We
haven't swung by the local convenience store for the latest Rolling Stone mag, and after hearing Howard Stern's rant today, we're not sure if we will.
The whole Kanye as Jesus thing (complete with a crown of
thorns) might be a major put-off to any Christian readers, which is ironic since Stern is Jewish. So what's his
Howardness's beef? Apparently Mr. Private Parts was shot in the exact same way for Rolling Stone some
ten-odd years back when he wasn't the $500
million dollar man. 
So why didn't we ever see Howard as Jesus? Rolling Stone head-honchos figured that the cover shot would be too
controversial for the mag; like that never happens, right?What's the deal? Kanye plays Jesus as an African-American but Stern can't play the part as a white Jewish-American? Maybe it's just us, but Rolling Stone makes it clear that what was controversial ten years ago sells magazines today.
1. Ok, so Kanye West is black and Jesus. George Bush loves Jesus but hates black people. So, does Bush love or hate Kanye, and does he give him money when he's in need?
RS is dumb for doing that to their cover. What message are they sending? If they're doing it for controversy, then this must be the final nail in RS coffin.
How weak.
