Vu Weekly describes itself as “Edmonton’s independent arts and entertainment weekly magazine”. A quickly look at the current issue reveals that it is a rather open minded and liberal publication that dislikes “corporate media”, has a special “Sex and Love Issue” planned (complete with a rather provocative Flash based column ad on all pages), and…
