Time Travel's Not Possible, Say Scientists

Lauri Apple · 07/24/11 04:04PM

A team of physicists has determined that we'll never, ever be able to visit bygone eras, because nothing can travel faster than the speed of light—just like Albert Einstein said. Guess you'll never get to tackle Gavrilo Princip and thwart World War I or make out with Clark Gable after all.

The 24 hour news cycle affects everyone differently, and horribly. A television reporter in Hong Kong has resigned after he was caught committing self-love on the top tier of a double decker bus. Former Asia Television journo Chiu Yu Kit admitted to the act in court, but explained that he was merely trying to "ease his stress" when an off-duty cop caught sight of him standing up on a seat facing the window and taking in the local color while taking care of himself.

Hey, stuff is still happening with that big Hong Kong Sex Scandal, according to various hazily substantiated postings across the Internet! When we last checked in on Edison Chen, the actor and star of the scandal, he had decided to take some time off to do charity work and recover from the fallout. Turns out that time off involved a trip to the US, a failed attempt to get his mob-connected girlfriend to marry him, and a short-lived stint in rehab for sex addiction. Police now suspect he may have leaked all those pictures himself [via Radar]. So many twists and turns! This is as good a time as any to toss out a few more of those scandalous, too-hot-for-the-Times pictures, which we have edited down to a respectable R-rating. Here's hoping Chen does some more stuff so we can use up the rest of these things!

The Too-Hot-For-The-Times Hong Kong Sex Scandal Photos

Hamilton Nolan · 02/13/08 10:48AM

The Times enlightens the bourgeoisie this morning about the sexy sex scandal that's been rocking Hong Kong for the past couple of weeks. The players: Edison Chen, a movie star (who was in The Grudge 2, among other things); Gillian Chung, a teeny-bop pop star who's been in ads for Disneyland over there; Cecilia Cheung and Bobo Chan, two other singer/ acress stars; and several other lesser stars/ regular girls. Summary: Somehow Edison's collection of pictures of himself sexing up the girls was leaked onto the Internet, and now the country is going crazy, with the scandal dominating the celebrity media while the government arrests bloggers who post the pictures. It's the equivalent of a huge sex scandal involving Kelly Clarkson and Jimmy Fallon, or something. More importantly, we have some of the pictures, since the Times doesn't. Pics— edited down to an R rating, which was not easy— and servicey links to the uncensored versions for those of you who want to investigate this important journalistic matter further, after the jump.
