Fresh Underground Culture Magazine (FUCM) is an Australian-based eco-political, satirical, free press publication. Founded by brothers Bam and Up'n'Atom with the assistance of long-time friend Cedric Milner; ''FUCM'' was initially released as an e-zine on 1 February 2003 (01.02.03). The abbreviated print variation of the web based medium was published and distributed across the East Coast of Australia a little over a year later; on 2 March 2004. == FUCM in print == Printed on an A2 poster (double sided, and folded down); the first ever release of ''FUCM'' featured the now popular — but then unknown — Australian actor Paul O'Brien (''Home and Away'') on its front cover. It had a satirical feature article titled 'George wins again!' describing the US President George W Bush's 3rd consecutive 'Stupid World Leader pageant' accolade. Of the seventeen contributors for the first issue 13 countries were represented. The second issue moved away from a poster format, converting to a 140 mm x 140 mm saddle-bound glossy magazine; a size it has maintained. ''FUCM'' released another four issues featuring eco-political, satirical, almost irreverent content written by a core of global contributors; Ginger Murray (current editor and founder of San Francisco based ''Whore'' magazine); Barry Brisco (currently contracted to the US version of ''Wheel of Fortune'' in the character role of 'Money'); and Tim Fisher (current editor of ''Australian Surfing Life magazine'') among those. Of the regular content, the ''Cookin'' and ''Flaccid News'' sections garnered an almost cult-like popularity. ''Cookin'' introduced the reader to banter between Bam & the Guv as they cooked legitimate recipes in entirely fictional surroundings for infamous celebrities and world leaders. Among those; Saddam Hussein, George Bush, Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, and Dick Cheney. ''Flaccid News'' introduced brief stories completely lacking in any legitimacy or credibility. Both sections have continued to feature in all magazines printed to date. ''FUCM'' became the official launch pad of the animated cartoon series ''The Audacious Adventures of Bam & Gumpy'' when it printed their first ever comic strip. Based loosely around a jazzfunkhiphouse styled band; with characters drawn by the well known Sydney based street artist 'Graf Master Mick'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FUCM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
