When someone sent us a link to some dirty photos allegedly starring actor Edison Chen earlier this week, we had to admit we weren't really interested — after all, our knowledge of Hong Kong movie stars is pretty limited and besides, how many of you reading this even know who Edison Chen is anyway? (Hint: he appeared in "Grudge 2", which we know you didn't see so don't even lie.) So we figured they pretty much ended up being just photos of some random guy getting a blowjob, and since we see plenty of those around here every day we figured it wasn't exactly newsworthy.

Little did we know until this morning, though, that said photos were part of a larger cache of pics of various Hong Kong celebrities which are the center of a fairly large (and growing) scandal this week, even if reps for some of the celebs in question say that the photos were somehow digitally altered as part of the "irresponsible prank" that led them to be posted on the interweb. So keep in mind as you're peeping them yourself that they're not just some random naked people — in another part of the world, they're famous random naked people. Which makes them a lot more interesting. Right?
