South Korea ends informal ban on imported sex dolls, launches fighter jets after North Korean drones violate airspace

South Korean officials on Monday ended an informal policy of seizing full body sex dolls at customs checkpoints and launched fighter jets in response to an incursion by North Korean drones, the Associated Press reports – both on the sex dolls thing and the drone incursion.

Now mind you the officials who made the sex dolls policy change and weren’t the same as the ones who ordered anti-air defenses to shoot down the North Korean drones. These decisions were reached in completely separate departments of the South Korean government. You could certainly say however that beyond the obvious and salient commonality of being actors of the same state, there’s also that both actions relate to permitting the presence within South Korean territory of foreign technology designed to automate certain tasks performed by human personnel. Those being copulation and aerial reconnaissance for the sex dolls and North Korean drones, respectively.

So we feel pretty comfortable putting these two separate AP-sourced upstream stories together in a single National Zero article. Yeah, the government did say “Sex dolls OK” and “North Korean drones NOT OK,” but come on. How much space is an American website supposed to devote to a country a majority of our readers have never visited? The Korean Peninsula gets plenty of coverage here, and if there’s a chance to streamline then why not take advantage of it? We’d be silly not to.
