DEAR VICE - BEAUTIFUL, HAUNTING, AND DISTURBING

Whoa. We are plenty used to getting weird and obnoxious shit in the mail, but this one package may just tip the WTF? scales in its favor for the inclusion of a hand-drawn copy of this old Ryan McGinley photo and a graded college term paper on Kurt Cobain titled "Beautiful, Haunting, and Disturbing: Kurt Cobain." Neither for attempted publication, mind you. Just cause.

Dear Vice Mag,                        
                                                                     
After taking a useless/painful ECONOMICS mid-term this morning (Summer Quarter), I find myself devoting time to something I actually care about ‚Äì "your magazine". While I can rarely find Vice in magazine form around Seattle, I am a devoted reader/viewer of Viceland.com and Vice TV.  Also, I’ve been receiving Vice Publications (Book of "Dos & Don’ts", "The Vice Guide to Sex, Drugs & Rock ‚ÄòN; Roll", "The Photo Book", etc.) in book form for the past couple of Christmas’es!
I have come to love Vice. Not just because I like everything I see (though I read most of it and generally find it fascinating) but more because Vice is one of the few publications that will print whatever the fuck it wants just for the principle of being able to do so.
I love that.
So, while I’m stuck in school for the next 1.5 yrs, I take comfort in knowing that there is something else out there, something even more interesting than International Political Economy of Trade and Finance.
Gracias a Vice Land
XOXO
