Obama's Wandering Eyes Lead to Fallout

The parents of Mayara Rodrigues Tavares, the 17-year-old Brazilian girl at the center of the now-infamous G8 summit photo, are mad as hell at the attention their daughter's ass received from two of the world's most powerful men.

Her parents, who have been swamped with interview requests after the photo became world news, spoke with the NY Post. They said Mayara had been picked by UNICEF to join the counterpart Junior 8 forum of teenagers because she stood out as a community volunteer. She shares a single room with her parents and two younger brothers in one of Rio de Janeiro's slums known as favelas.

"If I were there, I would have boxed their ears," mom Lucia Rodrigues said. "They should be ashamed of themselves. She is really skinny and only ever wears pants. Mayara is timid and ashamed of her body. This was the first time in her life that she wore a dress, and it was borrowed from a friend in the shantytown because she doesn't own one."

"My daughter is not a model and she is not a sex symbol," father Eduardo Tavares added. "That photograph has ruined my whole family."

Ruined the whole family? Really? We would think this would be the sort of confidence boost Mayara needed.
