At present, Vice’s profits—which a source estimates were forty million dollars last year—seem to be dependent on securing and maintaining partnerships with a few major corporate clients. If you spend enough time inside the Vice empire, much of its noise and energy—the Web site and the ad network, the international offices, even Smith’s talk of global domination—can start to feel like a ruse, in the vein of its “basketball diplomacy” stunt, a show to make those partnerships happen.

someone was telling me that there was some major fallout from the exploitative libera piece they did.
CNN picked up and after it ran a few times it killed what little tourism economy librea previously had

Seriously, did anyone really not know how to capture the elusive 18-24 male market? Hint:
Also porn and poop and shocking pictures of dead things.
Not that there's anything wrong with this formula, but it should not be lofted up as some sort of standard or goal. Like, is Fareed Zakaria all, "ha ha, these cutting edge kids today and their porn and poop and guns and taking acid at dog shows!" Does he really believe this is some new vanguard, or is it strictly a salacious titillation/exploitation equals moolah calculation? (I mean, I know the answer, because the hack already works for CNN.)

If anything the piece reminded me of the infamous New Yorker essay on the band Radish, with young Ben Kweller kicking it with Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine, Tom Petty and Joe Strummer, with the whole lot all "wow, this kid's got the goods!"

Wow, so pretty safe to skip this entire April 15 issue, right? Read the meh Burton/Le Carre and that's it for me, I think.

Ah, didn;t see that one in there! Thanks!
yeah i almost wrote this issue off but then got sucked into that article and it kicked ass. Otherwise, a light issue for me. Which is fine, I can use a week off now and again.

I thought it was pretty conventional. Though for about half of it (I was distracted on the train) I was confusing Martin Ritt with Martin Brest, and I was all, wow, the guy who made "Midnight Run" and "Beverly Hills Cop" must have been really old!

the thing builds to a climax that doesn't happen. Instead of Richard Burton awesomeness we get "I coulda been Paul Scofield."

it read like half obit and half interview. if the central question around salter is "why were his books not more popular" this piece did not supply the answers. the piece in the last harper's was much more interesting.

video doesn't do it justice honestly, part of what makes twist so effective is his vision really brings you in on the spot in a tremendously immersive and persuasive way
