You know, we're starting to get tired of this whole "young ladies like that Hannah Montana kid getting caught with risque pictures of themselves on the Internet" thing. (Woah, that needs a shorter name. "Facebook Fatigue"?) It ain't the pictures we're complaining about, mind you; it's the part where the youngsters apologize for their transgressions -- and ride their apologies all the way to the bank. Funny the first time, but seriously, come on!
Which is what makes 18-year old Laura Pye so refreshing. She's Britain's youngest town councilwoman, elected on a promise not to act like a drunken yob, and currently all over the Internets in her underwear and stuff. And... she's totally unrepentant!
"I may be a councillor but I am still me. I will still go out and get drunk on a Saturday night.
"There are some really silly photos of me on the websites doing 19-year-old, drunken, Saturday-night-out stuff.
"When I got elected I made a very big thing of being young and of promoting a better image of being young. But I don't think I have contradicted myself by running on a youth ticket and then appearing in these photos. It was just a bit of a laugh.
"At the end of the day I am not vandalising. I am not smoking anything I shouldn't. I am not doing anything illegal. I am not stealing.
"I take my council work very seriously and I always show-up fully clothed.
You know, we're pretty sure that we've never heard any politician use that particular phrase. Or have to.
And for that, Laura Pye is our Crush of the Week.
