A "remixed" version of Rolling Stone's August 1, 2013 issue that features a bloodied image of Tsarnaev and the caption "The Bomber: How A Popular, Promising Student Was Failed By His Family, Fell Into Radical Islam, and Became A Monster." Various remixed versions of the Tsarnaev cover circulated on social media in July and August 2013. Rolling Stone's August 1, 2013 issue (which was published in late July 2013) featured a controversial cover image of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The image was criticized by individuals and organizations who thought it presented Tsarnaev as a celebrity. Several stores refused to display or sell this issue to customers.
