You've gotta respect Bucky Turco. The editor in chief of Animal New York, Turco is a streetwise guy who once unmasked the defiantly anonymous art-world star Banksy by publishing (alleged) pictures of him while manning Complex Magazine's blog, and promptly got a cease-and-desist from a representative law firm. Then after leaving "Marc Ecko's shopazine" (his words) to run Animal full-time, Turco later got his hands on pre-PhotoShopped images of Complex cover girl Kim Kardashian—always a boon for website traffic—and later became the first person to wrangle an interview with Kari Ferrell, the chest-pieced beard-loving con artist who came to be known as the Hipster Grifter. Turco has since remained pen pals with Ms. Ferrell; meanwhile, his crew of contributors (like Cajun Boy and Will Sherman) keeps "cultureholics" (their word) abreast of drug-ephemera updates, graffiti-writer hijinks, and women who Twitter about having their periods. Say what you want, but this man sure knows how to capture local Internet attention.
