Anyone who has recently picked up a Chinese newspaper, by now have knowledge of a scandal that is rocking the entertainment world in Hong Kong: Semi-nude photos of singer/actress Gillian Chung (of TWINS) appeared on the cover of a Chinese tabloid, with headlines that she was changing her clothes in public. This is highly controversial for five reasons:
1.) These photos were taken when Gillian was changing in a PRIVATE and LOCKED dressing room, after performing a concert in Malaysia. An intruder had snuck in and installed a hidden camera with full conspiracy in snapping these pictures. The pictures were taken without permission and is HIGHLY ILLEGAL!!!
2.) The photos were then published in a tabloid, under the headlines that Gillian was changing in public. So not only did these perverts violate the complete privacy of the girl, they were publishing FALSE accusations with full intent of defaming and hurting her. Gillian had always obtained a very wholesome image, never wearing any type of overly revealing outfits, and have always had the target market of kids and teens. That false headliner was a slap in the face.
3.) The person who took the pictures, not only is NOT being punished by the law, but has sold the pictures to a tabloid and made a ton of cash from doing so.
4.) This sick magazine (Easy Finder Magazine) had full knowledge that these pictures were illegally obtained, but decided to publish the photos anyway, profiting on the emotional and very public breakdown of Gillian Chung, her family, her friends, and her fans.
5.) What is appalling, is that everyone who has heard of this situation knows that it is a atrocity and a attack against any morality known in any country; And yet, the Hong Kong government will not step in to do something about this, because there is no law that prevents this.
This is not the first time this has happened. Actress Carina Lau was kidnapped and raped many years ago by gang members. The gang members who did the deed filmed her rape, and are selling the DVD on the streets in Hong Kong!
Crimes like these do not just happen in Hong Kong. They happen in many other Asian countries as well. For example, Japanese actress Ai Kato, found herself to be a very humiliated victim, when someone secretly filmed her bathing in a private hot-spring resort in 2003. It wasn't long before the photos were published in a magazine, and the footage sold on internet porn sites world wide. A demented sicko installed a camera in their toilet and filmed them using the restroom. That footage ended up on DVD and are sold underground as well. But what is the government doing to punish these criminals who are profiting off of illegal activities...? Shit, thats what.
The lack of any government support not only put Asian movie stars in vulnerable situations, it also leaves any Asian girl to be unprotected as well. If a young girl was riding on a train, and someone slipped their cellphone underneath her skirt to snap pictures; this person can put the pictures on porn sites or magazines, and the girl would be powerless to prosecute this criminal.
Hong Kong's government has announced that if there are 10,000 official complaints logged, then they will step in and take action. If 10,000 complaints are sent in, then the criminals (sick photographer and sick magazine included) in Gillian's case will finally be punished.
so people....whatcha think?
