so Vice news bullshit is the worst now, when did that happen?

I recently noticed that I stopped giving a fuuUuUuUuck about these weekly Vice news thing and it didnt take long to remind me why; every .. single... one.. is totally one dimensional war porn, novelty medical advancements that somehow are hundreds of years from relevance, or omg the plight of being gay/trans/albino/a sihk boxer/etc.

I really dont even know what they are trying to accomplish at this point. You have to come with amazing aim to throw a rock at the world without hitting an amazing story. Robots. Autonomous weapons. VR. Designer drugs. Cyborg whores. Fags who want to die on Mars. The list is endless and incredible and yet I tune in tonight and its literally footage of human flesh hanging in trees from a rocket strike in a wanna be break away Saudi territory followed by the wacky world of Republicans Who Prefer Not To Do Business With Gays.

It's like they just sat down and said "What can we do to guarantee that anyone who ever contributed to a HuffPo comments section tunes in?"

In other news, there is an entire cable TV channel broadcasting nothing but Vice faggotry. "Weedequette" is literally a human Benetton ad smoking pot in rare and exotic locations like some hippies backyard in Orange County, or some hippies back yard in Yuba Valley. Up next, professional Ghostface sockpuppet Action Bronson, who takes daring stands on culinary trends by exposing smoked PNW salmon as "fucking delicious".

Action Bronson makes my skin crawl and I know people say this and never mean it but when he opens that fat dicktrap of a mouth I actually want to vomit, I choke up and want to puke, physically. Fuck that guy, like forever.

Fuck, I cant.

TPTB has to get their hands on all alternative media. If they didn't start VICE they thing they sure as hell control it now. They aren't even trying to hide it. Rupert Murdoch bought a piece of the company and his son was instantly given a lot of control. Them watching us is like us watching the movie "Idiocracy". Maybe they will full on put it in our face and hire Alex Jones as lead journalist. Vice is edgy for squares who think the world is still on the up and up.


With all that said the Rodman to North Korea piece was excellent. The Illuminati does great work don't ya know.

i wish you could understand/comprehend the emotions surging through me when i look at that.

Shane smith saw which way the wind was blowing and sold his soul to the liberal devils. Pretty easy to go to these hell holes when you have help from friends in the UN and the US government. If you really think you can just go to Liberia, as a pale faced white guy, and not get kidnapped then you're insane. I actually still like the old vice, I just think its becoming more political. More articles about coke binges and hookers, less political commentary.

Vice mag had some of the best American writing in the last 10-20 years. It was what Rolling Stone wanted to be if it didnt settle down and have kids.

But this whole Vice Media thing is nothing but a bubble bursting in real time, its just fucking awful.

please 90s you would have killed to hang out with action bronson his fat italian friend and whatever black guys would have you

like really tho nope.

white people aping black culture were aids even in the 90s, i wanted nothing to do with wiggers then and honestly my fascination with black culture got sanity checked somewhere around the second time the club i was in got shot up.

you probably were superrrr into reggae music for like 4 months in late 97 just playing your well worn betamax copy of the harder they come to anyone who would come over to your apt

also black streetwear was probably the only thing making stuff in your size tell us about the pelle pelle coat collection

i never had money for that shit. i dressed like amos poe by shopping at thrift stores under hospitals and getting first dibs on their weird dead old guy clothes.

YES YES YES

YES


I was actually going to make a thread ranting myself about this.

I couldn't agree more.

First off, a little history on this - a while ago I hit "like" on Facebook to the vice sites to try and find good stuff. I mean heck, I was attracted to some of the things that were reported a number of years ago... amongst other things, a couple of well played bits on North Korea, Pripyat, and there were several others but im not going to go into mentioning all of them because that really isn't the point.
Well, the whole "lets tune to Facebook to get wind of new great things" didn't last long because it was all complete garbage, and I deleted the fucking pages because it became simply too irritating to even see it on my newsfeed.

NOW, what do I see on my ATT Uverse cable network in the past month? History H2 has essentially been removed, and in its place is the Vice channel. Now, ok, I like the history channel and all, except most of the "new" stuff that can't really even be considered "history", but there were a few things I watched on and off. But they replace it with this shit?

What do I see in the shows lineup?

"F*ck that's delicious"
"Weediquette"
"balls deep"
"American Gaycation

I couldn't manage but a few seconds of any one of them.

Simply fucking TERRIBLE.

The worst part IMO is that you are going to plaster this shit pretty much right where my kid is flipping through channels. Now, im not trying to sound like a prude or anything, but its a little concerning when my young kid is asking me "whats "F*ck thats delicious"? whats "F*ck" mean?? Also dad, what is "balls deep" and a "gaycation"? We take vacations...so whats a gaycation??
Could you at least make the titles a little less mouthy?

It looks like I couldn't have been the only one to bitch about this because i looked in the last few days and a couple of the shows were literally renamed to "thats delicious" and "B. Deep"

Anyway that isn't the main reason for my displeasure - the shows are fucking terrible. What were they thinking? I cannot see this cable channel lasting long

I liked Vice much much better when you got some great shit from Shane and co...now it looks like he sold out

You guys couldn't be more further from the truth and I will explain why while I eat my lunch which will consist of Wild Alaskan Salmon later today.

Stay tuned.

It's just a Hunter S Thompson knock off magazine to begin with. Now its a billion dollar business, and shane still has "journalist" making little to no money. To be fair many similar "news" organizations like it have the same model. If you want to see how this all came to be, listen to the Joe Rogan podcast with Gavin Mcinnes, who co created the original vice. Very interesting back story on shane, he seems to be another one of these guys who promotes austerity as he criss crosses the globe in his private jet.

Shane Smith is a charlatan. On one hand, he states he wants to be the forefront leader in alt media and be a "brand that young people trust". Then, in other interviews, he says he wants to be the next CNN (which is basically a TPTB parrot retard at this point).

Paul Carr (R.I.P.) called this asshole out years ago when interviewing Smith & VICE on their stories on Liberia.

Quote:

---

“I’m sitting there going like, ‘You know? I’m not going to talk about surfing, I’m going to talk about cannibalism, because that fucks me up,’” Smith said.

“Just a sec, time out,” Carr interrupted. “Before you ever went there, we’ve had reporters there reporting on genocide after genocide,” he fumed. “Just because you put on a fucking safari helmet and looked at some poop doesn’t give you the right to insult what we do. So, continue.”

“I’m just saying that I’m not a journalist. I’m not there to report…” Smith replied.

“Yeah, obviously,” Carr shot back.

---

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLmkec_4Rfo

Carr would often call out Smith as a bullshitter......but the two were essentially friends behind the scenes, mostly because of their shared love for cocaine.

shout out to going from the face of millennial journalism to doing paid ads on facebook to reach half a million likes.

the only media of any type I consume from any of the vice outlets is Jack Slack at Fightland.

Have you ever heard of Pat Stay???

Tine, you are complaining about this type of journalism that you love to consume and disseminate yourself via Trump Thread. Sorry to say this but you are the problem that you wish to solve.

You think those sources and articles are any different? It's all identity politics. You are suffering, therefore you must be vindicated and shown to the world.

http://variety.com/2017/digital/news...eo-1202502249/


layoffs have begun.

I remember seeing this thread in early 2016, taking another look at Vice, and agreeing it had become awful.

Still confirmed.

gotta pay off that funding round somehow...god forbid you grow, just hack jobs and see if you can get there...very caesars-esque..."value creation" at its finest..

Yeah but in their defense, whats 2% of employees who are probably being paid jack shit anyway? LOL

(That is, if he's been using his same shitty business model of paying his employees next to nothing because they have the "privilege" of working for such a "cool and awesome company")

This is a hilariously good point.

The house of cards is shaking in the wind:


https://www.wsj.com/articles/vice-me...les-1518003121

free meek

The latest masterpiece from VICE is a "tech" article from their Motherboard section:

We Don't Need Cops to Enforce Traffic Laws

What is this article about? It's claiming that speed cameras are the solution to traffic law enforcement.

What?? You mean the speed cameras invented over 20 years ago, which are almost universally hated by drivers? You mean the speed cameras which generate automated citations where there's no way to question the ticket-writer regarding the circumstances under which you were ticketed? You mean the speed cameras which have been long abused by greedy localities, where limits are artificially lowered and the cameras are hidden to write mass tickets?

Yeah, those cameras. The same ones NOT allowed by 37 states, and made explicitly illegal in places like Las Vegas.

So why is this June 2020 "tech" article introducing us to much-reviled 1990s traffic enforcement technology?

Because white privilege.

You see, the author explains that police officers let white drivers off for tickets more often than they do black drivers. He never provides any evidence of this. However, that's the whole premise of the article.

Put up speed cameras everywhere, and suddenly everyone is getting ticketed at very high rates, and we're all equal! Hooray!

(Incidentally, it HAS been proven that women get ticketed at a much lower rate than men when stopped for traffic infractions -- especially women under 40 -- but the article completely ignores that, and instead goes for the unproven racial angle.)

The article does address that people hate speed cameras. However, here's how the author explains why we should put aside our hatred:

Quote:

---

“The way I translated that argument is: ‘I need to be able to argue my way out of the ticket,’” said Seo. “That argument is made by people who believe as long as they can get a hold of a human officer with discretion, they can get out of a ticket.”

Tellingly, there is a clear demographic trend among people making this argument. They’re white. In all her research on the subject, Seo said she has never come across a minority group arguing traffic cameras are bad. Police unions also lobby against automation because they say the traffic stop has become a key crimefighting tool in arresting people with guns and drugs, although there are obvious staffing implications as well.

In this way, traffic cameras are emblematic of a wider issue with white privilege; it is hard to get the beneficiaries of that privilege to give it up. As the traffic cops of the early 20th Century found, to enforce traffic laws equally bumps up against the fact that, when behind the wheel, everyone breaks the law.

---

:lol

Are you fucking kidding me?

In all of my years ranting about traffic cameras, never once have I felt that I hated them because I'm white and that allows me to talk officers out of tickets. In fact, I rarely can talk officers out of tickets because I'm male. This is why I choose to just keep quiet during traffic stops, and hope to beat it later via the legal system.

It's also laughable how they assert that black people are for traffic cameras. No, they're not. Black people hate them as much as white people do. In fact, black people who are also poor especially hate them, because they can't afford to pay the (increasingly expensive) tickets, and those cameras write far more tickets than human officers do, since they can work 24/7 and don't require a traffic stop.

Furthermore, the big legal flaw with these cameras is that you can't question them in court. It's not about being able to talk an officer out of the ticket. It's that there's no way to establish that you were speeding for a good reason -- avoiding a drunk driver, getting away from a driver acting in an erratic or threatening manner, or accidentally exceeding the speed limit for a few seconds before correcting it. Officers can assess whether these stories are true, as can a judge when you question the officer in court. A traffic camera cannot. It just clocks your speed at one moment in time, and auto-writes the ticket, recording no other information about the circumstances.

LOL at this idiotic white guilt piece, attempting to encourage proliferation of the two-decade scam known as the traffic camera, which almost 75% states have ruled are a really bad idea.

The author of this piece looks exactly what you'd expect him to look like:

https://i1.wp.com/aaronwgordon.com/w...3%2C1024&ssl=1

This 120-pound, nerdy suburban white guy is letting you know that black people actually love speed cameras.

Traffic cameras are the solution to racism, y'all! Amazing.

VICE is just mind-bogglingly bad these days.
