But Dzhokhar has those dreamy eyes and that boy-band hair.

Well, we’re definitely working with the left side of the Bell curve when discussing that mag and its readers.

Not a surprise... Fox, CNN, MSNBC all these company’s do the same as Rolling Stones it’s called sensationalization of the current events. Having a look at mainstream media outlets, there is no way a logical person could dispute this claim.

Exactly! RS is setting a trap. It will be Zimmerman. Oh RS management think they are so clever. In reality they are just typical, screwball leftists...always have been, always will be.

I heard that Carnie Wilson (Beach Boys’ daughter and Wilson Phillips singer) went off on The View (?) today about the cover. Guess she didn’t get the tweet that Hollyweird was for this fiasco.
