N&R on "The Office"

The season premiere of The Office may have featured a piece of the News & Record.

In an episode in which the characters try to lose weight as part of a company contest, Michael Scott (Steve Carell) enters the office conference room in a fat suit. As a motivational tool, he pins five photos of overweight people/things: the fat Elvis, the Sta-Puff Marshmallow Man, Jabba the Hut, Big Momma and a photo of two huge guys on mini-motorcycles like the Shriners ride in parades.

Some of us think that John Page took that photo of the McCrary/McGuire twins in 1970. (It ran in the N&R and Life magazine.)

Almost immediate update: That's not Page's photo. It was a copy of the style of the above.
