Sometimes things really are that black and white, especially when talking about teenagers.

Anyway, I'll probably pick up a copy too.
You buy your copy of Rolling Stone with an air-brushed portrait of a murderer. And the next time some idiot decides to pull some **** like this, knowing that no matter how malicious or murderous his actions are, or how many victims he takes with him, that he will live in eternal pop-culture infamy, just know; that one is partly on you.

I don't see it, of course I'm a guy, however I do recognize that he is a good looking a--hole.

Uh-huh.

It will be on me just like the next guy who shoots up a school or movie theater or park or... will be on all of those who refuse to accept additional gun regulations.

See how that works?

They did it absolutely on purpose and selected it from alternative choices like those I mentioned above.

It's as tasteful as somebody selling Trayvon Martin costumes this halloween.
So, they did a fascinating article about how this tiny cell got going, and it's their featured article. What cover would YOU have put on it?

I never thought this thread would last this long. CNN posts 'outrage' over the cover of Rolling Stone, and the masses go wide.

Simply don't purchase the mag, if that is your desire. Or do so, if you wish.

Any of these can be on the cover on a magazine as before internet there wouldnt be a big deal over this as print media was king.

I just do not see what the big deal is as each of these pictures are shown on the news but now print media isnt allowed?
The point is there is no reason to censor just because a few dont like it. Let consumers decide. It just a head shot.
Thing is he is attractive. Psychopaths can be good looking. It'd be nice if they were all ugly as river rats, wouldn't it?
