One of those "blech" moments...
I mean, so this police chief's wife posed for a porn site, but why did the news report have to include a picture from that site?

Police Chief Out In Nude Wife Pix Flap

SNYDER, Okla. -- The police chief, the mayor and a councilman from a small, southwestern Oklahoma town resigned Friday, saying they were fed up with the public attention and criticism they received after the chief's wife appeared in various nude poses on a Web site and the photos began circulating around town.

"This has turned into a media circus," Chief Tod Ozmun said Friday. "I don't feel like me staying in office is going to benefit my department or my staff. This has turned into a mess. This is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous."

2. Well...she's no Joanna Angel, that's for sure.
Although personally, I couldn't care less if the police chief of my town had a porn model wife. I know people in the porn industry and they're pretty much just like everyone else.

3. LOL, I love that you get the option to "enlarge" the picture.
Blech is right!

4. The American flag is a nice touch
Draping a flag erotically about you while you pose for plus-size porn isn't desecration, right? :sarcasm:

Ahh, the mainstream media, thy name is Sensationalism.

5. OMG!
"My wife is 6-foot-3 and weighs 300 pounds," he said. "If there is somebody that thinks they can control her, have at it. I have tried for 11 years and haven't been able to."

:rofl:

Someone needs to tell the poor guy that probably has nothing to do with her size. :D

7. I don't think this is fair at all.

Goddamnit. We've got pre-teen girls starving themselves to death in order to achieve that "heroin chic" look society seems to deem 'desirable'. I don't like reading on a progressive website that a woman is "blech" because she is full figured and a normal person.

My thought is "Good for HER!" She's confident, she's comfortable with herself. That's beautiful if you ask me.

11. Thank you, Madrone.
Our society is way too hung up on
the dysfunctional " thin is in" crap that excludes
a vast majority of people.

Yep, women and men are dying to be thin,
literally.

Personally, I don't know one person who looks
like a fashion model. ( exception - large size models)

12. The reason I said "blech"
I mean, did they HAVE to include that picture?
Obviously, no.

10. To each his own, I guess.
Personally, I can't imagine why anybody'd want to see her naked, but I also can't imagine what her pictures have to do with her husband's employment.

That said, when your spouse is a public figure you do need to keep that in mind in your own actions and be above reproach. It's kinda lame, but the only real surprise is that it took this long to be an issue.
