Vietnamese Sex Tape Is Just Like Paris Hilton’s Except … Not

Vietnam is the latest country to get caught up in sex tape mania, thanks the internet leakage of 19-year-old Hoang Thuy Linh engaged in a bedroom tryst with a rather excitable young man. The media is calling it a "Paris Hilton moment," which it totally is except that instead of vaulting an obscure rich kid with no other discernible talents on to the international stage, it has taken an actual celebrity and destroyed her life.

Linh was already well-known in her country for playing a virginal school girl on television, but now her show is canceled and experts say the public may never forgive her for her transgression. (The dude who taped it and let his friends watch is totally off the hook, of course.) We'd suggest that she find a similarly privileged, but airheaded friend to travel around the country with in order to cash in on the sensation, but if "The Simple Life 3" is the price we have to pay for a sexually liberated society, maybe a tiny bit of puritanism wouldn't be such a bad thing.
