Summary: An excellent read... for the right audience.
Review: I never read this magazine because I mistook it for puerile fare like Maxim. But, judging by this fine book of collections and smart, intelligent writing, it appears that I was mistaken.The bad first: this book can come off badly with some roll-your-eyes quality immature humor. Some of the sex content *does* seem to come off like some cheesy Maxim rubbish. Now, on to the good. This is good stuff, a wonderfully irreverent take on modern urban culture, which of course, includes plenty of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Seeing as the magazine started in Montreal, it's nice to get some views into this woefully overlooked metropolis...

Summary: Ack! False drug infomation everywhere!
Review: Now, don't get me wrong, I love all of the clever wit and aggressive writing styles. Who cares if VICE doesn't bother editing for even near-proper grammar?
What bothers me are the essays from the supposed "drug experts." Sure, some nuggets of truth worm their way into the write ups, but most of the drug information provided is pure urban legend trash. Strychnine has no part in the synthesis of lysergic acid (LSD). Random testing has shown that only about .05% of acid tablets contain any strychnine, almost none of which contained enough to actually cause a physical response. Those jaw aches are a natural reaction the body has to certain drugs like amphetamines, tranquilizers, mescaline and acid. And LSD was not invented during the Vietnam War!
Alcohol should NEVER be combined with sedatives (or really any other drug for that matter). Also, condoning the use of anti-depressants in high quantity for recreational effect has got to be the most reckless drug advice I've ever read. For the sake of scientific truth and personal safety, DO NOT TAKE VICE'S DRUG ARTICLES SERIOUSLY!

Summary: DOs and DON'Ts
Review: People say a lot about this magazine but they never mention how hilarious it is. I never laugh out loud reading books (OK maybe Confederacy of Dunces but that was when I was 13). I laughed out loud so hard reading their fashion section's dos and don'ts that I was embarassed. The cover price is worth it just for that section - but the rest is funny too.

Summary: VICE IS NO FUN
Review: that's all i have to say. vice only exists now for shock value and contains nothing of it's original wit and satire. the people at vice are sellouts and all the people in montreal know it.
BOYCOTT VICE!

Summary: big joy
Review: The gift that keeps on giving -- all the best words for this little charmer are Amazon-illegal, but parts seriously make you wonder if you even knew how to kiss right/think sharp before it. Hip without crowding anyone out and funnier than you'd expect. Also, the intro/story of VICE's founding is pretty touching. Get it (on).

Summary: VICE IS NO FUN
Review: This is easily one of the best toilet books ever. A perfect tome to have near the throne, this book has random article after random article about the title topics. Vice is a vicious, free magazine that discourages subscriptions. The articles here vary from drug write-ups to profiles on black metal ghouls. Vice is smart and sickly cynical. This is not Maxim or FHM. Highly recommended. You can impress guests with this next to the Charmin.

Summary: Beautifully irreverant.
Review: We can all hope this wonderfully irreverant and honest collection of essays on what really goes on in modern urban culture is a foreshadowing of the death of political correctness. If you've got a sense of humor and live life with your fun-meter turned to 10, you'll really appreciate this book.
