Sex, Lies & Videotapes

From American Heritage Dictionary:

scan·dal (skān'dl) n.

  1. A publicized incident that brings about disgrace or offends the moral sensibilities of society: a drug scandal that forced the mayor's resignation.
  2. A person, thing, or circumstance that causes or ought to cause disgrace or outrage: a politician whose dishonesty is a scandal; considered the housing shortage a scandal.
  3. Damage to reputation or character caused by public disclosure of immoral or grossly improper behavior; disgrace.
  4. Talk that is damaging to one's character; malicious gossip.

For pinoys, of course, the word scandal has another connotation now. Here are some of those so-called pinoy "scandals":

La Salle Students Scandal
Mindoro Scandal
Dipolog Scandal
