The "Fab-Five Cheerleaders"

The Fab Five Cheerleaders are a group of cheerleaders from McKinney North High School in Texas. They became famous in January 2007 for risqué photos posted to MySpace.Com. NewsWeeks reported that, "The pictures posted on MySpace.com looked like the latest installment of Girls Gone Wild. In them, cheerleaders from McKinney North High School in Texas exhibited all variety of bawdy behavior. One shot showed a bikini-clad girl sharing a bottle of booze with a friend. Another featured a cheerleader and several other girls in risqué poses offering glimpses of their panties. But the most infamous photo of all was taken in a Condoms To Go store. Five smiling cheerleaders dressed in uniform posed with large candles shaped like penises. At least one of them appeared to be simulating fellatio."
