Vice TV Reveals What I Didn’t Know I Didn’t Want to Know But Now I Do and the World Looks Different

Here’s a three-part micro-documentary by Vice about Northern Colombians and their unique relationship with donkeys. Audio is SO NOT WORK SAFE.

And, yes, the kid above is taking about what you think he is.

I know Vice magazine gets a lot of crap, maybe deserved, but I think they do a great job addressing real things real people deal with that are either too sexy, or not sexy enough, for mainstream media. Now Vice has an online TV channel, webchannel, whatever, called VBS.TV and I watch it almost every day during lunch. Their series on heavy metal in Baghdad is probably the most accurate representation of what life is now like in Iraq, which is to say I almost crapped myself just watching it. There’s way more, so I’ll post my favorites here over the next weeks.

Unrelated: I’m eating Parrano cheese, it’s between Gouda and parmesan, and having a glass of Coppola’s Rosso Shiraz, which may or may not be a good pairing, but I don’t know any better.
