Yes, they do owe him an apology.
First thing they teach you in photojournalism class: It's unethical to fark around with the photos.

Who is behind Outside Magazine, anyway? I started receiving it a few months back for no apparent reason. Never paid for a subscription and, to be honest, never would. (It's not that great.) So, does every cyclist in America receive a comp copy every month?

Lance and Outside mag had a beautiful relationship.... one of them cheated on the other one. Can you blame him for being mad... or are you old divorced dudes going to defend the Dirtbags decision?

I don't have an opinion about LA one way or the other, but what they did there was just wrong.

Aye. This has just happened to myself and my wife, at the same time. F-ing Rolling Stone magazine, which I loathe. We now get two copies of every issue. Hooray.

Put your personal feelings about LA aside, it's a dirtbag move by Outside any way you slice it.

Serious question here, how is this any different that every women's magazine that Photoshops out wrinkles, freckles, slims down waistlines, etc... then uses that to convince girls / women that women should look like that? I do side with LA on this, but I also think it's nothing new and is even more disturbing when it is done to alter someone's perception of what normal looks like. Every thing else in this world has a disclaimer, why shouldn't magazines have to disclose what they did to augment a picture in a magazine?

It's an old publishing trick: Buy somebody else's mailing list (PBK, Jenson, etc.) and send everybody on the list a free subscription, then claim the increased circulation and jack up your advertising rates. Dirtbag kind of behavior.
I don't have an opinion about LA one way or the other, but what they did there was just wrong.

I remember reading a magazine article -- I think it was in "Outside" -- about minimalist camping entitled, "The Dirtbag Manifesto".
Strange coincidence.
