I can't lie -- the Hills girls on the cover of RollingStone freaks me out a little bit. Sure, I like the show. I get that it's zeitgeisty and mock-post-counter ironic (or whatever excuse hipster types are using as an excuse to watch these days) and that it reveals how shallow and mindless us 20-somethings are. But really? RollingStone? Granted, Creed was once on the cover of the RollingStone. So was Dennis Rodman. When you are trying to forecast trends, it's easy to misstep. That's the risk that goes with examining phenomena. But when you hit, you get iconic covers like the ones below, and it makes it all worthwhile.
The cover story on our favorite glazed-eyed, extension-ladden pseudo celebs seems alright, but I have the sneaking suspicion that in two years or so, this Hills cover might endure a mountain of mockery.
