Vice magazine has been ruining my life for years. This book sums up why I'm glad it did. Hedonism and nihilism in perfect harmony. Yes, it might be offensive, sexist, and racist at times, but their intent is in the right place- to break every taboo and barrier that exists. Their twitter describes Vice as the "all-powerful, all-consuming whore of Babylon" and I say keep it coming. If you're new to the "being cool" game, this might help.
This book is great for one simple reason: it talks about sex, drugs and rock n' roll and educates those of us too chicken to indulge in copious amounts of all three. For instance, I learned that Mennonites buy sperm to keep their population genetics straight. And I also learned that if you put something blatantly sexual on your resumee, there's a good chance you'll get at least one call back.
Absolutely my most favorite book in life. Have read this book probably 20 times, and I wish I was kidding. I can't wait until the kids are old enough to read this, actually. Honest gonzo journalism with it's finger firmly on the pulse of....well.....everything. Can't say enough good things about all the Vice Guides. I wish I could give it more stars.....
So funny and realistic. Love the list of Guilty Pleasures and the "How To" sex articles. We have this on the shelf and occasionally I pick it up to reread something and laugh until I cry! Still!
