sigh. I'm too messed up. The animations are blurring to look like people doing a differrent plot than what I saw them do before.
Not even Lisa Ling, who is of Asian descent, was able to fully grasp what the North Koreans were thinking or behaving a certain way when in front of a camera. The documentary she did on North Korea really lacked fundamental understanding of North Korean life and focused on sensationalist stuff. It was really disgusting (http://youtu.be/A_268_pBvPs). Shane on the other hand focuses more on how power and economy works in the given environment. He sees the situation from multiple angles, identifies where the motive is coming from, rather than just taking in everything as fact (which most of young Vice correspondents does), then starts playing the game with the locals. The man really is intelligent.
I've read a NYTimes article about Shane Smith some time ago wanting to be a playboy millionaire like Tom Freston lol (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/19/fashion/19upclose.html?pagewanted=all)
Also there's a whole Vice episode about the company and Shane Smith's background. I'm watching it right now

They go out of their way to do edgy topics though. I think you're right a bunch of the docs I've watched from them have gone nowhere. Like they gave an ambitious person a camera and said "Go!" . But more than not they do good docs. My biggest problem with Vice is their site is shit and they haven't figured out how they want to distribute their content online. They DCMA other people posting their stuff pretty quickly but don't post their own stuff themselves in a good way if at all. I heard the owner himself say his website is shit. The new youtube channel isn't very good either. My impression is that he doesn't care, but maybe it's just him becoming a billionaire and the documentary side of his empire not being a priority.

Cheers jonny! : lol. Thank you for resurrecting the video. I watched it a couple of times again myself. Good on the original poster. I don't recognize who she/he is because they are before my time of being here.
