If you happen to need one more example of the Great Divide between the East and the West, look no further than the fact that CNN is reporting that Hong Kong actor Edison Chen has "called it quits" amidst the brouhaha that ensued after those homemade sex photos surfaced a few weeks ago ... while here in the US, of course, "sometimes a sex scandal can be a career boost".
