How we’ve changed !

Like the VN title implies, whatever happens, happens.
We are but slaves to the process- a process that ebbs and flows just like the energy radiating out of your cell phone. You know, the one that’s killing you; but at low, low, dare I say, reasonable rates.

The first VN was a socio-political magazine covering civil rights, the prison system, and the like. I still have a copy, wise-guy, it’s true.
Then we started printing thousands upon thousands of copies on newsprint. And we realized that we had to get with the program and join the faceless corporate hordes. So we did.

That’s why you now hold in your hands the modern VN- never angering anyone, playing the game. Keeping our noses clean so we can get real jobs.
Our first intern now works at Rolling Stone, ya know?

Anyway, here are some positions we’ve considered lately as a reasonable effort on our part to improve our sagging bottom line, vis-a-vis advertizing:

1. Tell you again how much we like privitization. We really mean it. You should pay that much for health care, utilities, and Spam. Otherwise, you wouldn’t appreciate it, would you?

2. Alternative fuel and power. We hate them. ‘Nuf said.

3. Starbucks. Could we get a dozen more? I want one inside another.

4. Boy Bands. Big Music’s got their fingers on the pulse of a nation. Who are we to argue?

5. Bill Gates. Is there anything he can’t do?

6. Miramax is an indie. A real indie. I swear. Why would they lie?

7. Fries. Yeah, we want them with that. Why do you even ask?
