New York - VICE Online Print Edition (Wha?!?!?)

As we assume most of you know, we are a magazine. Like a made-of-paper-with- stuff-printed-on-it-all-bound-together magazine. We're happy with the stuff that goes online, and how it all looks, and what teenagers have to say about it, but when it comes right down to it we really like our print edition a little more. It's all glossy and slightly heavy and if you think something's funny, you can hand it to a friend instead of doing that awkward thing where you half get out of your seat and they crane over your shoulder to look at the monitor. Plus it's not considered a hallmark of polite company to haul your roommate's laptop into the bathroom every time you take a shit.

We realize not everybody is lucky enough to get their hands on a physical copy every month, and have finally decided to give those errant sad sacks a glimpse into our monthly joy. Starting right now with the Cops Issue, we will be putting up an Adobe Acrobat .pdf file of every print issue--ads, spreads, masthead and all--exactly as it is in print, and exactly how it would look if you fed it to a computer in a cartoon. If you're a nerd, you can save a copy or print one out to read on the train or bus, and if you're an even bigger nerd you can play junior zinester by printing a whole bunch out, carefully folding and stapling all the pages, then dropping your stack at a local store and casually hanging out a few yards away to keep tabs on your readership. Or you could just leave it on your desktop with all the other cluttered bullshit--the choice is yours!

Click here for the inaugural copy. Oh, what's that? Why you're very welcome.

It would be cool if all issues of Vice were put up. A gift to posterity.

THANKS!

Re:podcast. You guys should really look into doing the current commentary as a more structured "read-along" with readers looking at the magazine/PDF and turning the pages with you.

I think Fader is retarded so I don't know if that's what that other guy means.

Thanks! I can't tell you how much I piss off the owners of skate/music shops by going in to get a copy or Vice and buying nothing, they get quite vocal about at, the cheapskate i am.

This whole technology thing blows.
If you're going to read the magazine why don't you go the whole 9 yards and get the actual magazine?
