It's not every day that we wake up to news about a celebrity sex tape scandal on the front page of the New York Times, but that's exactly what happened today in our post-New Year's hangoverish haze as The Lede reports on the odd case of Malaysian Minister of Health Chua Soi Lek, who resigned his post after somehow becoming the unwitting star of a professionally shot and edited sex romp with a lady friend which was then sold on the street and even sent to some people as junk mail. Unfortunately, looking for videos of disgraced middle-aged Malaysian politicians isn't quite the sort of thing we do our best at first thing in the morning, especially when there's a hangover involved—but as soon as those download links start rolling in, you can bet we'll share them with you. Just because we're not exactly turned on by this sort of thing doesn't mean that someone out there isn't.
