lotta little teenage groupies

They shouldn't glamorize this guy. This is totally different than Hitler or the Ayatollah. They were already famous and their goal certainly wasnt media attention. Putting this guy on the front page of your maagazine, when the ONLY reason he is there is for committing domestic terrorism, just encourages copycats with no lives to do the same so that they can be famous and get on a magazine.

It's gross and the next time a bombing happens someone should call rolling stone out for this nonsense. Like I said I already cancelled my subscription. If this type of douchebaggery isn't profitable, the will stop doing it.

I don't read Rolling Stone because it sucked prior to this cover. For decades, in fact.

They're just trying to get some interest in their crap mag. Seems to be working.

[Charai]

I kind of wish another magazine had the balls to make their cover "Buy this magazine to support terrorism" with a big ass arrow pointing to the left. Only distribute it at newstands that will place it to the right of rolling stone.

Yeah, this guy was already famous, so that argument makes no sense. And what makes you believe they did this for media attention? That is like saying Bin Laden arranged 9/11 because without explosions, 3000 people dying wouldn't make the news.

I have a feeling this is just another meaningless, stupid distraction, utterly pointless beyond acting as a sort of pressure release valve. There is no controversy here - it is a picture that has been seen literally hundreds of thousands of times, of a man who has had face in the news for God knows how many man hours. Just people wanting to be pissed about something, and apparently a picture of a face is just the thing.

We better not show pictures of anybody bad - wouldn't want to inspire copycats. Uh, what?

I prefer my media to give me the information and allow me to interpret it as I choose. Not to shield me from this guys silky smooth locks because somebody, somewhere, might form an erroneous opinion.

This is much ado about nothing.

yes let's turn bad people into voldemort so we soon forget who they were an what they did and they become semi-mythical legends we use to scare children at night.


that's how we learn from the past.
