Did she drive the bus naked?

Every time that I read an article from metro.co.uk, my heart sings a little. They always seem made up, but much to my delight, are true. So when reading the block quote from this article about a girl faced with losing her bus-driving job due to nude pictures of her on the internet, know that these quotes are accurate and honest:
A newly qualified bus driver is facing the sack after it emerged that she is a well known porn star. Audrey, 24 and the reigning 'Miss Nude Belgium 2009', passed all her driving tests following a six week intensive course in the city of Liege last month [Ed. Note: Seriously? It takes six weeks to become a bus driver? So long life-long aspiration]. But soon after she began work she was called back to the head office of bus company TEC and asked to explain a series of 'interesting pictures.' She said: 'They were photos taken from my erotic performances and from my web site. 'I was hauled before the director of human resources and he asked me to choose between my erotic career and my new career on the buses. 'He told me that I wouldn't be able to take part in my nocturnal activities while also working as a bus driver. 'He said that I had to sign a form pledging that I wouldn't do any more nude pictures.' Audrey, who asked for her surname to remain private, is married with two children aged three and four. She said: 'I enjoy my erotic work, but the contracts are not worth very much. Although this work is a passion, I need to have a job which pays the bills. 'I'd always wanted to be a bus driver as I'm very sociable. I like the contact with people and I don't see why an erotic career is incompatible with my day job.' [Source: metro.co.uk].

I feel for Audrey here. She’s an artist. She doesn’t get naked and oiled up and straddle pillows for the glory, she does it for the love of art. It’s a passion. Honestly, though, this is a little ridiculous. She’s a fucking bus driver not a clown in a pediatrics ward. To tell you the truth, I’m just happy when my bus driver isn't smoking crack while driving the bus. There. That’s where my expectations of conduct end with bus drivers.
