Is The Hartford Courant Gay?

Today the Hartford Courant printed this semi-homo-erotic picture on the front page in full color. It's quite beautiful, actually, even for the Hartford Courant. The story is about super-hot Pieter Van den Berg (at right) who lost his mother, a popular professor at UCONN, in a car accident last May when they were driving to his college graduation in Long Island. In this picture they are showing off their matching chests now emblazoned with his mother's initials. His father survived but was badly injured. You can read the full story here, if this picture intrigues you to do so, as it did for me.

I already searched Pieter on the myspace and came across an even hotter picture posted below (let's not talk about how creepy that is that I did that). My curious suspicions were confirmed that Pieter Van den Berg does like to party (pictured again at right), and posting this picture ensures that Van den Berg will try to kill me if we ever meet in person. He lives in Mansfield Center so its not even like thats an impossibility, but I don't seem to care. I still can't believe they put such a sexy picture on the front page and thought that it would be read any other way. These boys are out to fuck.
