Mayor takes Sophie home to bed

IN his quest to rid the town of a naked poster of Sophie Dahl, the Mayor of Ballina has made the ultimate sacrifice — and taken the supermodel to his bed.

The large poster showed a naked Sophie advertising Opium perfume as part of a controversial window display at Ward’s pharmacy in the heart of the town.

Independent mayor Ray Collins said he was inundated with calls from concerned citizens who pleaded with him to get Sophie covered.
