See, here's the thing about Vice Magazine since 2003: they got even better than they were before. They integrated a newfound interest in the world and the people who live in it with their previous stories of poop and pee. They started doing heavy news stories from all over the planet -- real-deal journalism that can stand up next to any mainstream dinosaur of a magazine. They also began to publish a yearly fiction issue, running work by both venerable heroes and kids nobody has heard of yet but everyone will love in a year. Amidst the trademark heartfelt screeds regarding screwing and bodily functions, they published legitimate scoops from places as far flung as Russia, Burma, Appalachia, Antarctica, Pakistan, and New Jersey. They published an issue that was entirely written by Iraqi citizens living in the midst of the war. They practiced immersive journalism everywhere from poverty-stricken Indian reservations to leper colonies in Nepal. And yet they never stopped keeping up with new music, weird art, and good fashion. How do they pull it off? They don't know. It s a mystery. Ask God, maybe she can tell you. But seriously folks, they're really, really proud of the last five years of Vice Magazine and, if you have a pulse, this book will knock your socks out the back of your a**. Thanks for your time. A decent number of photos (b&w).
