Funny thing about Vice;
When I watch their cable channel there are occasional well done docs which seem to be well researched and fairly in depth.
However whenever I've read any article by Vice which touches upon any subculture of which I've got some knowledge, they invariably oversimplify, and usually go out of their way to highlight any piss, blood, drugs or titties they can unearth. Regardless of how representative that might be.
There is also that here in Brooklyn, Vice is pretty much universally reviled. Doesn't help that most people that write for them are pompous cokeheads.
