A B.C. mayor is reeling and red-faced as private photos of her, wearing nothing but a ceremonial medal, sweep through her town.
Sporting a broad, happy smile, her chain of office, and nothing else in the photo — Houston, B.C., Mayor Sharon Smith says she’s mortified that somehow the picture was made public and circulated around Houston — population 4,300. The 48-year-old mother of three claims the photo was stolen from her home computer at the beginning of November — possibly during a house party her kids threw.
"Wow! Is that your Mom?"
"Yeah! Those are her boobs!" |
She added the naked truth is the pictures were taken during a private moment with her husband and that she is hurt they’ve become the focus of newspaper articles and gossip. "I’m disappointed that the stories seem to focus on what the pictures are instead of that it was a theft from my home," she said. "Our family are the ones who are the victims here."
| "My boobs are beside the point!" |
RCMP Sgt. Dave Fenson said it’s believed someone with access to the Smith’s home computer stole the photos, but that it’s not a break-and-enter. The incident is under investigation. University of Calgary law professor Christopher Levy said there are possible legal ramifications to downloading pictures off of someone else’s computer, including charges of mischief and electricity theft. "To cause a computer to perform an unauthorized function is a crime of mischief under the Criminal Code," he droned said. "To be an invited guest in someone’s house is not necessarily to be an invited guest to use their computer."
| "Cheeze. I invited you over for a swim and a beer, not to steal my Mom's nekkid pictures!" |
He also said causing the computer to function requires electricity not owned by guests.
Levy said there could be non-legal issues as to whether Smith waived her right to privacy by having the photos on her computer.
| What part about possessive pronouns don't you get? |
"If there’s a moral to all this, it would be to not take such pictures and, furthermore, not to install them on your computer," Levy said.
| "So stop that unseemly frivolty and mirth! And don't let me catch you getting nekkid when you have sex, either..." |
One former town councillor called Smith’s behaviour a "catastrophic error in judgment" — demanding she resign and adding Smith should have apologized to residents.
| Oh, you shuddup, too. Who the hell appointed you Cotton Mather? |
Nonsense, Smith says.
"My husband asked for a specific picture because he was very proud of the fact that I was mayor and that was what it was intended for. No disgrace to the office was intended," she said.
| "He just likes my titties. We have a license, so he can do that." |
"We made sure that we were not infringing on anyone else. It was a private moment and that’s all it was."
Bwhahahahaha!!! |
