"Rolling Stone" magazine unveiled a cover featuring alleged Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Comments from Facebook are edited for clarity and grammar:

There's no such thing as bad PR. Everyone will be talking about "Rolling Stone" magazine now, which is exactly what it wants! I bet this issue will sell very well.

I am shocked, but not surprised. Right after the bombing, I heard people say how cute he was. Yeah, look at what he's suspected of doing. Looks have nothing to do with it. Just another example of how low the bar has sunk in our society.

— Chris Drella

Wow, it's just an article about what happened! I don't think the magazine glamorized him. He is a sick person and did a horrible act. It is just reporting and using our God-given freedom of speech. Don't condemn it for that. I didn't get that it was supporting or sympathizing with his actions.

Hey, "Rolling Stone," you know who else besides Tsarnaev had bright futures? The deceased victims: Krystle Campbell, Martin Richard, Lu Lingzi and Sean Collier.

— Tracy Nickerson

You've got to be kidding me. So we're judging magazines by their covers now? Timothy McVeigh, Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Charles Manson, the Unabomber and a few U.S. presidents have all been on magazine covers. It's a form of media! How do you suggest they get the news to their readers?

I really think people are uncomfortable because he looks a little like Jim Morrison. He can't help the way he looks! You're acting as if they set up a photo shoot complete with craft services. Has anyone actually read the article?

— Erica Dinero Kelley

This "Rolling Stone" article seems very interesting. I'm going to buy it and read it.

— Rachel Ostrander

Why not put the pictures of the bombing victims on the cover? Too bad "Rolling Stone" has given the accused terrorist exactly what he would have wanted: free advertising for his deluded cause. Sad.

— Sue Van Kampen Knight

Why boycott "Rolling Stone" for telling a story that is unpleasant to some people? The story, frankly, needs to be told: How an Americanized Muslim teenager turned into a terrorist.

Maybe those opposed to the decision to run Tsarnaev's image on the cover should move someplace where the news media censor unpleasant stories.
