Edison Chen Questioned By Police For 10 Hours

Love the last three paragraphs of this one!

The newspaper reported that pirate versions of the Paul Frank underwear that a woman, purported to be Bobo Chan (陳文媛), wore in some of the sex photos have been selling well. A pirate version costs around HK$20, while a genuine version costs around $300.

The newspaper also reported that fishnet lingerie similar to that worn by a woman, purported to be Gillian Chung (鍾欣桐), in some of the sex photos has been selling well at $500.

The newspaper reported that Be@rbrick products seen next to Edison's bed in some of the sex photos have become very popular and are being displayed in prime positions at many stores in a Guangzhou shopping centre.
