OMG Steven Lim

Gillian's Reply.

The Biggest Lesson of Edison's Scandal is the Exposure of Hypocrisy

So Gillian Chung finally emerged to face the media and the public. She had to come out sooner or later because she does not want to give up her artist career and her company does not want to abandon a goose that lays golden eggs. She said that she was very naïve and very silly, but now she has grown up. In those few short sentences, she did not admit to any mistakes but she has practically admitted that the photographs were not the product of computer modification.

In truth, Gillian Chung had not been very naïve and she was not silly. Her image of an innocent little angel was posed. Two years ago, she cried publicly after the EasyFinder photos and said that she could not face up to young people who idolize her. Another time, she saw Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse kissing and she said that she was disgusted and that she would never do that. She attended the organized by the City of David Cultural Centre and stated clearly that she opposed pre-marital sex. While she was saying those words in 2006, she was also posing for those obscene photographs. In a comment left at Apple Daily, someone wrote: "We despise you not for your licentiousness, but for your hypocrisy."

This gets right to the point. In truth, Gillian Chung is not the only hypocrite. Her company Emperor Entertainment Group was also hypocritical. On the first obscene photographs appeared, EEG announced that these photographs were manufactured by "criminal elements" using "computer modification" and they filed a police report immediately. The Performance Artists Association was also hypocritical. During the EasyFinder episode, the Association was up at arms. In the face of these obscene photographs, the Association only said that "this was not just sad for the entertainment industry, but for all of the people of Hong Kong as well." The performance artists may be sad because they are afraid their own private affairs will also be revealed, but what has the majority of the people of Hong Kong got to be sad about? Why is there any need for the people of Hong Kong to be sad over the sorrows of a few individual entertainers?

The police were also hypocritical. Before the Obscene Articles Tribunal even made any classifications, the police arrested netizen Chung Yik-tin for posting one obscene photograph and remanded him without bail for eight weeks. This was clearly a case that the police was using to intimidate netizens from circulating the obscene photographs, but they claimed that Chung was involved in another fraud case. It is unprecedented for someone to be held without bail on two unrelated cases. This is the hypocrisy of law enforcement. Commissioner of Police Tang King-shing rendered an "interpretation of the law" when he claimed that possession of obscene photographs "with intent to distribute" is against the law. It was clear that the police wanted to intimidate people.

The hypocrisy of the police also showed up in that they knew that the obscene photographs originated from the computer of Edison Chen, but they still kept looking for the 'source' everywhere. Why not summon Edison Chen directly for interrogation and ask for an accounting to see if the photographs were taken secretly or with consent? To whom were the obscene photographs given to? How did it circulate to the outside? They knew where the source was but they didn't bother. Instead they went around arresting people all over the street. This showed that the police was unfair and hypocritical in enforcing the law.

Some of the media were also hypocritical. They raised the banner of morality. They condemned those who possess and view the obscene photographs. They even condemned the other media which reported on these obscene photographs for publishing edited versions. The exposure of the truth should be the duty of the media. It is especially important to expose the true faces of performance artists who pretend that they are morally upright or innocent little angles, so that the fans won't be fooled.

The storm over these obscene photographs revealed all sorts of hypocrisies. This may be the reason why "Kira" released more photographs each time that another hypocrisy was committed, including escalating the degree of obscenity. The storm over these obscene photographs tell us that some people think that they can do anything or tell any lies as long as they close the door and leave no material evidence (such as photographs).

What is hypocrisy? In law, this refers to acts or speeches that present a narrative that is inconsistent with the facts. Simply put, this refers to certain misleading or deceptive narratives. The series of hypocritical acts and speeches brought up by the obscene photographs lets people feel that Hong Kong has become a city of hypocrisy.

Fortunately, there are still some media that are awake and insistent on uncovering the truth. Fortunately, there are still the netizens, especially those who protested against the hypocritical police on the day before yesterday.

Zhang Bo Chi Reply to the scandal (Cool but Fake)

大家好,我是张柏芝。
          其实我并没有打算对这件事做任何的回应,因为在我看来,除了阿仔和他的家人我不欠任何人交待。不过我的助手跟我说,这世上有一群人,他们是我的FANS,他们曾经为我的作品买单,让我可以去买LV的包和Chanel的裙子,让Lucas可以在很好的医院里出生。这些人曾经很喜欢我,为我欢呼尖叫,并给出关怀和支持,而现在他们很伤心很难过,觉得受骗上当,甚至很愤怒,而我也需要对他们有个交待。
          说实话我觉得这件事情挺无聊,我和什么人做爱,在什么地方用何种方式,那都是我自己的事,现在搞得来似乎全世界人都有权利来关心似的。我知道你们都在等什么,等着看我如何为自己辩解,把谎话说圆,把责任推开,然后很得意的笑两声,说这个白痴女人,连说谎都说得那么蠢。
          
          不过很可惜,这一次你们要失望了。
          照片是真的,和不同的男人做爱、磕药、通宵跳舞这些事我全干过。别问我为什么,我想,这世上很多人都会有不想规规矩矩做人的时候,只不过,有些人想了没做,有些人做了没人知道,而我想了做了,很不幸,还让你们都知道了。
          我这辈子没做过什么伤天害理的事,我犯过很多错,有很多错得相当离谱,也伤过不少人,但那些人里面不包括坐在屏幕前面等着看这份申明的你们。被我伤害过的人我会去弥补,用我的下半辈子,如果他还需要。
          不必称赞我很有勇气,承认这些不需要什么勇气,因为即使不承认也不会有人相信。而且我好像也从来没有隐瞒过,说实话我还以为这年头不蒲夜不磕药不滥交才是怪事,我不知道原来我形象一直以来还挺清纯的。
          
          为了给好这次交待,我的助手帮我收集了一些言论。
          我很抱歉杀了大家心目的玉女张柏芝,但我想你们应该会快的找到替代品。
          我知道有很多人在等着我自杀,但我实在想不出我为什么该死,所以又让你们失望了。
          有很多人在指责我说谎,这让我很惊喜,我还以为这个世上不掌握点说真话的技巧已经活不下去,原来大家还都这么天真,还在要求人类在任何场合对任何事都诚实坦白。这是好品质,虽然我不拥有,但我希望你们能保持。
          不过有一件事我没有说谎,我和陈冠希没有拍拖过,我们做爱,但是没有拍拖,明白我的意思吗?
          
          看到有爸妈觉得我教坏小女生,好吧,虽然我不是小朋友的偶像,但喜欢张柏芝这个名字的人里,可能真的有小女生。那么我想对她们说得是,没什么意思,那些看起来很刺激很好玩的事,我都做过,没什么意思,我现在觉得都特别无聊。当然我不相信靠我这样假模假样的劝两句会有什么用,榴莲有多臭,要吃过了才会知道。
          说实话我现在挺后悔的,后悔没有意义,听起来也很虚伪,但这后悔是真的,否则我会继续那样过下去,而不是跟人结婚生小孩。
          
          我嫁给阿仔是因为我爱他,他是最好的男人,他让我觉得即使什么都不干,只是发呆看着他,也比跟别的男人做爱更快乐。我曾经打算把后半辈子全交给他,我会很乖,全听他的做,我觉得这样会很幸福。我一直都很笨,搞不清楚自己要什么,但是他聪明,他会保护我,照顾好我,让我什么都不用想,我以为这就是幸福。他说会用性命来搏这场爱情,我以为这样的日子会很久……
          阿仔没看那些照片,这些天我一直在陪他打电动,他跟我说没事,只是需要一点时间。我一直在等他,等那点时间过去,他说什么我都会照着做,我相信他会照顾好我,也照顾好Lucas。
          任何事情都会过去,会很快,可能三个月后你们就不再关心这些照片,或者半年,三年,如果时间太长,我会带着Lucas去国外。只要别少买包少买衣服,我的钱还很够用,所以不用帮我担心Lucas的生活,即使离婚我也不会把Lucas交给别人去养,我不相信会有人比我更爱他。
          
          好了,该说的都说得差不多了,我不知道有多少人坐在屏幕前面等着听我说这些破事。说实话,我当年磕药滥交,我也觉得自己挺下流的,不过,看着我的照片打手枪,一边骂我下贱一边到处搜索新照片的你们也没高尚到哪里去。
          所以,我觉得,我就不必向你们道歉了。
          就这样吧,这就是我的交待。
          晚安!
