The Cultural Atrocities Issue

  • Welcome to the Twin Zone

    The longest period of time the ATL Twins have spent apart has been six hours when Sidney was locked up for a DUI. Otherwise they are always together, with the exception of a few minutes here and there to shit, shave, and shower.

  • Daytona Beach, 1999

    In 1999, award-winning Magnum photographer Eli Reed set off to document spring break in Daytona Beach, Florida. Having watched the white kids getting hysterically drunk, "trying to crawl up inside the backside of uncaring contestants" in wet T-shirt...
