It's a shame when...
It's a bit of a shame that, upon noticing that there weren't any newspapers on Sproul around 2 p.m., my first thought is "Gee, they must have been stolen again. *shrug*." Maybe they just never arrived, or were really popular today, but maybe someone was so disgusted by this picture on the front page of the newspaper depicting ugly nude old men (the one in the middle might be a woman) that she stole the newspapers. I guess I can understand the feeling, but stealing newspapers still just isn't cool. (It would be ironic if, in the Daily Cal's attempt to be "more liberal" they got their newspapers stolen)
That doesn't excuse the Daily Cal, though. I feel conspicuous enough when I'm wandering around campus with my porn, and that's something people might actually want to look at. Did you really need to put this picture on the front page? Was this revenge on all of your critical readers? If you were doing a story on abortions, you wouldn't put a picture of fetus juice on the front page. If you were doing a story on roadkill, you wouldn't put a picture of a dead squirrel with its guts smeared across the pavement on the front page. Why are you putting something so horribly disguisting on the front page?
