In my opinion, many people still want to read something to go with the pictures. And to be fair, many glossies do have pretty greasy 'gossipy-thingies' to write, and they do write in an entertaining way. Why wouldn't people want to read those comments/sweepy suggestions along with the pics? So maybe - just maybe - people are buying magazines for the writing in them, not just the pictures?! ;) Do you think that the fact that people are buying the magazines might have something to do with the actual ARTICLE printed together with the pictures?

Those who posted the pictures, circulated them to their friends and used them on the magazine are making joy and money out of others' misery. Part of this is due to a weak sense of responsible and ethical conducts on someone else's property. We all have curiosty, but there is a difference between that and invasion of privacy and the later is what most of the people in HK have done in this incident- buying and producing those magazines and picture. This is actually making money out of sex! Do the media realize that? Another underlaying issue that has led to the overblown of this incident is that sex is not a subject that people can have a healthy and comfortable discussion easily. Some feel embarrassed, some feel dirty. This is partly a result of a conservative view of sex in the Chinese community where sex is only a behind-the-door thing and talking about it makes you a sexual person, which is of course not a norm in our culture. Why is it so dirty or embarrassing to talk about it if we all hold a healthy attitude and mindset to discuss and, more importantly, teach the younger ones. Chinese parents tend to avoid this topics and leave that to the teachers at schools. At school, the people you talk about sex with are your peers. There is a lack of proper guidance and sex becomes an even more mysterious and exciting thing. However, sex is just part of being a human being. It is how we reproduce. But it is absolutely private. It is interesting to note that such a sexually- repressed country has one of the biggest world population. Go figure. I think that this incident has created a void in the society to be filled with more discussion about privacy and sexual behavior in school and at home. It may be hard to take the first step but this is a great opportunity to do it now in light of this incident. Apology accepted? As for Edison's apology, I don't buy it because I don't think he owes me any. I don't even understand why people think they have the right to demand one from him after violating his privacy. The only people he need to apologize are the girls being exposed and their families. That's all! He must be under so much pressure to have to apologize to all HK people. But why? Because he is an actor and many young people look up to these figures? From my understanding is that he signed a contract as an entertainer, not Mother Theresa or the prime minister. And why would people look up to celebrities? You can admire their talents but one should distinguish admiration from idolization. There are many other people to look up to in this world who are actually doing great things besides performing. One last thing I like to point out is that the word "scandal" has been used in association to this incident. Which part of it is scandalous? The sex part?The picture taking part? Or the part where people went crazy about seeing other people naked? If I have to choose, the most scandalous part is that people have the guts to watch the pictures, comment on them, passed them around and yet blame the guy who took these picture for his own private leisure. If you have seen those pictures, I think you owe him an apology because you have violated his private life already. A young man's career has been ruined. The public who participated in it can move on easily but it is not that easy for Edison. I hope he will be safe from the triad and recover well. HK is still a relatively conservation place and he may be better off to have his career in Hollywood where sex scandal is not a big deal. We should all put this incident to rest and really take this chance to reflect on our own misconducts.
