screen-shot-2010-03-19-at-120048

Much like the ketamin cornflakes, you have to promise me that if you read this blog you absolutely, positively, won’t buy any of the products it mentions. People who send tasteless crap into VICE fall into two categories. Type one thinks that we’re the kind of people who’re excited by burlesque, or team-bondage for brokers, or erotic magicians, or rent-a-gimp companies - basically the kind of boring suburban crap that Bizarre Magazine treats like the Roswell landing.

SPORTS NEWS: INSULTING THE FRENCH IS ACCEPTABLE

So tomorrow the French football team will be traveling to Dublin to receive a lesson in football. Not content with fixing themselves an nice easy play-off (UEFA President Michel Platini [a Frenchman!] decided to seed the top four play-off teams two months ago in order to get Les Bleus into the World Cup), they now want a VIP box for their diminutive president Nicolas Sarkozy.

Can dudes now snog each other in the club without being called gay? Am I a homophobe to even question that? What the fuck is going on? I just don’t know. I figured an expert was needed to answer my questions, so I hunted down the most logical solution to my conundrum: the gay professor from Gilligan’s Island. Well, at least the man who played the gay professor from Gilligan’s Island on the reality version of the show, Eric Anderson. He actually is a gay professor and he gained his PhD by researching gay people in sport, so he’s the perfect guy to talk to here. We chatted about about everything from Gilligan’s Island to when it doesn’t have to be gay to give another man a blowjob. Read more »

My holiday in the Balkans: Strippers, military keep-sakes, and dog raping

Having recently become unemployed, I’ve found myself watching a lot of TV recently, in particular Top Gear, so I quite fancied the idea of going on a driving holiday, maybe to California. However, having recently become unemployed it seemed more realistic to go driving around Eastern Europe instead; in particular, the Balkans. I took a camera with me so you can feel as if you came too. Hold on to your seats and let’s ride. Read more »
