News flash: She's 18. That makes her, as they say, barely legal.
We're both relieved and a little embarrassed. Relieved to find out that the hot-as-hell pole vaulter we've lusted for is 18. A little embarrassed to find out she was only in high school when the famous picture of her at a track meet was snapped.
The Washington Post has an article on Allison Stokke's Internet fame, which apparently is something she never really wanted. We first saw her on Goldy's World. But according to the WaPo, the picture may have first appeared on WithLeather.

Well, now it seems the whole thing has ignited a debate on the "morals" of posting the picture in the first place. We'll be the first to admit that our moral compass is set a little loose but we think there's some people out there who need to get a grip.
The picture was taken in a public place; it's not lewd, suggestive or otherwise improper. What you're really talking about is trying to police people's thoughts and speech. That's dangerous.
We can appreciate those who might sympathize with Allison and her family but to think that bloggers should hold themselves accountable for her unwanted fame is a little silly and sooo last century.

I do feel bad for her that her picture has been used for things that she would probably not like. However, as an athlete, your picture is going to be taken. I think she should roll with it, and look to Amanda Beard as an example. She's comfortable with her looks and is still winning Olympic medals.
