SCMP promises “shocking allegations” involving a man named Chen

Edison Chen, whose sexual escapades made him an Internet sensation last year, gave testimony in a Vancouver courtroom yesterday for a Hong Kong trial over photos that were taken from a stolen laptop and posted online.

Here’s how the South China Morning Post presented the news on its front page yesterday:

Unfortunately for celebrity gossip-mongers, the “shocking allegations” trumpeted in the headline below Edison’s photo were made in a different Chen case, the corruption trial of former Taiwan president Chen Shui-bian.

Just a happy coincidence of page-layout, or a ploy to sell more papers?
