One of the sure-fire ways to vex the always watchful Great Firewall of China is an Internet sex scandal involving its famous celebrities in Hong Kong.
This might be one of the reasons, aside from public castigation, why popular actor and hip-hop artist Edison Chen apologized to the public and vowed to leave the show business indefinitely. But for perverts, he’s the sex god of China these days.
In case you don’t know, Chen was in the movie The Grudge 2 with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Ok, never mind. Back to the main issue.
According to Chen, those 1,300 sex and sexually suggestive photos of 6 famous celebrities were stolen when he went to a computer repair shop to fix his lustful laptop. It was later uploaded on the Net by one of the shop’s crew.
To date, this scandal has led to 10 arrests for distributing explicit photos – a big deal if you’re in China since pornography is a mortal sin there. China even censured its local search engine Baidu.com for allegedly helping spread these photos.
Then again, 1,300 private photos? Wow!

being informed is sexy
I dont why such a big deal would be made of such a thing. He did not distribute the photos himself, a computer repair facility leaked the photos claiming to be him. Besides the pictures and photos should not be considered pornography when in fact they are just intimate keepsakes that should be allowed between couples.
