TV personality Jack Osbourne has called for people to fight against the Rolling Stone after staff at the magazine decided to put the Boston marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, on its cover.

The magazine made the bold decision to make Tsarnaev a cover star (shown below) earlier this month and it has provoked a strong reaction from the public. Writing on his official Twitter page this week, Osbourne expressed his disgust at the news:

"Disgusting!!! this is exactly why these fuck heads commit terrorism so they can get the recognition they so desire. #boycotRollingStoneMagazine please retweet this as much as you can. shame on them. Why not put all of the victims on the cover? Or all of the brave men & women who have died fight the war?"

He returned to the social networking site today (July 19) and shared a link to a petition with his followers that is fighting to get the Rolling Stone to at least donate profits from copies sold to the victims of the tradegy: "Enough talk. Challenge @RollingStone to #DonateAllProfits from latest issue to Boston bombing victims."

His mother, Sharon, has also shown her support and shared the same information with her Twitter followers.
