Vice Magazine has pretty much built its entire identity on controversy. Between photo shoots of transsexual street walkers and trips to the dark world of the Bolivian underbelly, content covered at Vice Magazine is not generally the stuff of church groups.
Though difficult to stomach for many, this controversy has gained Vice Magazine the notoriety it currently enjoys. For many members of Generation Y, Vice is the bible, providing alternative views on important topics while still maintaining a voice that is approachable and non-judgmental -- all the while appearing youthful enough to get away with posting things like DIY sex toys.
Some of the most memorably gasp-worthy moments in recent Vice Mag history include the aptly named series 'People Who Just Had Sex' and the decision to hire on the widely love-hated, openly addicted Cat Marnell as a columnist.
