  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Does Rolling Stone’s latest cover, featuring Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, go too far?

To me, THIS is news:

All Rolling Stones did was to try and be a fear monger, making everyone question if the guy standing next to you could be the next terrorist, and/or showing a cute, innocent face and getting people to sympathize with him.

Either way, Rolling Stone is NOT what I would consider in the forefront of national news, and should stick to their celebrity/music star fluff and leave the big stuff to real news companies.

The ironic thing is that if he wasn't somewhat good looking, people would not have thought that appearing on a journal cover was glorifying him. /it would have just been a picture of a monster. But because people don't want their villians to be physically appealing, his pic creates an uncomfortable reaction.
 
I have to feel for the victims and wonder how it affects them. I think the magazine cover was in bad taste, but bad taste is the norm these days. Shock and outrage sells. I will not be buying the issue, but I'm sure that many others will rabidly run to the newstand to buy a copy.
 
I must admit, I'll probably buy a copy of this issue just to masturbate furiously over the cover of it until it becomes unrecognizable. *|*

But seriously, I choose not read Rolling Stone for the same reason I choose not to watch news programs on television: they regularly sensationalize the types of behavior that I find myself opposed to.

When I want to hear terrible news, I listen to office gossip near the water cooler. When I want to be amused, I check my news feed on Facebook. When I want to be happy, I lock myself in my room with a good book and a 13" x 9" pan's worth of galaktoboureko.

That is all.

Galaktobureko (Greek: γαλακτομπούρεκο) is a Greek dessert of semolina-based custard in phyllo. It may be made in a pan, with phyllo layered on top and underneath, or rolled into individual servings (often approximately 10 cm long). It is served or coated with a clear, sweet syrup. The custard may be flavored with lemon, orange or rose.

Unlike mille-feuille, which it otherwise resembles, the custard is baked with the pastry, not added afterwards.

I wouldn't want this cover on the front page.
Prefer the bomber pic.

Yes, if the bomber looks like bin laden, no one would complain about the cover.
 
I don't understand the controversy. That's what he looks like. It's not Tiger Beat magazine. They call him a monster on the cover.
 
^ Oh wow. Dude, you just used "noblesse oblige!" ..| ;)
 
No, I don't think the cover went too far. An ordinary guy was converted into radical thinking by his family, friends, etc. If it happened to him, then to who else will this happen? That's my interpretation.
 
I'm more disturbed by the words that accompany the photo.
The man is a monster and it's not the fault of others.
 
The magazine was going for publicity.
I got it.


Show the Boston bomber as a young Bob Dylan was my take on things.

People are formed inside vacuums? No, I think we learn all of our shitty behaviors from our culture. Those that have gone before us. Everything from racism to not squatting properly is trained into us. He certainly did learn his shit behavior from somewhere else. Just like a inner-city delinquent learns to be 'gangsta' or a red-neck hick learn to be a racist.

Now if he was unfeeling and psychotic then perhaps you could say he was born that way.
 
Short answer: no.

The point of the article is that anyone can be a terrorist without being suspected, regardless of his appearance. Any Alfred Hitchcock fans out there? One of his recurring themes is that things are not always what they seem. The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has appeared to be "one of us" has made him even more insidious. I haven't found any glorification in the article. If someone has, please share.

Anyone ever heard of Matt Taibbi? Perhaps you should.
 
Besides Chaka Khan never being on the cover....the most disturbing thing for me about this cover and the back story is how many "fans" he has...and how many people think he is "cute". I have a decent capacity for understanding but when someone knows what he did and all they can think of is how "cute" he is I cannot wrap my mind around it...the only thing I can come up with is the people who think he is cute might be sociopaths or psychopaths. In my playbook...when you murder innocent people and especially a child...you are no longer "cute" by any standard.

It was the same way with the mass murderer I worked with,...everyone thought he was "cute" before we all found out what he did but I knew he was a fucking creep and called him on it from the moment I met him...he made me feel violently physically ill on more than one occasion and also my skin would crawl around him...and I guess I understood people choosing looks over substance since it is second nature for most people anyway and because they just didn't know he was a creep but AFTERWARD when they STILL said it..after they knew what he did....I had a negative reaction to the people who said that and pretty much distanced myself from them. They became as creepy as he was in my opinion.
 
Well, how do I spell America--"Freedom of Speech" of course yet I can't help but think the "Rolling Stone Magazine" cover is indeed in poor taste. Did "Rolling Stone Magazine" hope to increase sales by being controversial--Well if they did they were very wrong.

Summed up succinctly and eloquently.

I assume the baying mob would have found a mug-shot acceptable?
