1. Why is this trollop baguette on the cover of Rolling Stone?
Any reason?

I mean, it's been LONG established that RS is nothing but a corporate load depository (with occasional political insight) trying to be relevant and failing miserably.

But we're putting worthless humans on what was once a coveted cover now instead of merely worthless musicians?

3. A fellow DUer mentioned the move to New York in one of my other R.S. posts...
...that really was a major turning point. When Jann Wenner moved the mag from San Francisco to New York, it became less of a beacon for the counter-culture and more of an "info-tainment" vehicle. Little by little, the old Rolling Stone melted away...the end of the "tabloid newspaper" look and the birth of the slick magazine, the steady shrinking down to "standard magazine size," and a relentless pursuit of "flavor of the month"...like Snooki.

They have writers like Matt Taibbi who still make the magazine a worthwhile read, but I remember when I used to devour each new issue, front to back...even the ads were a trip.

10. my jaw actually dropped when I saw her on the cover.
If that isn't a sign of the end times, well, perhaps the end of any sort of relevance of RS, I don't what is.

14. I actually have no problem with the show. If people want
to consume that cotton candy empty fluff masquerading as entertainment, go for it. It's pretty easy for me to avoid. And I am not one to talk, I kind of, sort of, enjoy American Idol, and am actually pulling for Casey Abrams this year.

But the cover of Rolling Stone? Are you fucking kidding me, has the music business descending that low? Does the lowest common denominator have to invade every part of life....???

I would rather see Disney's latest pre formed, manufactured pop princess than this girl.

4. You looked! Bwahahaha!
Tempting, I know, but the regret sets in very quickly as each of the 12 photos in the gallery burn away a little bit more of your retinas.

:rofl:

8. I really think it's the booze.
She's got that unhealthy puffy look that lushes tend to develop. Hopefully she's squirreled enough of her 15-minutes-of-salary away to pay for that liver transplant she'll inevitably need (and it's clear that her cohorts won't be able to help her out in that department).

9. And I am clicking the link. And now I'm realizing that you meant "Enjoy!" sarcastically.
And now I'm think that my evening was better before I clicked on the link.

16. Famous for being a trainwreck.
Hey, I'm famous because I'm lucky at cards! Hey, I'm famous because I can eat assloads of food! Hey, I'm famous for being a caricature of unearned wealth! Hey, I'm famous for not being able to sing well at all! Hey, I'm famous for rehashing a dumbed-down Junior Samples!

It's a cat . . . flushing a toilet, it's a cat . . . flushing a toilet!

DUHmerica.
