Top fucking kek

Cara Ellison is no better, she only interviews trans dick-cutters and people she's fucked, and what comes out on paper is worse than a traditional paid ad.

If Schilling is throwing you off then go check out Curt Schilling. You may know him as either "that world series winning pitcher" or as "the guy that cost Rhode Island $75 million when 38 Studios hit bankruptcy." Was his company and involves a lot of shady backroom deals with politicians and loans that his company outright knew were impossible. Been three years and they are still fighting it out in court hoping everyone forgets.

I don't know if there's any family connection between the two as this isn't my dig but it's a name associated with shitty businessmen at this point.

>So — I’m to believe — an officer can type a name into his phone but an ~$800/hr lawyer can’t? This seems more like a perversion of the law in favor of a client. In Ontario, dishonesty is grounds for suspension. But unlike Vice, I’m a pretty forgiving guy — willing to accept an apology.

Ask Gregory Alan Elliott.

Christ, they've even got a guy NAMED "Schilling" on their roster now. This is gonna be a good watch, lemme put on some popcorn.

She's not too bad looking. Someone post her sexy towel pictorial.

Supposedly there is even MORE dirt if you go back to the 90s and the rumors of how Shane staged his coup to basically get rid of Gavin McInnes when Shane decided Gavin had to go in order to make Vice 100% Social Justice (Gavin is right wing and had several slip ups where his right wing true nature was shown, which caused Shane much grief since he's a hardcore liberal).

Of the later, Gavin was forced to agree to a NDA clause on his departure to keep Shane from robbing Gavin of his fair share of the company, when he was fired. But rumors are circulating that the third founder of Vice, who supported Gavin, was abused and manipulated and generally gas lighted through Shane exploiting his heroin addiction, to keep him from coming to Gavin's rescue and keep him from being forced out.

The former is much more dicey as Gavin has recently made statements that Vice was created solely to they could scam money from the Canadian government to spend on whores and drugs and using the leftover cash to run Vice (which they stole from it's original founders in a hostile takeover), to which Shane was a full and willing participant in such matters.

And there have been rumors that Shane may have fucked underage women in the 90s, while plying them with cocaine and heroin and other drugs.

>>310266

This is old news.

TLDR: her new website was bombing and she was seeing the writing on the wall regarding Gawker's potential impending demise, so she decided to go to Vice, as an advance agent to take as much power as she can so that she can give Gawker refugees a place to go straight to, when Gawker crashes and burns after the Hogan lawsuit kills them

>>310405

wow vice is that old? Fuck mate thsi could be a movie.

Vice was good when it was visiting North Korea and Russian Jesus and other places. Now it's just clickbait.

>>310253

We really need to hit Vice's advertisers hard.

>>310355

Ewwww. She looks like fat Sarah Jessica Parker plus another ugly Hollywood fat old actress.

>>310322

Should note that Curt Schilling is a hardcore conservative. He famously shilled for George W Bush in 2004 after winning the world series that year his team, the Red Sox won the World Series and his company's failing was widely cheered as "karma" by a lot of SJWs in the video game industry due to Curt's different political views.

>>310433

Vice started in the 90s, was Canada only until around 2002, when they set up offices in NYC and the magazine became available in the US.

And given Shane Smith now controls Vice and is super evil with anyone daring to anyone investigating it, as OP has revealed, ANY Vice Magazine movie would probably have to be a roman a clef version: IE all the names changed for the principals and organizations to avoid law suits.

That being said, there already DOES exist a fictionalized version of Vice: Sugar Ape, the magazine featured in the TV show Nathan Barley, that was shitting on Vice back in the day in the early 00s, when Gavin was controlling the magazine and just a random Canadian hipster with a handlebar mustache no one knew and Shane Smith was an even bigger nobody.

>>310472

>>310405

The funny thing is… all you have to do is read The VICE guide to drugs and the VICE guide to sex and maybe a couple back issues. Fuck, if you just get a collection of all their back issues, the story will play out right in front of you.

Gavin, Saroosh, and Shane got together and signed up for a Canadian version of welfare to work. That meant they had to get placed in jobs, the jobs they got were with Voice of Montreal. Voice of Montreal was a culture magazine run by black people.

The three of them staged a hostile takeover of the magazine and forced the original publisher, Alix Laurent, to take a buyout.

They then moved production to New York City.

After that, as these posts said, Shane used Saroosh's heroin addiction to control him so that they could form a majority to push Gavin out for the crime of wrongthink.

Shane had figured out that their target demographic were the vapid lefty proto hipsters of the early 2000's. Those hipsters wouldn't tolerate contributions from someone like McInness.

The funny thing is… it's all in the pages. Smith is far from what he pretends to be. He's even said in interviews that he started Vice so that he could get access to cocaine and models.

According to the moors of his target demographic, though, that is rape and he is a patriarchal supporter of rape culture.

And Shane does everything in his power to silence anyone who would point that very obvious and verifiable fact out.

He's a huckster and a con artist.

It's too bad. I used to like Vice. When their online presence started to get big, I considered trying to get work for them. Then I found out that there was one big problem.

Millionaire Shane Smith doesn't like to pay his employees. So, he relies on a force of unpaid interns who can afford to live in NYC without income and who will swallow all the koolaid served in the office so they can be associated with a cool brand.

>>310253

>>Vice legal team’s accusations of harassment…

Since when can an electronic magazine get harassed

>>310473

I have a bunch of their back issues (mainly from the 2005-2012 range) but ironically none of their "Vice Guides to" books. I take it they have detailed pieces written by Shane and Gavin, where both detail how they stole Vice from the original owners and Shane himself bragging about his shameless degeneracy?

>>310480

I think that the story of Voice becoming Vice is catalogued in one of their guides. Definitely in Smith's Rogan interviews and other interviews they've done.

The degeneracy is all over their copy, definitely in their books and magazines.

>black hole

das racist

>>310472

Haha, Nathan Barley himself started out on TV Go Home, a website (and later a hilarious book, itself with a Vice-style mag called Nowbiter) run by one Charlie Brooker. The same Charlie Brooker who now does 20XXWipe TV shows at the end of each year. The one in the year of shirtgate hilariously swallowed the media narrative, acting as if the SJW slant on shirtgate was the majority opinion, when anybody with reasonable apprehension or eyesight could see it clearly wasn't.

But I recall a post on here saying his SJW swing is a fairly recent thing. Perhaps he'll swing back when it becomes more clear which way the wind's blowing?

…or maybe he'll be the first person to say "Chanterculture" on TV, on 2015Wipe?

>>310566

Booker was always a SJW. He's just only now letting his lunatic fringe flag fly openly since he's become famous and been accepted into the echo chamber of rich SJW types.

And his bashing Vice was, context-wise, could be seen as an extension of the loony left (especially in the UK) towards "lad mags". The SJW/left horde in the UK long hated "lad mags" like Vice, Maxim, etc because they promoted the ideas of white men in their 20s having a great time drinking and watching soccer matches and stuff, along with basically pushing boundaries in terms of scantily clad women wearing just enough clothing to keep the mag from being declared X-Rated.

Hory shit.

You should read this article. I'm not even halfway through and Smith turns a reporter's opinion to his favor by giving his daughter an internship at Vice.

I wonder if he got a beej from her.

And he fucking claimed to have heen writing for reuters in the mid 90's. That's a pathalogical level of bullshit.

When I started watching Charlie Brooker's 2014 wipe, at first I thought he was just a well-meaning dupe, misled by uncritically accepting the narrative. As it continued, I became less and less sure of this. To me at least, the clinch was when he called this long-haired guy a monkey. Multiple times. After whinging about racism. Now I don't know much about him (looks like a bit of a tosser actually), but you can bet your ass Brooker will never call a woman or a minority a monkey. And he'll never take SJWs who say things that unambiguously go beyond the pale (like Tait) to task while immediately jumping on any faux pas from the other side. Because he doesn't really believe in equality. Because he puts women and minorities on a pedestal above reproach. Because he's playing to a demographic that believes it's okay when they do it.

tl;dr Brooker is full of shit. He doesn't care about racism or misogyny, he's just telling an intended audience what they want to hear. He isn't an innocent swept up in the media revisionism, HE IS A MEDIA HISTORY REVISER.

I have a huge collection of back issues for Vice and it's pretty much impossible to chart ANY sort of growth/downhill spiral from them, due to the shitty way the issues are put together.

The magazine is a joke, articles are ultra obscure bullshit even with the gimmick of each issue being a theme. They waste huge amounts of page space for their photos and ads that are only relevant if you live in NYC area.

The only thing that has any sort of coherent "voice" is the section where Gavin mocks peoples clothing and and even then, Gavin doesn't really do much to promote himself as the brainchild of said regular feature.

Even taking into account Gavin hiding his power level, there is no real voice or tone in ANYTHING. It's like random shit padded with ads from their hipster friends stores and full page photo after full page photo which often don't even have much to do with the theme of each issue.

>>310944

>They waste huge amounts of page space for their photos and ads that are only relevant if you live in NYC area.

Did they have a NYC and a Montreal edition at the same time or did they just move from Montreal to NYC? I'm from Montreal. I wasn't a fan I just picked up Vice when I saw one at the metro station. I was in high school and I thought it was entertaining, it was good toilet time literature. I don't remember much about it but it was funny and juvenile. Not at all something you would take seriously.

When did they start becoming "serious"?

>>315490

Regarding that picture:

The truth is a little bit from column a, a little bit from column b.

To say that the drunk fans did not crush eachother to death is just as wrong as saying the police were completely competent and able to deal with the situation.

>>315491

1989: Complete bullshit, all of it. Because it's a fact that even in totally sober crowds, people have been crushed to death.

2011: Too little, too late.

>Mr Hooton said phone hacking at the News of The World, owned by the same company as The Sun, has brought the actions of tabloid papers "back into the spotlight."

>He said: "There are direct parallels between what happened in 1989 and the cover up and what has been happening in the last few years with the News of The World and other papers."

Ergo: The frontpage of 1989 wasn't a fluke.
