Finally! A day without Edison Chen’s scandal in the top news (in HK anyway). I would like to take an entry to highlight some of the “by-products” that show the extent of the scandal.
Note: The scandal even makes headlines on one of the 10 most influential newspaper of the world, Neue Zurcher Zeitung.
Parodies were made upon the scandal
Chen was accompanied by police officers on his way to his press conference. The amount of officers would make one think the President was passing by
Coming to WE tv, “High School Confidential” stars 12 girls and it’s all about their four-year high school lives. Apparently one was pregnant, one was diagnosed with a brain tumor, one was anorexic…etc…
Why only girls anyway? As if they assume high school boys problems aren’t “interesting” enough. What about that fat kid? That nerd? That closeted gay guy? Hmmmm maybe that’s what they are shooting now. After this HSC there’ll be an HSC- Boys Only edition
So who might watch this?
1) Parents - Apparently the creator of the show is also a mother, so it’s targeting audience like herself
2) High School students- As they can relate most
What about the others? I don’t think the show would be able to draw a huge amount of audience from other groups. My first reaction to this was “This is totally high school”
High School Confidential premieres Monday March 10 at 10/9c on WE TV
