On Monday Feb 22nd, our beloved magazine Rolling Stone (and one of the only few we still subscribe the print edition to) had a bit of a blunder with their website.

According to @AdamOstrow, Editor In Chief at Mashable “Someone wake up the domain name admin at Rolling Stone — its website is currently rendering a Network Solutions landing page indicating that the iconic music magazine’s website is “coming soon… This has some speculating that Rolling Stone forgot to renew its domain name”

This internet blunder prompted a whole slew of tweets making fun of the magazine that inspired @RockIsReligion to also get into the action with our RT:

@rockisreligion at 1:21pm, Feb 22: “RT @Chronotope: @BenFrench @omarg: Is @RollingStone so old that they forgot to renew their domain name? www.rollingstone.com (@taraariano)”

The following day @RockIsReligion received this @reply from a @BenFrench at 6:46pm, Feb 23:

“@rockisreligion What’s a domain name? Also, do you think I can play web videos on my betamax machine?”

Turns out, Ben French is actually the Executive Producer of RollingStone.com.

Deflecting blunders with humor? We like it.

Well played my friend, well played.
