I love urban myths... and wouldn't Edison just WISH that, after fun messing with that compliant niece-girl related to one of THE triads, this was one, now.
The grubby Chinese media are getting loads of mileage out of this STOOpid man-boy and his mindless little accident, just as tabloids elsewhere would with such a similar silly incident involving photogenic celebs.
Dean... While this case in HK "China" has, of course, been mentioned in international reports (2-3 weeks after the "scandal" here), guess that not all that many in the West give it much SERIOUS thought. But yeah, many weird, interesting angles of analysis could be speculated here, if one was so inspired to write a critical paper or dissertation.
Re: The "this is porn, so this is BAD..."
Unaware or not, most of us like to interpret things in the light of our (hidden) prejudices and motives, so taking the moral "let this be a lesson to [us] all" line is understandable too.
Still, maybe also try to see things from a more secular perspective AND NOT ponder too sadly 'bout today's sooo many "lost souls"
