The Bomber on Rolling Stone Cover.
Forums › General Discussion › The Bomber on Rolling Stone Cover.-
This is like an Internet hoax right? Boston bomber can't make rolling stone cover.

Saw that too. Rolling stone covers news. Being on the cover doesn't mean he's a rock star. Not sure why people can't see that.

Funny how people are always concerned with the surface matter. I find it much more concerning that we continue to create these terrorists by killing hundreds of thousands of civilians -- you know the ole cause and effect scenario. Why war has become an investment and our way to an economic boost rather than what it should be. This image is just a product of that machine. It's the machine we need to tinker with, not free speech/press.

Exactly. They don't break stories. Hell CNN has even blue screened fake backgrounds to make it seem as if their reporters were on the scene, from a different continent.💚Ⴚгɘɘɲʍɑɳ💚 wrote:

Uh who said it made him a rock star? Just find it surprising any magazine would put a glamour shot of him on the front page making him out to be a teen heartthrob.

I don't understand why people are always worried about the surface issues when we need to get congress to investigate steroids in football.

No. Not by me. I don't think a picture of him on the cover of rolling stone means more than that. People invented the stigma. Rolling stone can change it.💚Ⴚгɘɘɲʍɑɳ💚 wrote:

Oh and here's one source that's saying just the exact thing i said and hour ago.
Rolling Stone blasted for giving rock star treatment to accused Boston bomber
Fox News - 11 minutes ago
Rolling Stone magazine is drawing fire for putting Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on its cover, in a glam shot that critics ...Plus yours i guess.
First one on google news search... -
Oh and these so called critics should look up the word "ironic". Eitherway you look at it, most people are failing to see this as a slow news day at the moment.

Big guy? I don't think so Tim....

Sorry you lost me.

My point exactly. You have come to an ideal of what value being on the cover of Rolling Stone represents. This guy's picture was on the cover of every news paper in the country a few months back. Plus several magazines.Sorry you lost me.
The reason people noticed this is because we have attributed idols as being on the cover. Not murderers.
It's giving someone a orange every month, then randomly handing them an apple, then oranges again.
Just because its not an orange, doesn't mean it shouldn't occur. You are just too used to oranges.

On a side note did you notice how Fox News of all people used reworded versions of both of our descriptions after we posted them?
Glam shots, plus rock star.
We should write articles.

Still not sure what your point is. I could make the same arguments as you are if they had put a giant herpes infested swollen penis on the cover.
Never said they shouldn't be allowed and good for them. I personally am just surprised and find it in poor taste.

Okay. By all means. Would you mind doing so? Maybe if i actually watched you type out my arguments being applied to a STD ridden dick I'd be convinced.Still not sure what your point is. I could make the same arguments as you are if they had put a giant herpes infested swollen penis on the cover.

Or is that asking too much of your conviction to the issue?I'll stick around to see it! Lets see if you do.

What exactly would a glamour shot of a herpenis look like? I think that's the most interesting part of this thread.

This is the editors reply to the controversy.
The cover story we are publishing this week falls within the traditions of journalism and Rolling Stone's long-standing commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage of the most important political and cultural issues of our day," the magazine said. "The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens."
-
Totally valid I think. ^ people write comprehensive books on these stories, why not essays/articles? When have we ever been a country that doesn't write about every damn thing? I hope it sheds light on what sets off these types of people, because most people live in a bubble and need to hear it.

1) there's no difference between this douche bag being on the cover of time, news week, popular mechanic or rolling stone. They're all periodicals looking to sell their wares. Nothing sells like controversy & buzz. You can't say shame on one without saying shame on the others.
2) The fact that the general public let it bother them is far more disgusting than the fact that his pic appears on the cover. If people would just move on as opposed to screaming in outrage it would go away quickly & quietly.
3) asdi's tits aren't all that impressive in comparison to some of the others I've seen lately, which is why I haven't really been sharing the wealth so to say. They're not too bad in a boob montage rotation though. 👍 -
^That's code for "fuck you guys, I'm not sharing these."

Such bullshit to complain about his face on the cover. People want to know his story.
-
I face palmed when I heard the controversy over it was so huge.
