The mayor of a small town in Oregon has been removed from office after some half-naked pictures of her surfaced on MySpace. Carmen Kontur-Gronquist supposedly posed for the pictures in her underwear on a firetruck for a contest related to fitness and a relative “posted them on MySpace in hopes it would improve the social life of the single mother.”

After the events of today, I have a feeling a lot more people will find themselves making the same decision. (more…)
