Uruguay Minister Posts Photos of Her Taking Shower on FaceBook
A minister of Uruguay caused a major controversy at home after publishing photos of herself under the shower on her FaceBook page. The minister, Daisy Tourne, wrote a caption above the photo saying: “there’s nothing more natural than a woman in the shower.”
Although I am not sure whether there is nothing more natural than that, I am pretty sure that many male readers will agree with me that it is most certainly a very pleasant thing to see.
“I think it’s in very bad taste that the minister exposes herself so intimately,” former Vice President Luis Hierro Lopez told El Pais. “Ministers have to be more austere, modest — above all the Minister of the Interior.”
Sadly for Lopez but luckily for Tourne, prominent members of her party have no problem with her publishing the photos. Ruling party lawmaker Victor Semproni backed Ms Tourne, commenting below the picture: “I’m thinking about taking a photo of myself in the shower, but a full body shot.”
Those who agreed with me in the second paragraph will also, I expect, agree with me when I say that “a full body shot” of Mr. Semproni is slightly less enjoyable than the Tourne photos.
Interestingly enough, many Uruguayans believe that moral values are being destroyed in their country. One wonders why that is. Hmm…
And so the insanity continues: under the name of ‘natural behavior,’ we’re seeing increasingly more indecent behavior on display.

Having checked Google Images for other images of Minister Daisy Tourne, I am prepared to say that while a Facebook image of the lady in her shower does not destroy moral values in Uruguay, it might place aesthetic values under serious stress.
David,
As we all know, aestethic values are more important; after all, they are universal.
