A5, trade and 32 pages on newsprint. TWWBAMBPIEWERP (or WIPE as I will call the magazine from now on) contains a lively sense of humor, something the major zines have lost in the search for pc-correctness. �When You�re Bored� is an excellent way to start off this magazine. An interview with Reel Big Fish is the next article, which is truly odd because RBF haven�t did anything for a few years (Basketball, covering the A-Ha�s �Take on Me� was their last hi). As is mentioned earlier in the magazine, it is published semi-annually which explains the appearance of a review for a show that occurred in November of 2000. In a totally innovative style of article, the editor of WIPE has made a contest for people to positively identify random men that they took pictures of. The printing in this magazine is pretty rough, but really only comes into p[lay on picture-heavy advertisements. Major label releases are mixed with acts that I�ve never heard of to make a overally more successful set of reviews. A conversation (possibly on a chat room) details the personal lives of different sitcom stars. �Dating Tips For Rachel� is a stream of consciousness rant that is truly bizarre to say the least. In perfect harmony with the prior article, the classifieds are the most frightening that I believe that I have ever read. In Stuff-magazine style, various questions are answered about any topic. A very interesting article follows about the mullet, perfect except for the extended length of the work (4 page). A fat Christian is ranted about in a very funny way, which is immediately followed by a Weezer show review and a list of the worst albums of all time, of which is have all five. Yay!. In the final page of the magazine that is not an ad or a wrap up, various little notes are listed that really make you think. Send $1 to PO Box 577, St James, NY 11780
