Sex Scandals: No Fame but Shame!

Recently I saw some sex video scandals courtesy of a friend. The videos really shocked me. For some who’s engulfed with bodily lust and filthy minds, the videos are undoubtedly entertaining. I saw couples having the most intimate moments of their lives being captured on videos and up-close. The faces, private body parts, the myriad of expressions and the peculiar hums and swish, I witnessed everything. Caught red handed, with convincing video evidence there’s no doubt I can identify them if I bump into their faces.

I’m talking of real people here. Real events of real lives. Sex Scandals are just about everywhere- tiangges, dvd/vcd stands, cellphones and internet. They’re very accessible and yet there are still aspiring actors and actresses making scandals for themselves and the consuming public. Morals have been really stretched to the point of breakage.

Personally while I do feel that the characters of every scandal are victims of hard censure and enormous humiliation, I can't help but put my blame to them as the principal suspects of this filthy unnamed crime. Everybody likes to preserve good memories. We like capturing important events of our lives. The cameras are the mechanisms we utilize to record our memories. But have we gone too far from simple usage to excessive abuse of these devices at the expense of others and of ourselves? There are memories that are better recorded only in the hearts and minds of those who share them to the exclusion of all others. Making love for instance is so delicate to be captured on videos. There is a very great risk that sex videos will fall in the hands of people who find joy in putting others to disgrace for shimmering gold and even for just a few pesos. Given all the sex videos on the loose (Hayden-Katrina Scandal), these should be enough, hopefully, to deter all those others for just even thinking of staging their intimate moments in front of the camera lens.

On one hand, proper caution should be exercised by every couple against camera men/women rummaging the streets, the hotels, motels, even boarding houses in search for new porn stars for their next sexy films. With the advent of spy cameras as small as a match box, you better activate your James Bond/ Charlie’s Angels’ detective side. Otherwise you’ll be starring in your own general patronage blockbuster movie, and contrary to a real celebrity, there's no fame but shame!
