Editorial Reviews

Product Description
What started out as a few twenty-something drug addicts writing a newsletter and scamming welfare-to-work programs in the mid-nineties has become a global empire of hedonism that includes a magazine, a chain of retail stores, a clothing line, Vice Films, Vice TV, Vice Records, and viceland.com. A compilation of the magazines best articles over the past decade, the book includes hilarious, edgy, and informative guides to sex, music and the party scene. With outtakes and photos from their most famous issues, The Vice Guide....is an irreverent look at an outrageous cultural phenomenon. The Vice Guide....will appeal to the same audience who made bestsellers of The Onion, The Darwin Awards, and The Hipster Handbook. With a circulation of 200,000 this free monthly had taken its place alongside Rolling Stone and Spin, establishing itself as the voice of a generation. It was named the #1 trendsetting magazine for females 19-24 and #2 for males 25-30 by the Cassandra Report marketing survey. The Vice web site, viceland.com, has 80,000 unique users per month. Vice has signed with New Line Cinema to write and produce their own feature films. They have also signed with Atlantic Records to develop their own label and with Showtime to develop a comedy series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ack! False infomation everywhere!, September 1, 2004
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?

The sex and rock & roll articles are quite readable, though most of the drug information provided is pure urban legend trash.

Note: condoning the use of anti-depressants in high quantity for recreational effect has got to be the most reckless advice I've ever read. For the sake of everyone's personal safety, DO NOT TAKE VICE'S DRUG ARTICLES SERIOUSLY!

5.0 out of 5 stars big joy, February 12, 2004
By Stephanie Donnelly "velocityjones" (Hollywood, CA. United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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).

5.0 out of 5 stars great leisure read, January 24, 2006
By Chase Azimi "quest1988" (Hayward, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"the vice guide to sex and drugs and rock and roll" is more of an introduction to, well, the vices in life. Most of the information is half assed, and its dripping with sarcasm on most of the important aspects of the book. however, its an enlightening read and the "government high" and "fashion do's and dont's" are perhaps the reason this book is always open near my toilet
