BANKERS

DID YOU KNOW THE average SALARY of a 25-year-old investment banker ranges from £40,000 to £60,000 a year? Usually they'll make the same amount in bonuses.

Sure, the 100-hours-a-week regime is brutal but if they're tough enough to last ten years in the game, they'll be taking home more like £750,000 a year. And that doesn't include the business trips, houses, cars and Ming vases full of golden nuggets that most bankers are given from clients.

The one consolation that drones like you and me can derive from this story is that only about 5 per cent of all investment bankers last more than five years working like that without falling to pieces.

"You get screamed at every day and the pressure to succeed is just too much for most people to handle," our banker friend Jackson (see over page) told us.

"Making money is all you're allowed to think about. It drives you totally fucking crazy. I hate my life."

I'm an open minded kind of guy. I'm cool with trannies as long as it's obvious... walk around with your dicks out or something, then we can be grossed out first, not when we see the madams apple.

You motherfuckers. What the fuck is going on today ?who the fuck are these people? why is this becoming a more accepted thing/ why aren't more people making fun of how dumb and crazy(not cool crazy) these stupid not even fag bitches are? To qoute the formally great Chris Rock, "What ever happened to crazy?" Keep these shitty bitches out of shitty everyday society cause I'm sick of them. Not only are these crazy fucks eating e pills like their the newest craze in the latest low carb diet,(e pills are straight gay) most these fuckin transfucks are so stupid you'd assume their new ass cheek implants were made from thier frontal lobes. I interact with these wanna be pussy havin' pussies on a regular basis in Philly. If you fucken' punks want people to have an open mind about what you are then try not to tell any good looking white kid that he looks like Justin Timberlake just because he's white and good looking. Not only are you discustingly FUCK YOU you fucking idiots, your racists.

The Fashion section can be anything, just so long as it contains nice-looking clothes. Brands like Evisu don't look nearly as good as how much they cost. And I'm not even bashing unnecessary expensiveness.

I just don't think the Don'ts section should be filled with fashion whores, and the Dos section filled with cool grungy people who you KNOW didn't spend more than $10 on the clothes they're wearing, only to have the Fashion section filled with people that, by Vice's standards, belong in the Don'ts section.

These are(were)guys! Does it mean I'm gay if I got a hard-on from looking at these pics? That's not as bad as say, sucking a guy off, or letting a dude ass-fuck you... and remember- they DO look like real women!

why is it that people assume that being with a trannie means ur gay? Do you guys actually think that we are attracted to gay guys? Society is so quick on putting the label GAY on things they know nothing of. You see, sex is between the legs, gender is between the ears!

I've seen better TS's.

I think esrevernidellepS's point was that Vice should be promoting lesser known designers, and possibly a DIY aesthetic, rather than clothes you can buy at Sears.

It would be a rather lame fashion section if the clothing was off the sale rack at Wal Mart. If the clothing seem overpriced to you then don't get it. The kind of shit I think is overpriced is a shirt that says abercrombie on it really big for like $40. They should pay you for advertising their shitty company!

For a magazine that whines about trendy fashion left and right, it sure has a lot of trendy over-priced brands in its Fashion section.
