Anna Berglund, Hugh Hefner and Shera Bechard.

An increasing number of USA 'Geniuses' visas are being awarded, one that has caught the attention of the internet now is Shera Bechard, a buxom blonde dubbed a genius by the US government.

"Genius visas", or to give them their proper name O-1s and EB-1s, are intended for those who have "risen to the very top of the field of endeavour" and have "sustained national or international acclaim".

According to News.Com her genius is all about skin.

They have a report that reveals "Berhard was named Playboy's Miss November in 2010 and is believed to have started "Frisky Friday", the photo-sharing trend in which young women post raunchy pictures of themselves on Friday."

Does American need to import buxom blondes willing to take of their clothes and send photos by cell phone?

The government thinks so and as a bonus, she is now dating Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

"There's nothing in those regulations that requires you to be a genius," her lawyer told Reuters.

"It's quite condescending to say, 'Oh, the idiot Playboy Playmates, they don't qualify."

The Christian Post reveals "many genius visas are given out to a variety of entrepreneurs who seek to expand in the U.S. Josh Buckley, a British businessman, sold his first company at 15 for six figures, and was awarded a visa. Similarly, John Collison, a 22-year-old from Ireland, was given one after dropping out of Harvard to start a payment company, Stripe."

Should she have received one?
