Rather Disturbing News...

18/7/2013

I’m sure many of you by now have heard about the upcoming controversial issue of Rolling Stone Magazine that will be hitting the newsstands on August 3. As an American and as a writer I fully support the First Amendment for Freedom of Speech.

However, this magazine is known for promoting celebrities and other famous people that are not known as terrorist. By putting the image of Mr. Tsarnaev seems to glorify being a terrorist. I know that I am not the only one thinking this way regarding the image of choice.

I do wonder why those that are in charge of putting this magazine together did not instead choose an image of some of those wonderful first responders to this incident. Or an image of some of those that lost their lives because of this man and his brother. It would seem that choosing a photo along those lines instead of the image of a person deemed a terrorist would have been a much better thing to do.

There are places in Boston and the surrounding area that will not have the August issue of Rolling Stone Magazine available for purchase due to their choice of cover image. The Boston City Mayor wrote a wonderful to the point letter to the publisher of the magazine.

If you are interested in the stores that are not going to be carrying the issue then click HERE or if you would like to see an article from WCVB Channel 5 Boston click HERE.

What are your thoughts on this subject? And please if you post a response be respectful of others and do not use colorful language. Thank you.

What sucks is that the news keeps flashing that cover and the cover is the main problem! That's the part he looks like a Rock Star pin up boy!
