After 14 years of skateboarding naked, doing coke with Koala bears, and penning his notorious Do's and Don'ts column for Vice Magazine, which he founded with two partners in 1994, Gavin McInnes cashed out his shares last January and built a country home in New York's Sullivan County. "My wife has graduated into this new lifestyle really well. She's got a Chanel power suit and is on all these real estate blogs," jokes McInnes, who's actually back to his old antics. "I just want to make goofy shit and stupid videos, really." With about two dozen viral spots that have been picked up by FunnyorDie.com, MyDamnChannel.com, and the Sundance Film Festival he's revisiting an old concept he learned in the magazine game. "I like the idea of getting money from corporations to do funny bits as long as they don't meddle," he says. Oddly enough, the Canadian-born funnyman has found a patron in Teva, the Goleta, California-based brand known for their strappy river sandals, to sponsor a new series he shot out in the country called "The Naturist," which hits the airwaves at various times on the big networks beginning this Saturday. We talked to McInnes about the spot, what he's got in the pipeline, and some do's and don'ts for summer.
