Rolling Stone: Officially, completely irrelevant.

Oh my god. I just can’t take it anymore.

this has to be fake. it has to be. if it isn’t i’m moving to a commune where i will grow all my own food.

UPDATE: its fucking real. lets go through this.

• look. at. those. headlines.
• Jay Leno? Lady Gaga? on the same cover? of a magazine that used to give a damn? are you fucking serious? have you totally sold out? you have totally sold out.
• new celebrity gurus? what the fuck? if i wanted Us Weekly i’d pick that up instead.
• a cigarette that might not kill you is a brilliant headline for a magazine that has Evil Robot Bernadette Peters on the front of it.
• The 90’s Revival. really, Rolling Stone? i bet you talk about Nirvana. no, go on! i’ll wait.
• Dave Matthews.
• Recession Drugs? so you mean MORE pot? this isn’t as much a list of headlines as it is just a string of nouns, is it? this entire cover was kept locked in a drawer marked ‘wouldnt it be funny if…’ and then you guys just ran out of ideas.
• The Girl Who Will Save MTV. does anybody even watch MTV anymore? people who care about eyebrows and car size do. why are you trying to sell a magazine to them?
• and finally. LA’s punk rock gym. further cementing the fact that you’ve gone from “timeless publication” to “Vh1: The Magazine”.

its fucking sad. Rolling Stone used to actually be a GOOD READ.
