Here is the latest cover of Rolling Stone, featuring our current favorite vampire franchise True Blood.
My question is: With all the blood and nakedness, what kind of backlash are they going to get from people when they see this on newsstands?
What do you guys think?

this is real? for serious? Eric looks brutal, Bill just looks like Bill. and im sort of at a loss for words right now and i don't even have children. this has shocked me in a 'not good way', but not for the reasons most might think. i think it is seriously uncreative. the photography is lazy. other than blood what is the theme? with SO much going on in the show THIS is the best they could come up with? i found some words, i stand by them. and i feel bad for parents having to raise children in this thoughtless society.
Corinna you are such a prude!
Rolling Stone is just trying to sell magazines. Of course as a parent I would have to have a chat with the little one if she saw the cover.
She'd probably just assume they are zombies and move on though.
HA i know im getting old! im a curmudgeon too. first it reminded me of the Dixie Chicks Entertainment Weekly cover actually, my first thought was it's been done. but at least they did it with some class, this just looks slapped together i think that is partly why i find it so tasteless. on one hand it is no worse than the first cover Britney Spears did for Rolling Stone but on the other it shows a general lack of originality which annoys me and i find disappointing, if you want to do something controversial do it full out not half ass. pardon the pun.
Shock value. Thats all this is. For a show that mostly presents sex in a classy way, this cover is just unadulterated porn. I like the show, but this is offensive. Too far.
Really, I think its been taken to seriously. Nakedness and fake blood on a magazine cover should be the lest of our concerns. Both elements are a part of the TV series. Plus it is only skin, we all have it. P.s Rolling Stones is not a child's mag. I think its awesome, i love the photo and the series in general.
i love the show and i love this picture!!! nothing wrong with showing skin, as Pace said, we all have it!!
