Manipulation of a magazine cover

                                 

 
Here is an image of a magazine cover, I want talk something about this picture. The man that in this magazine cover is Lance Armstrong, seven-time Tour de France champion, he is wearing a blue T-shirt and “38” and “BFD” are in this shirt. We can know that this magazine’s main topic is this man and his T-shirt, in this cover it said the shirt that Armstrong wears is  not his real shirt it was digitally added to a photo. Why editors do this? I think they want use a popular athlete with a provocative image to attract people’s eye, they think Armstrong should get the change of this year’s Tour de France, they think  his age is very high for an athlete. This picture will make people that don’t know Armstrong very well think he is a dirty and bad player, but in fact he is not, I think this cover must be very popular, because people always want to know some negative news about the famous people.
