Rolling Stone magazine created a ton of controversy last week when they revealed the cover of their August issue, featuring Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev looking like a young rock star. Many felt in glorified the actions of the alleged terrorist, and have since sought out petitions (some successfully) to ban the magazine from various stores. Now it’s gone even further, and Jack Osbourne has created a petition on Change.org to urge the mag 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. The petition has generated more than 25,000 signatures in quite a short period of time. Let’s see if Rolling Stone responds. Do you think this is a good idea?
Petition Created To Encourage Rolling Stone To Donate Profits From Their Boston Bomber Cover To Boston Victims
SMH! Black Teachers Fired By NYC Principle School Because Of WHAT?!
Now this just ain’t right ya’ll…..According to a petition put together by Kevin Powell and the folks of BK Nation, two teachers from a high school in Queens have filed a discrimination claim against a principal who they said fired them for racially motivated reasons after she referred to them both as having “big lips” and “nappy hair” to other faculty members. I know what you’re thinking. Yes, it is crazy that people, especially those in positions of power, still think it’s okay to talk like this in 2013. See more after the jump………
Tyga Performs At Harvard University Despite Protest
Lately rappers have been coming under fire for violently misogynistic lyrics, Rick Ross was dropped from Reebok after some of his lyrics in a Rocko song U.O.E.N.O. where some of what Ross says has been interpreted ro mean rape. It seems the subject is extra touchy after the Steubenville trial and many other acts of date rape becoming more regular in culture. A protest to keep Tyga from performing was petitioned with over 2,000 signatures but it seems the good people at Harvard like to make it nasty. Tyga took to twitter to thank the good people at Harvard, and sent a gentle jab at Fox news who were portrayed the Los Angeles rapper in a very negative light recently. Hit the jump for more.
(Video) Shawty Lo – Petition
You won’t be seeing them on your TV screens any time soon, so Shawty Lo figured he’d just gather his brood and put them in his new music video. Perhaps he should start a petition to get the show a new network? LOL! Check out the rapper’s latest visual below.
The Game Starts Online Petition To Get G-Unit Back Together
The beef between 50 Cent and The Game happened many years ago, so it may be time to bury the hatchet. At least, that’s how Game feels. Now that reunion season is in full swing (Dip Set, anyone?), The Game and his team are hoping for a G-Unit get together as well. In fact, Game’s manager was telling the Wall Street Journal very recently that he’d been trying to at least get Game and Fif on the right page, but as of right now, Fif isn’t budging. That’s no deterrent for Game, though, as he’s now started an online petition to get the crew back together. Hey, if it works for the White House, maybe it’ll work for them!
LOL Shawty Lo Fights Fire With Fire !!!!
