Vice Magazine

Update: ‘Vice’ Decides to Jump On this ‘Occupy’ Business…In Williamsburg!

Update: Vice has wrote to us that they aren't behind the Occupy Williamsburg thing. They just tweeted about it. So it's still not a joke, except the joke that Vice was making when they tweeted "Not a joke."

Oh please, Vice magazine. We know you are owned by HBO. We know that your current homepage features men in nice suits with signs saying "Suck 1% of My Dick."

So what are you trying to prove with tonight's event? Read More

Sweating it Out at the Vice 2011 Photo Show

Last night The Observer hopped on a hot, sweaty subway and emerged in the hot, sweaty Lower East Side. We trudged, wiping the sweat from our brow, to the Vice Magazine Photo Show. Arriving at the door of the gallery, a mob of perspiring partiers was causing the doorman and bouncer much distress. “Everybody back Read More

A Real To-Do: Vice‘s Meatpacking Creation Station

Hipsters, journalists and VIPs from all walks of creativity crowded the meatpacking district's multi-tiered Milk gallery Saturday afternoon for the Creator's Project — an arts event-cum-music festival sponsored by Intel and Vice magazine. Once out of the swelter, attendees crammed into the building's freight elevators to gawk at the multimedia orgy, where TV screens filled Read More

It’s Hip to be Profitable

Today, a bicoastal examination of the future of media.

Dave Eggers spoke recently at Berkeley's J-School about print journalism. He and fellow McSweeney's leaders took the opportunity to explain the economics of the quarterly's recent newspaper experiment, the Panorama. Reports SF Weekly:

Many people assumed Dave Eggers' business model for the next-generation newspaper was something Read More

Vice Partners With CNN

File this one under "surprising unions": Vice and CNN have announced a content-sharing partnership. A new show produced by the irreverent hipster magazine's online television arm, VBS.tv, will appear each Wednesday on CNN.com, along with archived material from VBS.tv's international reporting.

Vice, according to their press release, is pleased:

The Last Crack Hipster

On my way to meet the Last Crack Hipster, I bought a soda at a bodega around the corner from where he lives in Brooklyn. I must have missed him by a minute. The bodega sells crack pipes, too. Most bodegas in the city do. The pipes used to be disguised as glass tubes, corked Read More

Vice Magazine Throwing $250k Halloween Bash

In these ugly media times, the media party calendar is looking unusually thin this month. Sure, Gourmet is still throwing their party tonight and Cosmopolitan had its own party earlier this week, but the Manhattan magazine party circuit, particularly in October, ain't what it used to be.

So, off to Brooklyn we go! Vice Magazine is throwing an absurdly un-frugal Halloween Read More

The Hipster Grifter

It’s likely that when Kari Ferrell walked into the Vice magazine offices in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, last month to interview for an administrative assistant job, they thought they’d hit the jackpot. Ms. Ferrell—petite, 22 years old, of Korean heritage—had a huge tattoo of a phoenix across her chest and a cute pixie haircut. She was talkative, Read More

The New Little Miss Missbehave

Like so many of us, Lesley Arfin has a Facebook problem. Ms. Arfin, the recently installed editor in chief of Missbehave, a lifestyle magazine for young women whose cultural touchstones (not to mention love lives) slant more towards Freaks and Geeks than Sex and the City, is a bit overwhelmed by her own popularity on Read More

Vice to Readers: You Never Write

Like a parent who threatens to turn around a car full of unruly kids unless they behave this instant, Vice magazine has decided to suspend its letters page until readers can send them something worth printing.

"You know what? No letters page this month," declare the editors of the Brooklyn-based youth culture and Read More
