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.
In May 2006, seven days after Lordi's Eurovision Song Contest 2006 win, 7 päivää featured Tomi Putaansuu without his face makeup on its cover. The band had asked not to publish unmasked members in pictures but the image caused a significant reaction among Finns, leading to over 180,000 signatures for boycotting the magazine within two days.
