Stealing campus newspapers b/c they looked fat

To Chris Calzolaio, junior and sports editor of The Gatepost student newspaper at Framingham State College, it was the perfect picture for the April 27 edition. The photo showed seven female students in the stands at a lacrosse game with their stomachs painted to spell a player's name.

But the girls in the photo did not think so. Over half of the 2,000 copies of the edition disappeared soon after the paper was distributed across campus.

Usually, the campus newspaper would get swiped because of a controversial editorial or cartoon, but because they looked kinda fat in the picture?

The newspaper had to spend an additional $600 to print 500 more copies. Editor Megan Turner wants the culprits to pay for it.

If you don't want people looking at your belly, don't write on it!
