A new petition on change.org has challenged Rolling Stone Magazine to donate all of its profits from the controversial August 2013 issue to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.

To make up for the pain caused by the cover, which features the bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, this new petition calls for the magazine to donate all of its profits, including those from advertising revenue as well as retail sales, to the victims, the surviving family members of those who died, and injured first responders.

The magazine’s cover has stirred up a flurry of emotions across the country and here in Boston especially. Wounds fresh from April 15 stung anew as a result of the Rolling Stone’s publicity stunt.

The petition’s creator, Jack Osbourne, is careful to point out that the issue at hand is the indecency of putting Tsarnaev’s photo on the cover, not with the article itself. Depicting the accused bomber in the place usually reserved for musicians and other noteworthy celebrities “encourages other sick individuals to act out in hopes of earning notoriety or martyrdom for their cause,” Osbourne writes.

The petition has been signed by 42,253 people thus far, putting it close to its goal of 50,000 signatures.

This petition is the latest in a stream of protests against the magazine since the cover surfaced on July 16, including store boycotts, alternate covers, and a letter penned by Mayor Menino. While all of this backlash may have generated exactly the kind of publicity the magazine was aiming for, it shows that Boston and its supporters across the world have not forgotten the pain inflicted by the bombing and will absolutely not tolerate the elevation of a terrorist to celebrity status.

Given the fact that Rolling Stone probably pulled this insensitive stunt in an effort to raise sales, it is highly unlikely that the magazine will respond to this challenge, but the petition’s signatures still serve as proof that those upset and affected by the cover do not stand alone.
