Hell, I think you have to give Rolling Stone credit. I haven't had the inclination to discuss anything they've published for years, and neither has much of anyone else for a rather long time now, so this ginned up controversy is a master stroke. It's almost a pop culture version of the stunt The Progressive magazine pulled back in the 1970s, when they published instructions for making a hydrogen bomb and managed to get themselves hauled into federal court. If you're an old dude like me, you might remember this cover:
It's the bomb! |
The thing is, once this issue turns into fish wrap and the next issue comes, Rolling Stone will need another sensational cover subject. So let's take a poll -- what figure of outrage should RS put on its next cover?
Vote early, vote often -- it's the American way!

admittedly, i voted for myself, because its legal to do so...
It's all designed,
to blow Gino's mind,
but his mind won't really be blown,
Like the blow that will getcha
When he gets his picture
on the cover of The Rolling Stone.
