| The government plans to block foreign pornographic Internet sites to protect teenagers from obscene video files. The Ministry of Information and Communication called on the country's major fixed-line operators Friday to check the technical viability of the scheme. ``We are set to deny access to porn sites based overseas, with details being unveiled early next week,'' said Suh Byung-jo, director general at the ministry. ``We feel obliged to come up with measures to counter the recent woes caused by adult video clips available on the internet,'' said Suh, who chaired the meeting.? Suh's remarks came in the wake of a set of mishaps early this week involving major portal sites such as Yahoo Korea, Daum Communication and Naver. On March 18, two porn videos were posted on Yahoo Korea, the nation's second-string Web portal. More than 20,000 users downloaded the files. Unaware of this, Yahoo Korea left the clips on their site for roughly six hours and a number of minors are believed to have downloaded them. Daum, the second-largest portal site, also carried an audio-visual file of foreign fashion models exposing their breasts for approximately seven hours last Tuesday. On the same day, a Web surfer posted a nude photo of a woman at the top portal Naver but the company did not remove the picture for about four hours. ``It may cost some investment for the Internet service providers to block overseas porn sites and the overall Internet connection speed may slightly slow down due to such steps,'' Suh said. ``Plus, it will be a tall task to block every porn site. But we think we have to be able to cut access to a nasty site when our people report it,'' Suh said. However, some are concerned that porn sites will find a way to sidestep the access bans.
Goosey's Gabbings... So, you're going to block porn, eh? Remember the Dunkin' Donuts commercials? I believe this will go something like this..A Korean man gets out of bed.."Time to block the porn sites..." then the whole rest of the day he will continue to say "Time to block the porn sites..." until he gets home one day and runs into himself--"Time to block the porn sites.." "I already blocked the porn sites!!!"
