Sex bloggers in hot soup

(The Star) - Sex bloggers Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee stirred up a controversy with a Selamat Berbuka Puasagreeting uploaded to their joint Facebook page last night.
The picture depicted them eating bak kut teh and describing it as ‘wangi, enak, menyelerakan’ (fragrant, delicious, appetising).
Tan confirmed that they posted the greeting for “no reason. Just a joke, I guess”.
However, the post has earned over 500 comments, mostly chiding the couple for their insensitivity.
One user commented: “You have freedom to post whatever you want to post. But this freedom is not absolute. I have no problem with your erotica but this is too much.”
Others decried their action by calling it a “disgrace” and one “looking for glamour”, while some wondered if they knew the history of May 13.
When asked if he regretted posting it, Tan said “not yet...”.
“Yeah, in a way. I don't know. I was just curious to see how people will perceive it. It seems not everybody is on the same page as us. It is dark humour. It is just our attempt to see how it will be perceived.  It is just trying to be humorous on the matter,” he said in a phone interview with The Star Online.
To him, the unfavourable response shows that “people don’t see the humour, people are mostly angry and upset”.
As to whether he will delete the posting, Tan said he would probably take it down, but “by now, many have shared the picture.”
