You can say what you want about South East Asia’s biggest outdoor sitting bronze English-language newspaper the South China Morning Post, and many people do.
But one thing it doesn’t do is rely on breasts to sell copy.
The local newspapers, on the other hand, are not a monopoly and therefore in strong competition with each other. They need at least one breast per front page, every day of the week, to move their merchandise.
It is by now pretty much impossible for the press to get more mileage out of the Edison Chen and the Bonkstresses saga without looking like money-grubbing exploiters of the female shape. The local media must therefore be thanking on their knees the “serial killer of South Asian appearance” who single-handedly brought the breast back to the front page by strangling women for pocket-money.
Now every front page is bursting with undulating flesh and plunging cleavages again, and the fact that their owners are
1. Prostitutes and
2. Murdered,
makes it even more tantalizing. Apparently a man has been arrested, so unless he’s innocent or a new killer strikes, the local papers will have to resort to boring old photos of jumping suicides and meat-cleaver hacked corpses again.
All we can hope for is that other celebrities have been filming each other while engaging in “sex acts” or murder, and that there are still computer technicians with social conscience who will step forward with the evidence.
