Comment posted Edison Chen Apologizes and Leaves Hong Kong Entertainment by Niki.

I just watched the apology and I thought it was pretty lame. For 95% of it, he didn’t seem sincere and sound and look like he’s just reading a script. However, it’s sad that he and Gillian has to apologize or explain in the first place because they didn’t do anything wrong. Edison is as much a victim as the female stars involved. They might be accountable for their public behaviours, (because of they are celebrities) but they are definitely not accountable for their (legal) private behaviours to anyone. Is having s@x with your girlfiends or dates a crime? So he happens to be popular with girls, is that a crime? So he likes to keep pictures of their s@x lives, is that wrong? We have to understand that just because so many girls sleep with him doesn’t make him a bad person. The girls themselves were not forced to sleep with him. Even if Edison is the playboy type who date so many girls, perhaps at the same time, is that really our business? Besides, who is to say that the girls themselves are not also dating more than one person, or I’m sure most of them have had their fair share of boyfriends, no less than Edison.
Remember, Their privacy got invaded because someone stole these pictures and uploaded them for the world to see, and suddenly it became everybody’s business. Let’s not forget that we’re looking at stolen pictures.
In any case, it’s their misfortune that their private lives got stolen and uploaded. Those who stole and uploaded them are ultimately the ones to blame, and the only ones to blame. The power of the media and general human curiousity didn’t help of course. Most of the HK citizens who are complaining are also responsible for driving what has been a non-stop one month front page media coverage of all of this which is making the whole thing worse than it really is every single day.
