Is this serious so I guess the media are encouraging people to murder and it will make you famous???? UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
It's called making money. The media does it everyday of the week. It's sick, but society must want it.
Just showing the world how pointless and out of touch with reality they are. You can tell know one at the magazine had anyone THEY cared about at the finish line in Boston that day.
I couldn't believe that they got on the bus with Willie... But you are right, all that media coverage of this, Sandy Hook, the Batman shooting do in encourage the ones that are depressed to "go out with a bang", figurately speaking. Getting on the soapbox for a minute, but open carry would, IMO, discourage a lot of these incidents.
It really is sad. These type of people should be stricken from our memories, their names never mentioned. Sure we need to understand these type of events and learn from them, but do not need to turn these wack jobs into rock stars. What's the best way to promote young and confused people to commit heinous crimes? Give them a platform and make them famous. I'm sure the hero Trayvon Martin will be on next months cover of this trash.
Rolling Stone is a hippie rag that's in the business of idol worship, which is why it's confusing when they make these crappy attempts at real journalism. That being said, Tiger Beat can put Hitler on the cover for all I care. That's why this is the greatest country in the world.
I wonder how many are paid subscribers? My wife get a lot of magazines for free that she never subscribe to. I think they are giving a lot of these magazines away because they have to show their paid advertisers some kind of circulation. Like the yellow pages that gets delivered to your house and it then goes right into the recycling bin.

I agree with you, but while I haven't read the story behind the cover, it's supposed to be about "How a popular, promising student was failed by his family, fell into radical Islam and became a monster." In my opinion that changes my reaction a bit. I don't necessarily think it's a terrible idea for everyone to look at that face for a while and do some serious thinking. I mean, look at this kid. He's obviously a good looking young man and he looks harmless enough. I suspect, though, that those young folks who are this monster's "fan club" aren't familiar with what the muslims from the Tsarnaev's part of the world are capable of. I stumbled across a website last week that contained an article written by a former member of the muslim brotherhood who is now a peace activist. In that article was a link to a video depicting atrocities committed by muslims in their "neck of the woods", so to speak. I watched it and it was all I could do to watch the entire video. I've seen a lot in my life and that was the most horrific thing I've ever seen. I wish now that I hadn't watched it because I'm having trouble getting the images out of my mind. I won't post the link on this website because there's a good chance it would permanently scar a young kid who stumbled across it and I'd hate for them to find it here. Suffice it to say that among other horrible actions it contains a fairly close-up frontal view of one of these animals using a knife to saw through a captured prisoner's throat. These animals laugh at him as he dies. That's what people from this kids part of the world - people who share his religious beliefs - are capable of. That's the type of young man whose face you're looking at when you look at that cover. Yeah, he looks like a harmless, good looking guy, right? Think again. The mindless sheep that make up this monster's "fan club" really need a wake-up call. Maybe we need a wake up call too.
