I don't know who has dreamier hair, this guy or shiny pony.



One of the best comments thus far:

If only someone would simply love him, he would love them back! Ladies, wont one of you teach him how to love again?

Look at those sensitive eyes. They are the eyes of a tormented and misunderstood poet.



For those with a sociopath fetish, read all about this latest cover below.

I thought it was funny because the way he looks actually does fit in with the sorts of people they put on the cover. I dont really care who they put on the cover. I dont think Ive ever bought an issue of Rolling Stone. I also dont go to them for news on crime and political issues. Does anyone?

Just a heads up...I colored their text in the spirit that they wrote that comment juan.

But that kind of kooky luvy duvy talk is evident in malkin's link though. The sociopath lovers.


e.g.

He “can blow me up with babies,”
He’s “fine as wine,”
“Soooo hot with the combination handgun-mirror selfie.”

The whole point of the cover was to show that Tsarnaev wasn't a big scary monster. He appeared to be just a regular kid, pretty good-looking one at that. The accompanying article delineates exactly how this normal kid became a monster inside.

That this sailed over the heads of the hip-shooters and trigger-mouths like an F-16 on afterburner is, alas, no surprise.

I think the caption on the cover tells it all: he was a promising kid who became someone who deserves our revulsion... but I guess most of you don't care about the "why" or stopping it from happening again...

I don't blame them. The picture and caption reads like Rolling Stone absolving him of his sins. You have to consider that they know how to set the tone with their front page, and from where I sit, they set it...his family is to blame. That's not okay.

How is saying that he "became a monster" absolving him of his sins? For that matter, if Rolling Stone magazine has the authority under any religion to absolve sins, it's news to me.

I understand that some folk would simply like to brand him a monster and basically deny that he's a human being, but I'm not sure that's the best way to look at it. Personally I don't care, I just want him dead, but I recognise the validity of enquiring into how he became the kind of person who set the Boston bombs.

I can't believe the media would use sex to exploit a tragedy.

Id actually be surprised if they stopped doing it. It'd be nice, but bad business. People complain about the stuff they do, but then most of them buy into it giving them license to do it again.

What about Ol' Willie? Man ain't exactly the poster boy for Christian virtue.

More interesting than the other folks mentioned on the cover. Saw him last month. I liked the show.
