Why is this more outrageous than ass cracks and big fake t i tt ies on magazine covers?
This is the perfect storm of freedom of the press, capitalism (sell more magazines), and a boycott call by people who never buy Rolling Stone. I'm outraged by violence in Somalia and refuse to go there and am also boycotting Beluga caviar.
Whining about a picture on a magazine without even knowing what's written inside is typical self-Righteous "We don't need no steenking facts as a reason to whine" BS.
Martin Richard lived 7 doors down from me. I knew him, I know his family, and in a few more months I will be seeing little Jane out in the front yard trying to get around on her prosthesis. I couldn't give two f---s what's inside.
If that's the case, I imagine those people will be sorely disappointed that within the magazine lies an actual article with words. Like you said, Rolling Stone has done good journalism in the past. And as others have noted, this isn't the first time they've gone with a provocative cover shot. Remember this one? I wasn't terribly disappointed the day this showed up in my mailbox (I had a subscription back in 95/96):
Also, it won't be every supermarket, because CVS has evidently claimed a holier-than-thou, false moral high ground and won't sell it. Reminds me of when Walmart changed the cover on In Utero. Boy, did that stop people.
The printed page now has to compete with online competitors, so it is not surprising that they would have this in mind when they choose a front cover.
That cover should help newstand sales. That is what it is supposed to do. I expect no more or less from business.
Well, if it's really their worldview that monetary profits are more important than saving innocent lives from future wannabe terrorist-celebrities, that is really godd*mned sad. I strongly agree with a previous poster who suggested that we also show images of those people who were permanently maimed by these crooked *ssholes if we're going to advertise/glorify the image of one of the *ssholes himself.
