Gawk at Allison Stokke While You Sip Your Morning Coffee


When we last mentioned the saga of high school pole vaulter Allison Stokke, we noted that she was on the front page of the Washington Post because of the popularity of her pictures on the internet.

But if you really love those pictures, you don't have to settle for seeing them in the newspaper. Sports by Brooks notes that the Orange County Register is both reporting on the "unwanted attention" surrounding Stokke and selling pictures of her.

You can go the dignified route and buy your Stokke pictures in framed mahogany for $215, or you can get a picture of her on a mouse pad (which, I guess, eliminates the need to surf the web looking for pictures of her) for $14.95. But the best choice is probably the $16.95 mug. Nothing says class like drinking out of a cup with a high school pole vaulter's picture on it.
