Vice used to be pretty innovative in the beginning, then something snapped and they ended up bland.
I’m surprised they are still in business for while “Dick Amnesia is a Real Thing” [0] might be funny for some, it doesn’t seem that funny to me.
I’m not sure what Vice’s value add is over when they seemed to do some actual journalism on the Iraq war and other topics not covered 10-15 years ago.
Today they just seem like angry, failed hipsters. And I’m not sure who’s buying that.

Also I am 100% confident that I could pick every ex partner’s dick out of a lineup. It’s crazy that you wouldn’t be able to, like - you’ve had your hands on it. You’ve had it in your face, you’ve been up close and personal with it - how could you not recognize it after the fact?? What’s the point of sleeping with a guy if you don’t pay any attention to his dick?
I thought that was normal and not so much a notable condition.
I think I also wouldn’t notice elbows and other body parts.
Based on your comment, now Im feeling self-conscious like I should be able to remember all the specific dicks.
Pretty much the Spy Magazine of the digital age. With the same result.
I also liked Vice when it was a zine copying Chunklet like 20 years ago. But something changes for the worse.
I liked a certain amount of snark when it was tongue in cheek, but when it’s actually mean it’s just not fun.
My friends did some amazing work for them and got paid almost nothing. They stopped taking Vice jobs and so did everyone else who was talented.
