5) Chu Mei Feng

In a tale worthy of a House of Cards story line, Chu Mei Feng, a Taiwanese politician had a sex tape released of her and her married lover Tseng Chung-Ming by the act of a jealous former friend. The friend in question was Kuo Yu-ling, who installed a pinhole camera in Chu’s bedroom that recorded the affair she had with the already married Tseng.

Our first question is what is the point of framing a picture if you are NOT going to hang it up?

The tape was eventually sold to Taiwanese tabloids and even spawned a VCD (Video CD popularly used in Asia) that the Taiwanese public began buying like hot cakes.

Even better than this type of “Hot” Cake.

This resulted in Chu resigning from her post as head of the Hsinchu Municipal Cultural Affairs Department. I guess when the job titled included “affairs” Chu took it quite literally.

However eventually when the scandal died down, Chu re-emerged into the public sector as am anchor for Macau Asia Satellite Television and even published a biography.

Hopefully an Anchorman esque movie will be in her future down the line.

Her Linda Trip type friend was not as lucky and rightfully so. Although we don’t necessarily condone the infidelity practiced by Chu, we definitely do not support Kuo’s huge invasion of privacy and trust. And neither did the Taiwanese courts who sentenced Kuo to four years for violating privacy, morality, and theft and forgery laws.
