Culture Shock

I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this, but the more I thought about it the more I found it interesting.

Sex Photo Scandal Rocks HK Entertainment Industry (Forbes) - HONG KONG -

It's been called the equivalent of the 9/11 disaster for the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Sexually explicit pictures and a steamy video shot by Cantopop icon Edison Chen with female singers and actresses who have shared his bed have spread like wildfire around Asia over the past few weeks.

Apparently in Hong Kong, this sort of stuff is considered appalling. I also noticed that apparently a tape as surfaced of Gene Simmons cheating on his long time girlfriend, and people in America hardly bat an eye. Heck it practically makes a career for some in Hollywood.

It also reminds me of that whole episode with Richard Gere kissing that Bollywood actress in India.

Sort of interesting to see how different cultures approach these things (although I certainly hope the poor young man is able to keep his hands).
