Hong Kong star humbled by "Sexy Photos Gate"

Wed, 02/27/2008 - 4:37pm

We tend to imagine Hong Kong as a free-wheeling, anything goes kind of place. But in many ways, it still reflects the conservatism of the mainland, as a recent sex scandal reminds us. Edison Chen, a Canadian-born star who has done movies, albums, ad campaigns (I first got to known him as the face on my Pepsi cans in China) is now finito in the Hong Kong entertainment industry after indecent, OK, overtly pornographic, pictures of him and fellow female stars rocked the Special Administrative Region and spilled into the mainland and Taiwan. Here's the basic rundown.

When Edison took his laptop to get serviced, somebody found extremely graphic photos of sexual encounters with various actresses on his hard drive and published them on the Internet. Various local newspapers then splashed partially censored photos on their front pages for 10 days straight (the uncensored versions were accessible online, in separate magazine supplements, and were passed around on mobile phones or e-mail). What made the scandal especially shocking was that some of the female stars in the photos have built their careers on "innocent girl" images. The damaging coverage of the starlets has led to alleged death threats against Edison, and odd Hong Kong gang bounties like HK $500,000 (about USD $91,000) to chop off his hand, leading some to speculate that the women's management has mob ties.

While the overwhelming majority of people in Hong Kong didn't approve of the photos, polls also show that those who did see them sure seemed to keep clicking as they voiced their disapproval.

Edison has apologized and said he's stepping out of the industry once his current obligations are complete. Given the public outrage over "Sexy Photos Gate," saving face is probably the wise move for now. But I don't foresee a young star with so much of his career ahead of him staying away for that long. Something tells me he'll come through.

The sexy pictures

by kastalino on Thu, 02/28/2008 - 5:25am

Is Mr. Edison a golden egg layer in the industry he is in?
His decision of quitting Hong Kong showbiz is it the acceptable way of apology to the whole society of Hong Kong?
Does his leaving from showbiz is a lost to the entertainment industry of Honk Kong?
If the Hong Kong police investigation proved to be true, he is nothing but a condemned social parasite.
In order to boost his own popularity, he was selfishly using by exposing these naughty pictures he took shooting on those famous women he slept with.
He really did something very wrong that made people of Hong Kong angry. It was not because the people there were conservative it was due to his ill thinking of enterprising his fame.
The inconsideration of him in fact has brought hurts and harms to those women involved. It is a disaster to many famous and beautiful ladies who have associated with him and willingly allowed him to make love to them as well as taking photograph of them.
In his devil alike mentality he automatically thought he could be benefited by utilizing those scandal pictures uploading them to the cyber world.
This is the reason some people wanted to cut down his head.
Because his head is brainless.
He should be sued to court and pay monetary compensations to those girls he purposely put them into trouble.

Recently there were news

Recently there were news reported in papers that police investigation showed the whole issues of scandal were in fact purposely done by Mr. Edison himself.

A police spoke man revealed he is the main culprit who thought that by exposing those naughty pictures to the public he would be benefited.

Other unproven news circulated around that the mods wanted to punish those celebrities for not helping them to gain more money in the entertainment market.

Their financial gaining was lessened and then put the blames on these girls. By making these famous women to be more tamed in future the triad forcefully used Mr.Edison to coax them to have sex with him and then took a shooting naked pictures of them.

If all the news were proved to be true Mr. Edison would sure be put into hot water himself.

In the newly reported stories in the media, one was able to see those female celebrities were actually a bunch of mindless unthoughtful big bosom creatures. The personal private life of them was totally messy. They were considered to be rusty,lusty and itchy-bitchy horny.

It is in fact sexuality is full of fun and enjoyable sexual intercourse is beautiful. (Should I mention it here since every body knew about it?) Why they be put into such an uncontrollable situation? Fames gone. Names tarnished and advertisement contracts cancellation taking place.

But after all these unhappy incidents circulated through media in the public, people should be calmed and think what action should be taken to mend it to be properly controlled.

Lets every thing back to normal.
Let these girls back on stage.
Let Mr. Edison be locked in prison.

If your daughter is Gillian.......................

by kastalino on Fri, 02/29/2008 - 9:57pm

Days ago one of my good friends complained to me that he said he was bluffed sentimentally cheated by Gillian.
During the time she was performing in Genting casino, it was reported she was photographed by surprises when she was changing cloth in the change room by sneaker photographer. She acted so innocently and pitifully crying a lot in the media conference publicly. At that time my friend was foolishly thought this Gillian was his dolly goddess. He took Gillian was her only secret lover inside his sentimental heart.
But, when the Mr. Edison's scandal sexy photos leakage took place, he received certain naked posed photos of Gillian, to him, he was struck and totally out of his imagination to understand it and ration it out. He foolishly took it that he was cheated by Gillian. It was because he finally found out that Gillian wasn't as innocent and pure as he thought to be. She was an ordinary person like himself as he also needed desires and loves.
In fact, Gillian didn't cheat on my friend's mentally feeing at all. Her appearances shown in these scandal photos wasn't at all misconducted. The reaction showed on her face was as normal as everybody when she one having sexuality with someone. There was no need to be specially taken by surprised.
This scandal incident happening surface to the public my first reaction was that we couldn't belittle the power of alcohol and drugs, its influences to women were tremendously terrible beyond control. Many women have always unaware of the powerful function of the spirit drink and drugs. Many dating eventually went into ugliness was usually effected by drinking of alcohol and taking of drugs. Under the influence of lacquer consuming, males or females (especially women) couldn't verify the dangerous environment they were situated. At the same time it brought disasters unexpectedly . Dating sometime became raping cases and forcefully to be photographed nakedly. Eventually sometime it was used to make extortion on the apparatus of threatening to expose it to the public.
Both of them were not married. Miss Gillian was not wrong at all. The only thing she had done wrongly was that she had chosen a wrong sex partner. The bad name of the messy multi- sexual relationship should be put it to Mr. Edison. Everybody has to be advised not to download and spread these sexy photos all over the cyber internet again and again. It should be put to stop. Those involved celebrities were not contracted performers in the pornography film. If any one wanted to study about sexualities might as well go over to other places where was more sexually opened. It is time to stop accusing and put more harms to these poor actresses.
Seriously think twice of it if your daughter is Gillian, do you feel sorry for it?

Gangsterism in Asian countries.

by kastalino on Tue, 03/04/2008 - 11:48pm

Am I a broken rapper?
I kept saying the same thing in my previous comments. Same were too boring that had been deleted by web site master.
In this scandal incident I saw the need of telling people to understand more about the controversial points that surfaced to the public.
There are gangsterism in many countries in Asia regions. It is an unavoidable headache to the police of its existent in the countries concerned.
This Mr. Edison is possibly a controlled item of the gangster in Hong Kong. The mob could be using him to do such a thing without his willingness.
Those ladies and female celebrities involved were possibly forced to be tamed and gave way. These poor little ladies are a bunch sex tools and money produced machines.
When they (mobs) needed to make more money for the organization to feed up various triads of power, they were compulsively forced to run their business as their own tactics and styles.
According to the old stories about gangsterism as taking place before in Hong Kong, many actors and actresses had been bullied and forced to comply to do certain things they didn't want to do.
To my thinking this is one of the same cases as they did it as before.
The point is who is the Kira?
Why the police in Hong Kong doesn't take up any action to find out who is he?
