Boys kill. Boys rape. Boys force kittens to jump off trampolines. They crash their parents' car, and they drink themselves unconscious. Just for the fun of it.

As spectators we are shocked. We shake our heads in disbelief as we read the horrendous boy news. But we can't stop reading.

Karl Andersson pushed this fascination to its extreme in the art project called Breaking Boy News. He launched a tabloid news­paper, a website and a magazine, which soon provoked upset headlines in mainstream media.

Meanwhile, the project gained a huge following and started to live a life of its own.

This is the story of Breaking Boy News: The idea, the realization, the reactions and the readers.

And the surprise twist.

Oh boy.
