An Excuse to Link to Some Softcore Porn

I've been getting a lot of Google hits for "miss lepe." The story is that a PP city councilwoman in the city of Lepe has entered the Miss Lepe 2007 beauty pageant, and has posed for tasteful but rather revealing photographs. Here's the link to El Periodico's story, which includes one of the photos.

This is funny because a) of course the PP is the conservative party, and PP women don't normally go around posing nude for photographers and b) Lepe is the Spanish equivalent of our Polish jokes--that is, people from Lepe are supposed to be remarkably thick-witted. Just mentioning the word Lepe will normally get bad comedians a laugh out of their audience.

Well, actually, if you have to explain it then it isn't funny.

Here's a link to the other nude photos in the news around here: A woman from Galicia was in the news a few months ago when she was arrested at the Cancun airport. A few bullets were found in her suitcase, and apparently it all turned out to have been a mistake, but they kept her in jail for a few days there and it became a media cause celebre. Well, now she's posed topless for softcore trash mag Interviú, and there's some media controversy over whether the girl is a skank or not. I would say that she has a nice figure but not quite the face of a model, if you know what I mean.
