Question Of The Day
Would You Buy the Magazine That Funds Heroin Use?
Last weekend, a new magazine appeared in Copenhagen. Illegal! is a quarterly publication about drugs, sold by drug addicts in order to fund their drug addiction. Two thirds of the total sale price (about $5) goes to the seller to spend on heroin...
Is It OK to Steal from Rich People?
We were all brought up to understand that stealing is wrong. But is stealing really that wrong when the person you're taking stuff from has a tons of stuff left over? Like, would Kim Kardashian really notice if one of her lip glosses went missing? Or...
When Is It OK to Kill?
Yesterday, Ian Brady explained his murder of five children in the mid-60s as an "existentialist experience." Which seems like a big leap from reading Sartre's Nausea while staring out of windows, but I suppose that's how you get away with...

What Do You Think About Critiquing Naked Women on TV?
Last month saw the premiere of 'Blachman,' a new Danish TV show where a panel of men judge the bodies of naked women. That's literally the whole show. Just some men saying what they like and don't like about the bodies of naked women. Lots of people...
How Would You Feel if Your Mayor Smoked Crack?
It's not totally surprising that famously erratic Toronto Mayor Rob Ford got filmed sucking a glass dick. But what would it be like if a more respected authority figure, like New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, was found in similar cracked-out...
What Do You Want Done to Your Body When You Die?

Hey UK, Are You Glad That Margaret Thatcher Is Dead?
Britain's first female prime minister passed away this morning after a stroke, leaving a relatively mixed legacy behind. I wanted to see whether a mention of the Iron Lady still manages to provoke as visceral a response in death as it did when she was...
