PURITY BALLS
Here’s what happens when wives finally get rid of all their husband’s friends and Dad’s got fuck all else to do with himself apart from obsessing about the integrity of his daughter’s vagina. Purity Balls are a Baptist celebration where the daughter presents her father with a key, representing her locked-up, untouched purity. When the girl has found a suitor, the father gives her fiancé the keys to the cooch, not unlike a car salesman…
PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY
Thanks to everyone who came to our birthday party last week. We’ve put up some photos here. If you’ve got any good ones please email them to us. A special thanks to the bands, the DJs and Rockstar Games.
IF YOU’RE HORNY, LET’S DO IT. RIDE IT, MY PONY.
Our story about Pony the orangutan sex slave has garnered a lot of attention. One reader was left pondering the correct term for such ape/human unions (a humangutan, FYI). Another reader was intrigued by the guy who would have sex with a shaved Orangutang but draws the line at hairy one. And, maybe because they don’t want to believe that mankind can stoop so low, some still refuse to believe Pony’s tragic story despite the YouTube footage (skip to 12 mins 48 secs).

HEYYYYY, NO FAIR!
Remember the interview we did with Vann Nath, the Cambodian painter who was forced to make propaganda posters for the Khmer Rouge while he was held as a political prisoner? Well, the man who ran the torture camp is finally being put on trial this week. Ironically, he’s appealing against the case, claiming his human rights have been violated because he’s been in prison for eight years without trial. You can’t blame a guy for trying — except when that guy happened to be a key component in a genocide.
SYDNEY - VICE FESTIVAL GUIDE LAUNCH PARTY (THE AFTERMATH)
We held our new Festival Guide and CD sampler launch party in Sydney over the weekend at the The Oxford Art Factory and it went down a treat. Those who got there early enough for the free turps got to check out the listening party for the Black Lips new album, Good Bad Not Evil that you can buy, play and enjoy as of next week courtesy of Etch n Sketch and Vice Records. Mission Control, Cassette Kids, Outrun and Art Rush provided the live action while Tranterco and Co. made sure none of us went home early. For those who didn’t make it along (we don’t want to hear your excuses) and for those that did and just wanted to check how good you looked on the night then have a peek at some of the photos from the night here.
LACTOSE LOVE
What happened to milk? From weaning through to that heavenly time when cereal is the most important meal in the world, milk was essential. But then we heard that it’s probably bad for you and now we’re hearing that it’s bad for the environment and somewhere along the line, milk got boring. But wait! Dairy doesn’t have to come from a cow. In fact, there’s a whole bevy of other teats we can tap in order to make milk less meh …
NEW YORK - NAME GENERATOR
You probably have no clue how hard it is coming up with fake names to make it seem like this magazine is written by more than five people. Suffice it to say, it’s a chore. For every Brody Bitcheloe and Snazzy Cupcakes that strikes in a moment of inspiration, we spend countless hours locked in front of the computer trying to affix normal first names to goofy last names or different adjectives to the word “McPants”. Well, those days are officially done. We have no idea how this thing works, but it is essentially the best internet dealie ever. You pick your gender, you set your “obscurity factor,” whatever that may be, and it spits out list after list of names, at least one of which is a guaranteed showstopper. We just did it now on 22 and it gave us Beryl Vonderheide, Terrance Hands, and Hammar. Hammar! Not exactly sure how you’re supposed to “use it for pick-up lines or car rentals” per its suggestion or why clicking on the names sends you to Ebay, but we plan on putting it to good use of our own. From now on, every name you read at the bottom of an article or review is coming straight out of this puppy. Except for the real names.
OUR FUNNY INTERN RANDY
Hey, we have this intern named Randy, which is not only one of our favorite names (Say it: Randy. Randy! What a great name), but also he is funny and he made a funny albeit slightly bittersweet mini-documentary about the genius who did that book Dancing with Cats. Watch it now! What, you have something better to do? Click the video twice and then the whole deal pops up big. (I didn’t know how to do that.)
