Carolina Panther Cheerleaders Set the Web Ablaze

Stan Choe and Michelle Crouch write in the (Bradenton, Florida) HeraldToday.com:

Take cheerleaders -- dude, two of them! -- reports of sex and bathroom fights, and the raving imaginations of heterosexual guys, and you get a Monday morning with little work done.

In work cubicles around Charlotte and across the country, the lascivious tale of the arrest of two Carolina Panthers cheerleaders was catapulted from water-cooler talk to Internet phenomenon.

The story ranked among the top three most-viewed in charlotte.com's nine-year history. On ESPN.com, more people e-mailed it to friends Monday than any other story. The Panthers' Web site, which features photos of its cheerleaders, bent under so many hits that it was shut down. Even Jay Leno joked about the women on "The Tonight Show."

It all began early Sunday when customers at a Tampa nightclub complained that the two cheerleaders were engaged in sexual activity in a bathroom stall, according to police. A fight followed and police arrested the two women.
