They placed "B" on the cover because everybody loves her, and she's hot to def. They placed the new Dick Gregory on the inside because they knew that folks would wake up and pay attention, which I bet they thought, could have positively affected magazine sells. Those folks who are canceling their subscriptions will be replaced by new readers. Me personally, I wouldn't have gone out like a clown and did it like he did it. Kanye needs to learn how to act as a man of distinction, versus wanting to be the walking billboard of all things controversial. I dig his talent, but not his actions in this case.

Your statement is very sound. But:
What controversy? I have seen it only here and the "blog".
