Petition Calls On Rolling Stone To Donate Profits From Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Issue To Boston Marathon Victims

Rolling Stone magazine ignited national outcry last week when it unveiled the cover of its' August issue, the face of alleged Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev looking dreamily, and eerily like previous covers starring the likes of Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan.
While scores of celebrities took to Twitter to vent their anger over the apparent romanticizing of an alleged terrorist, Jack Osbourne – son of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne – has taken things one step further. Last week, he launched a petition on Change.org urging Rolling Stone magazine to donate all profits made from the current edition’s sale (retail and advertising revenue) to the victims, surviving family members and first responders adversely affected by the Boston Marathon bombings.
