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.

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
