Isn't that the whole point of a cover photo, to attract attention?

Come on, now.

Somehow I am not understanding the outrage.

Isn't there a story in the paper about the Boston bombing?

Isn't this a pic of one of the bombers?

Is this not standard?

When I see a picture of someone on the cover of a paper, to me, it means there is a story related to that picture inside. Am I missing something?

So if they had a photo of the same guy with his eyed crossed it would be OK?

I would have preferred a picture of him doing the perp walk in an orange jump suit, but that may poison the jury pool.

But it's their magazine, and I respect their right to do with it as they please.

Dr. Hook should have just bought a couple of pressure cookers, being they couldn't sing for shit anyway.

7 to 1 odds that this 'un doesn't garner one tenth the responses at AK, and they call us crazy mofo's over here?

Ho hum, that "glam" photo was everywhere in every form of media right after that little piece of sub human excrement was caught. I didn't hear any wailing and chest beating then. Methinks it is exactly a pissing contest over Rolling Stone's political activism whilst skirting the rules at AK.

They should've launched the boat he was hiding in right into Boston harbor, before filling it full of holes. I would've liked to have donated a few jerrycans full of hi test first.

I guess I had better turn in my love beads and my rose colored granny glasses...

Ha! Granny glasses.... Haven't heard that term used in years!

Another example of our superficial priorities, I suppose. Would it be acceptable if he had greasy hair, a crooked nose and warts? I expect that the story will make for interesting reading.
