In Dolly's May 2007 issue featuring Christina Aguilera on the cover, controversy reigned supreme when a picture of a runway model's genitalia was published on page 24 in a section called Dollywood Gossip. The accompanying caption complete with arrow to the model's nether regions said "Look Closer, Eww! Not that close" and "Umm, we think you forgot something". Editor McCahon claimed that "It's a long story involving mag terms like "dyelines" and "corrupted PDFs", but we did cover the area originally, and the little spot we used somehow fell off the page just before printing and we didn't notice". Approximately 50,000 issues were pulled off the shelves from major supermarket chains. Copies were later returned to the newsstands with a sticker covering the model's nether regions. As a direct result of this error, newsagents across Australia reported a spike in sales. Although photographs of models and celebrities are often printed in various degrees of exposure, this particular photograph was the most controversial. For other uses, see May (disambiguation). ...
