Glorious. Mockery is the best disinfectant and the best medicine. As Twitchy has extensively reported, Rolling Stone magazine has rightly faced fierce backlash over its terror-glorifying cover of the Boston bombing suspect. Actor James Woods and Disturbed front man David Draiman won the day with their epic and righteous rants. Twitter users used the hashtag #BoycottRollingStone to voice their utter disgust and it worked. Many retail outlets have confirmed they will not stock the issue on their shelves.
And now givers on Twitter are graciously aiding the increasingly irrelevant magazine with some suggestions for future covers. Take it away, Twitter!
