  1. I once dated the guy who designed "The Urinater" I called him the piss salesman. He knew he was going to do well with his invention when it was advertised in the Rolling Stone.

  2. I have to laugh at all these comments saying RS used to be great before it got all political . It has always reported on the political and social aspects of this nation . You've all just got old and conservative . The digital age and social media has pretty much killed all these magazines .

  3. Do they really fail to mention that at the same time that Brittany and *NSYNC were popular that KoRn, Limp Bizkit and Marilyn Manson were just as big???!
