what's wrong with our idols?

guess the biggest news recently is the scandalous photos and videos of edison chen, other than the coming election of Malaysia.......
someone told me that edison chen returned to Hong Kong and organized a press conference for the incident, FINALLY.....
it wasn't difficult to search the clip in youtube, but before watching, i read the full text written somewhere else in the net, i mean the whole thing that he poured out in front of all the reporters
he expressed his apologies to his family, to the victims and their families, and also to the society of Hong Kong, he said he will complete all his job on hand, and quit the entertainment industry of Hong Kong without a time frame, TO HEAL HIMSELF AND SEARCH HIS SOUL, and he claimed that he was all the while and will continue assisting the police force in handling the case....
well since one of the ladies, Gillian also had said something in front of media regarding the incident, i watched hers as well
she said she is sorry for making such deep impacts to the society, and she felt she was so naive, innocent, and silly, and now she HAS GROWN UP
i don't know how you would look at all these words, but i feel amused, and entertained, by some childish explanation and excuses
came across an article about this issue in student lounge today, the writer complaint that fans of their idol, who is one of the victims, are all cheated, disappointed, and what's more? she said that THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE SILLY, but not the idol herself
now this is not funny, but something worth thinking seriously, i believe anyone who doesn't hate the girls initially, would never thought that the contrast of their image on screen, in film and their image in those photos, is such HUGE....
images of artists are all manipulated by the companies they belong to, but probably a lot of us have ignored, or even have forgotten this rule of entertainment industry...
artists have the role to be a good role model for their fans, something edison said he has failed to do so, think again, among all the artists we see today, how many of them really want to be that role model?or rather, how many of them are actually of that type of person?they constantly portray the so called moral values of life in the public, but in real life, are they, in anyway, know or understand any of the values?they look so perfect and mature and understanding and friendly in front of everyone, but when they are not facing us, who knows if they are actually worse than us?
life is much more boring without the entertainment industry and without all the artists, but no one ever say that it's wise to believe in blindly what an idol say or do, the impact this incident brought to the society is great, but may not be so great if all the fans could actually understand, artists are just human, and sometimes they may not be a better person than us.....
as for the press conference, what i feel really funny is that, whatever they say, will not make any effect to the incident, but it's something that they must do, what a funny rule of the entertainment world.....
i feel sorry to those who are hurt, and for those who did something seriously wrong, probably this is not the best way to create popularity.....
