Tanja Tellervo Karpela〔 〕 (''née'' Vienonen; ''previously'' Karpela and Saarela; born 22 August 1970) is a Finnish former politician and former Miss Finland (1991). She was a Member of Parliament 1999–2011〔 and served in the government of Finland as Minister of Culture from 2003 to 2007.〔 She remains, however, most well known for her colourful personal life which has often hit the headlines in the media – a former underwear model, she is a convicted drink driver and is currently on her third marriage. 〕 ==Political Career== Karpela was elected to parliament from the Electoral District of Uusimaa in 1999, representing the Centre Party.〔 She was appointed Minister of Culture in Prime Minister Anneli Jäätteenmäki's cabinet in 2003.〔 〕 After the resignation of Jäätteenmäki, Karpela went on to serve in the same post under Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen.〔 In December 2005 Karpela received a Big Brother Award from the Finnish on-line civil rights organization EFFI for proposing Internet traffic blocking software be installed in schools and libraries.〔 〕 She was also a supporter of the 2005 amendment to the Finnish Copyright Act and Penal Code, which has been nicknamed ''Lex Karpela''〔 〕 due to her acceptance of what many perceive to be a highly controversial addition to the Finnish law. In March 2010, Karpela announced that she is no longer pursuing a parliamentary career following the 2011 parliamentary elections. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tanja Karpela」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
