The Black Table interviews the always eloquent VICE mag editor Jesse Pearson:
Black Table: Is Vice Magazine *really* a magazine or is it just a circular for skateboarders? There seem to be an awful lot of ads. Sometimes the stories seem like ads and vice-versa. What's the thought process there?
Jesse Pearson: First of all, fuck you. We have maybe 5% more ads than Spin and Vibe, but we're free, so stop your whining. If you are implying there is some sort of carefully calculated corporate agenda, you are a fucking moron. We just try to assemble a magazine that we would want to read. We also want to exist and stay profitable. Magazines are not cash cows, so grow up and get over it.
