Gavin Miles McInnes (born July 17, 1970) is a Canadian writer,〔 creative director,〔 actor, comedian, and co-founder of ''Vice Media''. ==Life and career== McInnes was born in Hitchin, England and moved to Canada when he was four.〔 He attended Ottawa’s Carleton University and received a degree in English〔 in 1992. As a teen, McInnes played in the Ottawa punk band ''Anal Chinook''.〔(Michael-Oliver Harding (2012), ''Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes on Montreal junkies, Fox News and the death of cool'' )〕 McInnes co-founded ''Vice'' in 1994. He left ''Vice'' in 2007 due to "creative differences."〔Pareene. ("Goodbyes: Co-Founder Gavin McInnes Finally Leaves 'Vice'," ) Gawker (Jan. 23, 2008).〕 McInnes started the website ''StreetCarnage.com''. He also co-founded an advertising agency called Rooster where he serves as creative director. He currently writes for the web magazine ''Taki's Magazine.''〔(Takimag.com )〕 He also writes for the website VDARE.〔(VDARE )〕 McInnes was featured in a 2003 ''New York Times'' article about ''Vice'' magazine expressing his political views.〔(The New York Times )〕 In an interview in the ''New York Press'', McInnes said that he was pleased that most Williamsburg hipsters are white.〔 He has also been quoted as saying, "I love being white and I think it's something to be very proud of ... I don't want our culture diluted. We need to close the borders now and let everyone assimilate to a Western, white, English-speaking way of life."〔(''What Was the Hipster?: A Sociological Investigation'' ). 2010. Harper Collins. Google Books. Retrieved July 27, 2014.〕 McInnes later claimed in a letter to Gawker that the interview was done as a prank intended to ridicule, "baby boomer media like The Times." He became the focus of a letter-writing campaign by a black reader, and ''Vice'' apologized for McInnes's comments.〔 In 2009, McInnes convinced a journalist at ''The Village Voice'' that he had been knocked out after losing a challenge to an MMA fighter.〔Baron, Zach. ("Gavin McInnes Gets Knocked the Fuck Out," ) ''Village Voice'' (May 5, 2009).〕 The footage was actually an outtake from a failed TV pilot.〔("The Immersionist with Gavin McInnes," ) Relevant Pictures. Accessed April 5, 2011.〕 In 2010, McInnes convinced a journalist at Gawker that he had eaten a bowl of urine-soaked corn flakes after not winning their “Hipster of the Decade” competition.〔Kamer, Foster. ("Hipster of the Decade Loser Gavin McInnes Accepts 'Award' by Eating Bowl of Pissed-In Cereal," ) Gawker (January 2, 2010).〕 The footage was actually an outtake from a collection of comedy sketches called ''Gavin McInnes Is a Fucking Asshole''. In 2010, McInnes was approached by Adult Swim and asked to play the part of Mick - an anthropomorphic Scottish soccer ball - in the short-lived ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force'' spin-off ''Soul Quest Overdrive''. After losing a 2010 pilot contest to ''Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge'', six episodes of ''Soul Quest Overdrive'' were ordered, with four airing in Adult Swim's 4 AM DVR Theater block on May 25, 2011 before quickly being cancelled. McInnes blames the show's cancellation on the other cast members (Kristen Schaal, David Cross, and H. Jon Benjamin) not being "as funny" as him. In 2012, McInnes faked a serious car accident for the stand-up comedy movie ''The Brotherhood of the Traveling Rants''.〔Grant, Drew. ("Gavin McInnes Wrecks Car, 'Loses' Best Friend in An Attempt to Win Back Dignity After Observer Punking (Video)," ) The Observer (March 27, 2012)〕 That same year, he published a book of memoirs entitled ''How to Piss in Public''.〔(Gavin McInnes: An In-depth Interview With “The Godfather of Hipsterdom” | Thought Catalog )〕 In October 2013, McInnes was interviewed by ''The Huffington Post'' on a panel about the meaning of masculinity, and said "people would be happier if women would stop pretending to be men", and that feminism "has made women less happy". He explained that "Women are feigning that toughness. We’ve trivialized childbirth and being domestic so much that women are forced to pretend to be men. They’re feigning this toughness, they’re miserable." A heated argument followed when University of Miami law professor Mary Anne Franks responded, and McInnes in his reply loudly called her a "fucking idiot". In August 2014, McInnes was asked to take an indefinite leave of absence as chief creative officer of Rooster, following online publication at Thought Catalog of an essay about transphobia entitled "Transphobia is Perfectly Natural"〔 Click "Continue" link at the very bottom of the warning page to view original article.〕 (since masked due to "hateful or abusive content"〔) that sparked a Boycott Rooster movement. Rooster stated, "We are extremely disappointed with his actions and have asked that he take a leave of absence while we determine the most appropriate course of action." In June 2015, Anthony Cumia announced that McInnes will be hosting a show on his network, therefore retiring the Free Speech podcast. The show premiered on The Anthony Cumia Network on June 15 and airs Monday through Thursday at 9:30 A.M EST. McInnes is a contributor to Canadian conservative portal The Rebel Media and a regular on Fox News' Red Eye. 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「Gavin McInnes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
