'Cutest Couple' in Carmel HS Yearbook Has the Media, Internet Buzzing

Two boys were voted 'cutest couple' by their fellow seniors at Carmel High School in Putnam County.

A classmate posted the yearbook photo of Dylan Meehan and Brad Taylor on her blog, and it was shared more than 100,000 times in the first 24 hours, according to the Huffington Post, to whom the duo talked about their selection, their school and their relationship. 

The story's even been picked up as one of its "nice time" posts by snarky left-leaning blog Wonkette.

Chelsea Blaney, who posted the photo on Tumblr,  has also come in for her share of media attention. She posted this on Twitter yesterday:

"OFFICIAL TWEET TO ALL NEWS COMPANIES. Tonight is my senior prom. I'll respond to all messages tomorrow. Sorry for any inconvenience. xoxo"
