Fat Girls Who Don't Want Their Pictures in School Paper Stole 1,000 Copies

Campus Paper Filled With 'Fat' Photo Vanishes

A group of fat girls at Farmington State College didn't want a picture of their bare stomachs to appear on the front page of the student newspaper, so they stole about 1,000 copies of the paper so their classmates wouldn't see it.

The college's student newspaper, "The Gatepost," featured a picture on the front page of a group of girls at a women's lacrosse game with their stomachs painted in support of a friend. Each girl had a different letter painted on their bare stomach. The girls are wearing hip hugger shorts and abbreviated tank tops in the picture.

After about 2,000 copies of the newspapers were distributed around the college, campus officials immediately began to notice that a large amount of copies were missing. A professor at the university and faculty adviser to the newspaper had heard the girls were disgruntled about the photo, and thought they might be at fault.

"This is the most stupid reason the paper has been stolen," he told WTOP News. One of the girls who had stolen about 130 copies turned herself in to campus police.
