The Serious Issue Of 'Vice'

According to a recent piece in Wired, the boys at Vice want to be taken seriously. (So much so that they've pretty much run off their badboy editor Gavin McInnis.) Enough with their stories of cocaine usage, tampons in hilarious and unwitting cavities and Ludlow Street depravity! Their latest issue is on Fear. The cover depicts a wolf with a maggot-eaten arm in its mouth! Talk about gravitas! More »

'Vice' Gets Jump On Iraqi Refugee Prostitute Coverage

viceKatherine "Syria Girl" Zoepf, the young and porcelain-skinned lady story-stringer of choice from the environs of Damascus, chimes in for the Times today with a great story about Baghdad refugees who are now forced to make their living as prostitutes.

And they wore them! Dumbasses. Apparently they're also given to saying dumb shit like, "I'm not religiously Buddhist, but i try to practice Buddhism in my life." Uh, okay. More »

'Vice' Finds Own Medicine Hard to Swallow

We love it when cooler-than-thou magazines get caught in unpleasant situations involving their advertisers. It's especially awkward when your magazine is practically predicated upon making fun of everyone and everything—like, say, Vice, which refused to run an ad for the Philadelphia hip-hop group Plastic Little's debut album because it mocked one of Vice's advertisers, Triple5Soul.
