there is no such thing as bad publicity. hate all you want, it's just more bang (huehuehue) for their buck as far as RS is concerned.

They're just trying to stay fresh, keeping their mag safe isn't gonna boost their sales. They've got plenty of attention and its not like people will never buy their mags again...

yes but, you don't keep porn fresh by fucking a dead body with a stick of dynamite. You just add more anal, maybe some bukkake and you're all good. Is this making sense to anybody but me?

Jesus motherfucking christ.

Can the internet have one day without all this bullshit? Thought maybe we would good now that the Trayvon hype is dying down but nope.

I wish this would just be gone but at least leave it to facebook.

Rolling stone sucks anyway. Not as much as this thread though

Oh look, people who get offended by everything are getting offended.

Sure, it may have been in slightly poor taste, but that being said, so is almost everything the media does these days. But like everything else, this doesnt effect most of the people acting so offended over it, and its precisely the reaction Rolling Stone wanted/expected.

Idk, I was board and wanted to post something yelling at somebody. There weren't many opportunities to choose from. Seemed like a good enough spot to rant. Maybe I should have held out for a better thread?

I'll go shake my fist at some skaters or something. I feel like I need to do something. Today is fairly boring.

threads like this are going to make people go out and buy the magazine to see what you are talking about. like the other guy said any publicity is good publicity because even if people are disgusted by what rolling stone did they are going to buy it to check it out

and it's not just rolling stone, either... the media is supposed to cover what people are interested in, and unfortunately a lot of people are interested in twisted fucks like Manson and Dzokhar Tsarnaiausnduwhatever

while it's not the best idea(people here in MA are kind of pissed), its a good sales move. But to be honest they could have put the BPD on the cover and run a special issue on the bombings. But to be honest, that magazine sucks dick when it comes to politics because it's just a bunch of biased bullshit called "reporting"

my only real issue with is is the way they portray him on the cover.

why exactly is he being depicted as if he's some front man of a new indie band that's coming onto the scene? It's like a glorified, sexified image. They could have just used his mug shot or something and it wouldn't have caused as much of a stir, guarantee it.

Stores refusing to sell it is lols. It's just a stupid fucking article written by some snobby bitch with a jounrnalism major or whatever trying to be edgy. It's not like its a commemorative issue about him.

Seriously, this is entirely a non-issue. People will bitch and moan, "boycott" something they didn't buy to begin with, and in a few weeks time, forget entirely and move on to the next crusade that "bothers" them.

Shut the fuck up OP and to anyone who thinks Rolling Stone has ever been conservative when it comes to controversial topics. They've had hard hitting journalism ever since the days of Hunter S. Thompson, this cover is only a reflection of that. Even when it comes to music their covers have pushed boundaries.
