs on November 22, the online market place called G Market is known to have created an ‘adult toy’ corner below its sponsored links available to the public in July in violation of electronic communications business laws. According to the law, an Internet manufacturer cannot show obscene or harmful product pictures to visitors unidentified as adults. This means that only logged-in adult members are allowed to have access to the pictures. G Market let the general public at large view pictures of almost 90 sex toys.” —Donga.com (Korea)
G Market, the site where these pictures were posted, is a large retailer in Korea. If you type “sex” into its search engine, you can pull up all sorts of results for music and movies — everything from the Sex Pistols to Sex and the City. There are even some pornographic DVDs. What you can’t find without logging in, though, are pictures of anything unseemly. For example, you can’t see the cover of a porn DVD without registering, and that’s the crux of this whole “outrage”: the site made sex toys available to users who hadn’t logged in. Evidently Korean law forbids this.
However, the frightening part about this article is not the outrage in Korea but the prospect of an analogous outrage here in the United States. Over at Amazon, you can readily view sex toys without logging in. In fact, if you type “sex toys” into the search box, you even get a schizoid listing of “sponsored results” for both sex products and children’s toys. If you just search for “toy,” though you don’t get any listings for sex toys.
So how long can it be before some nobody conservative politician seizes on this to impress his constituency? Rather than deal with the big issues of the day, he’ll make a big deal out of this in order to wow the locals with his “save the children” shtick. After all, how do you explain this to the little ones? “That’s just the Ribbed Rabbit Pearl Wireless Pink Hidden Flower Vibrator, my dear… No, you don’t need a rabbit. It’s not that kind of stuffed animal… What kind is it? Never you mind. Now run along and play…”
