It has also given me the greatest moments of my life and is what every issue of VICE magazine could’ve been themed around since its inception.

Like, somewhere along the way I think we started living like irony is just ‘saying what we don’t mean’ and not a powerful literary device, and similar things have happened to all the things that have always been associated with being progressive/iconoclastic. Maybe I’m projecting or conflating things but this format you’ve put forward does feel like someone remembers what all those good things still are.”Chris Jean.VICE Subscriber“Dude, the whole issue is so fucking good.”Christopher Kulendran Thomas.VICE Reader“Absolutely disgusting. One of the most horrific stories I’ve ever read and the only story I’ve ever read that has made me unsubscribe from something. What was the purpose of this? Speaking as a journalist, I trusted you to curate interesting content, not sully my inbox with such a vile fetish.
