Triple5Soul and Vice are related somehow. They used to share the same building in W'burg. Who knows what else.

Who cares about some advertising squabble? I'm sure Gawker would do the same if...wait, I'm realizing there are no ads on this page. How the hell do you people make money?

I need to see "We here at VICE mag have sold out" written somewhere in 72-point type in order to complete the sick schadenfreude I am feeling right now.

In one of their books, they say "our mag is free so we can print whatever the fuck we want." But, on a photo issue a few years back, they started blurring genitalia. When someone called them on it, they said "every time we run something w/ a naked person in the mag, we lose ad revenue. Therefore, we'll never print a snatch or dick again." I'm paraphrasing, of course, but can you really tell?

I don't know which is sadder. Vice pretending they aren't MSM while pulling MSM stunts while still being a 3rd tier magazine at best while still crying themselves to sleep at night they are the heir apparents to Big Brother.

Or their parties.

So good too hear this. Being that I'm ancient, I could actually recall my high school buddy taking me to the loft of Triple5's (it was called 555-SOUL then) founder.

She was this cute blonde named Carmela and I think she was from Sweden. Anyway, in this loft in Soho was a bunch of real graffiti artists just hanging and writing and she basically fed off their street energy like a vampire.

My friend ended up starting the urban clothing line PNB. They both sold their companies and became millionaires!

Thus Wigger history was born y'all!
