I watched Edison Chen’s interview on CNN’s TalkAsia. You know, compared to our very own infamous doctor Hayden Kho (of the Hayden Cam sex videos scandal), Edison really showed remorse and obviously aged due to the effects of the scandal he was embroiled in. Watch the interview for yourself.
And in case you are looking for the 3-Part CNN’s TalkAsia’s Anjali Rao interview of the controversial HongKong star Edison Chen (of the infamous Chen-gate sex photos scandal), here are the videos…
Two articles about the ongoing brouhaha that is called “Hayden Cam” sex video scandal. Loved both messages of the articles. One serious, the other sarcastic.
To quote some of the things I like in the article by Jim Paredes…
Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Multiply and others seem to have created a generation of low-level narcissists, exhibitionists and voyeurs…
The Internet has become our cyber body, mind and nervous system. Everyone is now part of everyone else. And this Internet “mind” we all share, just like the human mind described by Freud and Jung, harbors both our good and bad sides and everything in between. Thus, it broadcasts our activities that are for public consumption and also, when you analyze it, the shadows that live within us.
If it is acceptable to post almost everything in our lives on the Net, then why is it a surprise that our sex lives are suddenly included as well? In no way do I mean that posting anything that violates a person’s privacy is correct or even understandable. But sadly, I think there is a perverse inevitability to it.
Instead of getting lost in this demeaning circus that tempts us to trivialize and even laugh at other people’s suffering, we may want to retain our humanity and spare its victims the inhumanity of all this by simply refusing to watch those blasted sex videos.
Unlike the now controversial mother of Hayden, the Spanish mestiza Irene de la Santa Kho, who went ballistic on national TV to blame Katrina Halili, Senator Bong Revilla and Ang Pilipino Star Ngayon columnist Lolit Solis, the parents of Sarah Geronimo former PLDT lineman Delfin Geronimo and wife Divina are paragons of humility, moral rectitude, discipline and emotional balance.
When I inquired how she and her husband brought up Sarah to become a level-headed and good young lady, someone admired as much for her talent as well as her positive persona, Divina Geronimo replied: “We only taught our daughter two things: obey God’s teachings and your parents, then all will be okay.”
Classic!
And by the way, I am a huge fan of Sarah Geronimo. Eversince I watched those movies with John Lloyd Cruz and reading several pages of a magazine article about her. Such a humble kid with so much respect for her parents.
