Woah, you have to buy it? Are you sure, I've always just seen it in piles next to other street presses. It says 'free' on it.

Who the fuck would want to read that shit if it cost money?

i think he was referring to TOKION magazine.

are those tears??? all right not even the dos and dont's,
btw I heard terry's weiner is gonna fall off anytime soon now... wash yr hair meets cinemax carpet hairs? add a couple of Op t-shirts a skull of cuorse, what else?

I'm sure I saw this guy in a shit London metal bar on Saturday night. He was thumbing through a copy of Vice left on the table by someone else and nodding.

this reminds me I was gonna send you a picture of my asscrack, you'll totally love it

If Vice is representative of social trends, I'd like to know which ones please? And aren't the specificities of these trends worth examining in terms of this 'sensibility' that paying my bills? Why should Vice be so important anyway...

"Vice magazine, known for a raw, ironic sensibility, risqué photographs and a willingness to deal in taboo subjects, is now giving Viacom a lab for Web programming."

Admittedly, I didn't even read the article, but perhaps someone else might want to.

Political comedy shows are hard to do, but Brits do it better than Yanks. The Daily Show isn't funny. I'm sorry. I've tried liking it, but it just isn't funny. In fact it's a pile of shit. The only reason people in the UK say it's funny is because The Guardian told them it was. Every time I watch it all I get is Jon Stewart staring at the camera pulling funny faces while not saying anything. I guess the main problem is that you can't make a 30 minute show every day about politics and actually make it funny and informative. Maybe Americans like it because everything else they make is for idiots. Have I Got News For You on the other hand is brilliant. It's like a weekly TV version Private Eye that has been going on for the past 18 years without ever being crap. The other week Brian Blessed hosted the show and it was one of the best episodes in a long time.

edgy

My sensiblities have just been thoroughly offended

Is the person writing that in the UK or US? I'm guessing the latter but there's no obvious way of telling

Do Americans say "pile of shit"?

They say "rootin'-tootin' pile of shit, yee-haw"

Also "brilliant"

Vice mangle my brain with the script-flippin' once again. I'll need to have a drink in the Old Blue Last to recover from this one.

"Everything you think is cool is really shit, and everything you think is shit is actually really cool! At least until next month..."

they seem to have cleaned up their act quite significantly in the last year (or two?). still not seen one thing on the tv site though.

Important discussion.
