I was reading a piece on vice just yesterday about the pseudo-scientific practice of voluntary trepanation. maybe this is a new direction for them.

"In iridology, the stomach area is represented just outside the pupil. If people have real digestive problems, that can make this area appear more a bit more brown."
can't argue with that

Joey from Downtown Boys calls out Vice in a Vice subsidiary:
VICE itself is a great example of how punk can be co-opted by neoliberal forces. VICE began as part of a welfare program by the Canadian government, but then it got bought out, started publishing lots of gross stuff, and last year destroyed some of the most important DIY venues in the Northeast in order to build their corporate offices in Brooklyn. Among those we lost was Death By Audio, which was a very important place in giving Downtown Boys our start. Punk, then, like anything else, can be made to mean so many different things. If it’s an individualistic lifestyle brand, or a way to repackage traditional power relations, then it means nothing. We want it be mean an effort to build community in order to achieve personal and collective liberation, and build connections with other communities to further spread that message. But we can call that so many things. I personally have no particular attachment to the word “punk.”

(I'm curious about the supposedly non-gross beginnings of the magazine. Did anyone here read it before the late nineties?)

Yeah my perception was they were more gross at the onset, making a point of being "politically incorrect" etc

Oh, I definitely remember their early-oughts issues being rife with "ironic" racism/transphobia/homophobia/misogyny; I'm just curious whether that was their tack from their beginnings as a Montreal community zine. (I mean, Gavin McInnes was there from the beginning, so I kind of can't expect too much of their early years.)Xp

Viceland the TV channel is unnerving. Aside from Action Bronson every show sounds the same, every host has the same bored, disaffected tone.

Viceland has a weed cooking show. With the most annoying Top Chef contestant on the first episode, they may have reached Peak Vice.

The idea of multi-course edibles meals with THC infused wine is absolutely terrifying to me - edibles are so touchy about dose anyway and wouldn't start to hit until after you were two more courses in.

I know people are tired of VICE, but "Nirvanna The Band The Show" is an excellent mockumentary/sitcom. By that I mean the main actors try to set up a gig at the Rivioli and in the process devise all manners of publicity stunts that involve real citizens/non-actors. It hits a groove by its third episode, but it's a rare Canadian sitcom that is this truly funny or inventive. With 3 seasons planned, I imagine it will gain traction eventually.

Nirvanna the band the show is in season 2 and curiously slept on. Mining the early 90s hard (especially 1990-93) for movie/pop culture references, it's a situational comedy like curb in spirit but the mockumentary out-in-the-streets moments make it a thing of its own. Highly recommended

shakey, i understand that sentiment and agree for the most part, but this show is good and just marred by the vice name.
NI - start with the tv series, web series isn't as good or fleshed out, can always go backwards later :)
