'Vice' seems to consist of fags who blend a cutesy-poo man-boy act with lots of naughty swearwords. I have contempt for such people. Men in their 30s and 40s acting like potty-mouthed 13yr olds makes my flesh crawl. Vice is "Jackass" for guys who went to university
Vice runs scare pieces on ''the Klan'' these days too - you've jumped the shark into middle aged suburban woman territory when ''the Klan'' is this edgy, scary thing. I mean - I've gotten my ass kicked by tactical police in front of Rican roach coaches while dope sick. That's kind of a ''real'' urban experience. How can you be a ''street level'' gonzo reporter like McInnes but think "The Klan" is scary?
"Hey guys - some hard street shit here. We're documenting an *ugh* working class man who said naughty things about gay people."
McInnes and his gonzo team are exposing the seedy and terrible underbelly of urban America -- where things happen like guys make sexist jokes.
It's the same reason I don't believe Ames ever did heroin. Nobody who does skag talks about it like Ames does -- he watched ''Trainspotting'' then decided to write like some 'underground' badass with a jones

Have you taken a look in the mirror recently?

I was about to post a rant about Vice myself, last night. I use to find Vice entertaining every now and then but I've much of any respect I had for them over the past few months with their lame and poorly researched "drug" articles.
Hamilton aside (who's work has also went down the shitter), nearly every piece reads like it was written by somebody who's never actually tried and knows literally nothing about the topic their wrighting on.
Take Amphetamine Logic as a prime example of this posing. The author has literally no fucking clue what the hell she is talking about. Buying Amphetamine on street corners in NYC? lol. Yeah, I bet. Good luck finding meth on the street corner in NYC. Good luck finding amphetamine anywhere in the US other than pills.
There's another article from this week that tries to sensationalize the rise of meth use in Greece (apparently because it's called "sisa"? I'm not sure what the point of the article was or why "sisa" is so fucking mysterious, the "fillers" they point out are not new or unique... just impurities that can be in poorly made meth anywhere).
What a piece of shit that was and a lost opportunity to focus on the real problems it's users are facing. Instead they try to portray it as some mysterious dark drug, attempting to paint the epidemic in the same light as Krokodil.
What a fucking joke. I lost all respect for them after reading that piece of shit.
Then I look at the author's other articles to see if his articles are always so poorly researched/uninformed. Yup. The one on bath salts was absolutely riddled more sensational ignorance.
According to the author, NBOMEs are dangerous because they are effective in microgram doses unlike the drug it tries to immitate, LSD. Fucking dipshit...
Vice's writers are about as gonzo as Fox News. Whoever runs things should be ashamed and the editors shit-canned.

I think Joywind needs to get laid/get a life and stop trolling. Nobody gives a shit about your opinions.

A forum is a place where people meet to exchange mutually no-shits-given opinions.
People like Vice because it's sexy, but it's poor journalism for sure. I do have kind of a big crush on Slutever's Karley Sciortino, though.

Poor journalism most definitely (all one needs to see is their Scopolamine documentary to realize this).
But is it entertaining? Fuck yeah! Except when that motherfucker Hamilton Morris speaks.

Many of their articles are poorly researched and uninformed. I however love their documentaries.
-
Im 10000$ with the OP here.. Its a shame too, because some of their docs cover some interesting material, but the journalist/interviewers are just so fucking bad - they have no clue what they are talking about and almost every one of the crew is a douche bag.

Yeah, they're topics are very interesting, i don't like they're 'style' though. I still seem to learn something every time ive watched but i rarely watch, usually when im done here on the forums ill head over to youtube and fall asleep to one of their docs haha.
One thing i credit them with is that they're pretty unbiased and try to just ask questions.
Although, I am not as annoyed with them as much as you are joywind haha.
