Title: Right now I'm thinking that if I make this look radical enough I could make you believe anything
Description: This legal-sized one-page folding-zine provides analysis  of the definition of "cool" and how it is often measured through displays of white masculinity, including toughness and violence. The essay compares films including White Trash Girl - a movie about a girl whose toxic body is used to repel enemies - and Charlie's Angels, and Fight Club.
