Regarding Dzhohkar Tsarnaev on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine [View all]

Last edited Wed Jul 17, 2013, 10:49 AM - Edit history (1)

If you haven't heard already, Dzhohkar Tsarnaev is on the cover of the newest Rolling Stone looking like Jim Morrison's little brother after a fight with a Flowbee. Apparently, lots and lots and lots of people are all WHAAARGARBLE over this, because the cover of Stone is for celebrities and rock stars and the like.

For the record, and in my own humble opinion:

1. I don't care. Got bigger things to worry about;

2. If Tsarnaev's face looked like the back of an old man's balls and they put him on the cover, no one would be complaining;

3. The fact that Matt Taibbi writes for Stone means newsmakers (like Manson once upon a time, and G.W. Bush in 2009) are allowed on the cover; and,

4. I DON'T CARE. Got bigger things to worry about.

Definitely buying a copy, though. It'll fit perfectly over my dartboard.
