Well I feel like I'm going off topic by going back to topic....
I used to work for Vice and although I don't always have the best things to say about them the writing is often surprisingly good. Especially surprising as it is so irony filled but written mainly by Americans (The content is shared around the various Vice countries but the main writers are in the US). Some of their pieces although shocking are very thought provoking and often have core message, although it's not always obvious. It is a taste maker and barometer of trends, fashion and music.
Other times it just wants to shock.
But always it's done for the money. It's more capitalist than you would expect. Different from the other mags ID, Dazed etc in it's set-up but it is still about the cash.
