say what you will about vice as a lifestyle brand, they still manage to consistently put out content that is not only fun, smart, and engaging, but, most importantly, relevant. i picked up the vice guide to travel dvd this weekend and was totally blown away. from drunken trips to chernobyl to going to a baile funk party in the slums of rio to meeting with a guy in bulgaria who TRAFFICS NUCLEAR WARHEADS, i was blown away start to finish. by not being heavy-handed, the pieces manage to address myriad global issues in a way that is fresh and immediate. go out and buy this now. seriously.
