    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.

    Your tilt is excusable now since you are clearly Thai-ing one on.

    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.

    Fuck, I cant.

    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

    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.

    “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.


    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.
