Chinese U Newspaper? Porn?? (edited)

I have to say I haven't read the newsletter, I have just heard about its contents on the news, so if I get anything wrong, please tell me.

It didn't enrage me like some other CU graduates... While I don't think the content is appropriate for a student newspaper, I can understand why they would include such stuff and then refused to apologize.

The media in HK is like "thief shouting for thief". Newspaper who's got much more "perverted" content than the newsletter said the content of the student newspaper was "perverted"...

Added comment:
(My further thoughts AFTER ACTUALLY reading the articles) I think the questionnaire design is not that much of a problem, though I don't like the wordings, I think if the wordings are put in the "written" form, it'll be more acceptable. However, what on earth did the student newspaper become? A "Mrs. B Mailbox"??? And those letters sound fake as well... and the worst of all, it's not done in an very good style, I think a discussion on sex can be done well, NOT in this way... Some of the articles (on the Mingpao link) are acceptable in a student newspaper, but not all. I agree the line is difficult to define.

The link is still there? Not deleted yet? I thought it was classified as porn?

What do you think? Is it porn?

條link是

驟眼看來,這像是報紙的風月版,大學會有這種東西出版本來也不是奇事,我在意的是情色版在學生報出現是否有問題....

不過,條link裡面卻找不到好像是被批評焦點的問卷

I think this is definitely NOT appropriate for a student newspaper. I think with modified wordings and style, (e.g. more formal wordings) it may be more like a Cosmopolitan article... but still not sth I expect from a student newspaper... (esp those Q & A) hmm, and it's definitely not what they say in the news, I don't think they're exploring these in a detached way.
