2006 Lordi controversy
In May 2006 7 päivää caused a controversy by printing on its front cover a picture of Tomi Putaansuu, the lead singer of the band Lordi without his face make-up on, even though the band had requested – after winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 – that no pictures of unmasked band members be published. The picture caused a huge reaction among Finns, and in merely two days over 180,000 Finns had signed a pledge to boycott the magazine.[5] Some advertisers even withdrew their contracts with 7 päivää because of the event.[6] The magazine quickly apologized for the picture.[7] Katso also published some pictures, too, but it did not gain so much attention.
