[edit] Vice partnership with MTV

I tried to add information about the vice partnership with MTV, but wikipedia insists that i am trying to insert a blacklisted link... http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/19/business/media/19vice.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.22.57.5 (talk) 21:24, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Pro-Rape Manual" MY ASS

This response was made in passion, and thus I will come across very furious. I'm not irrational, but please, hear me out.

The speculation that Answer Me! Issue # 4 was a "Pro-Rape Manual" is blatantly false. Not once in the book does Jim Goad, who by the way did not advocate rape, nor any of the contributors ADVOCATING rape, detail step-by-step on how to rape someone.

Of all articles, the most explicit (and disturbing for that matter) ones were written by Peter Sotos and Randall Phillip. I happen to own a copy, and if you need references, I'll be glad to provide some.

Jim Goad attempted to understand rape from the rapists' POV, stating in the Shit Magnet (pardon the analogy), "Trying to understand rape solely form a victim's viewpoint was like trying to understand automobiles strictly from the perspective of the asphalt. I wanted to yank the reader right into it as a participant, experiencing it from every possible angle, including those of [rapist] and [victim]." Groar! (talk) 02:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] American Conservative Article

"In response to these criticisms, co-founder Gavin McInnes published an article attacking liberals in The American Conservative entitled "Hip to Be Square: It’s getting cooler to be conservative" in August 2003. McInnes later said the article was written as a joke."

I've removed the line "McInnes later said this article was written as a joke" because I can't find a quote verifying this. If there is some proof, I'd like to see it. As far as I'm concerned, he was 100% serious about being a .

Empire's are awesome. Darth Bush is the new Queen. Rule Amerikkka. P.S. if the point is in dispute, don't add it. Not that it matters, Wikipedia isn't "fact". Its the citations we should be worrying about. 194.72.54.162 (talk) 16:34, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ummm free?

Their website is currently requiring 30 USD for a North American subscription. Is it free if you find it at a stand or something? It would also be nice to have some information on where it can be found out and about.


Umm yeah ive found being free at magazine stands and cafés altough those magazines were a bit outdated.


yeah it's free and can be found in most cities at certain stores in most cities. they don't really like to do subscriptions, that's why they cost money. -g —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.197.245.159 (talk) 16:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Racism

Also of note is that Vice published an article on the band Prussian Blue. That article was not critical of the band and did not challenge anything that this group stands for. In the audio commentary on that article the Vice commentator says that "my only beef with these people is their issue with race mixing." So he DOESNT take issue with Holocaust denial, eugenics, separatism, or pro-Hitler sentiments? He also, apparently, doesnt have a problem calling people "chinks." see http://www.viceland.com/issues/v11n10/htdocs/hello.php

Vice should be taken with a pinch of salt. If you don't like your "freedom Fries" with salt don't have salt. However boycotting a whole culture might be considered racism. Does that make Amerikkka racist?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Vice Magazine.jpg

Image:Vice Magazine.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] I love being white too

What's wrong with that? How is this controversial? Isn’t that original research? 194.72.54.162 (talk) 16:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I also enjoy being white. Why does this make me a racist? Please help! --202.134.251.206 (talk) 04:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] VBS.tv linkage

Apart from the magazine, Vice is also responsible for VBS.tv, Vice Television. It would be relevant to allow the site to be linked in the extended links section. Can this be changed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superboreal (talk • contribs) 22:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
