Spanish prime minister's daughters pictured for the first time... looking like goths

Pictures taken of the Spanish prime minister with his wife and daughters alongside Michelle and Barack Obama have caused a stir, not least because the teenagers look like goths.

The official photos, taken at the Museum of Modern Art where the Obamas were hosting a dinner, were uploaded onto the U.S. state department's Flickr page.

Unlike the Obamas, Spanish prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has always tried to keep his daughters, Laura, 16, and Alba, 13, out of the public eye.

As a result his office raced to delete the snaps that show one of the teenage girls wearing black clothes, combat-style boots and plenty of black eyeliner.

It probably never crossed Mr Zapatero's mind that his family album photos might make his daughters icons for goths in Spain.

According to Mr Zapatero, Spanish law allows him to prevent the Spanish media from running any photographs of his daughters.

The Guardian reported that Spanish officials persuaded the state-owned Spanish news agency EFE not to distribute photographs of the two girls at the UN.

They reportedly reminded the agency that the law allowed Mr Zapatero and his wife to insist images of their underage children should not be published - even with their faces pixellated out.

However, many Spaniards got their first glimpse of the prime minister's full family as the photograph made it on to the front page of several national Spanish newspapers

Facebook joins forces with the Secret Service to tackle Obama assassination poll

The U.S. Secret Service is investigating a Facebook poll that asked whether people thought President Barack Obama should be assassinated.

The poll, posted on Facebook on the weekend, asked respondents, 'Should Obama be killed?'

The choices were: 'No', 'Maybe', 'Yes', and 'Yes if he cuts my healthcare'.

Facebook, assassination, and the Secret Service: A Facebook poll asking respondents if Barack Obama should be killed, right, has been removed

The online survey was taken off the popular social networking site quickly after company officials were alerted to its existence.

But, like any threat against the president, Secret Service agents are taking no chances.

'We are aware of it and we will take the appropriate investigative steps,' said Darrin Blackford, a Secret Service spokesman. 'We take of these things seriously.'

The question was not created by Facebook, but by an independent person using an add-on application that has been suspended from the site.

'The third-party application that enabled an individual user to create the offensive poll was brought to our attention this morning,' said Barry Schnitt, Facebook's spokesman for policy, yesterday.

Because the application was disabled, the responses to the nonscientific polls are not available.

'We're working with the U.S. Secret Service, but they'll need to provide any details of their investigation,' Schnitt said.

A developer named only as Vann has since claimed responsibility for the poll - but provided little information about himself other than he is a supporter of Obama.
