Jun 1 - s*xy Photo of pretty athlete create unwanted attention (with pictures)
Allison Stokke is one of the top high school pole vaulters in America.
The California state champion has broken five national records.
But in cyberspace, people think of the 18-year-old from Norwalk very differently, because of one misleading photo.
The shot, explains Early Show co-anchor Hannah Storm, was taken at a track meet and posted on a sports blog. It’s made Stokke the latest Internet “it” girl.
In less than a month, a virtual slideshow of still photos has taken her image around the world.
Search Stokke’s name on Yahoo and you’ll get more than 180,000 results.
Fans have launched a MySpace page for Stokke. An amateur video from Stokke’s past posted on YouTube has been viewed 225,000 times, and counting
The problem is that all this attention is unwanted, and out of control. Reactions on the blogosphere include lewd comments and troubling content.
