I ran across one they did about water bears in space that was really interesting.
YouTube is blocked at work. Can someone summarize the link?
I'm assuming the post title is sarcastic for now, though, because the last time Vice magazine came up in conversation for me, it was a freelance writer I know complaining that they had mangled an article of hers so badly that she talked to a lawyer about whether she could keep them from publishing it. Their edits were allegedly both more sensational and pretty racist. In the end, I think it was published under a pseudonym rather than her own name, and they might have toned down the objectionable parts a bit, but you can still see the difference between the Vice version and the version that was published under her own name elsewhere.
It is actually very interesting, and arguably—arguably!—of more moment than tardigraves.
They're of so little moment that I can't be bothered to get their name right.
5. But they'll probably have the last laugh on us mere chordates.
I only watched the first installment and a bit of the second before work today, but it seems that some of the Mormon settlements George Romney left are still around, two happy little enclaves in Chihuahua, and are defending themselves in force against the cartels. Maybe something seamier about them comes up later, I don't know. (From Wikipedia they seem to have LDS-built temples, so they may have abandoned the polygamy that was the reason for their establishment.)
Yes, in the later ones he spends a lot more time with the LeBarons, and in the last two with one of Romney's cousins.

Speaking of documentaries, uh, did any other swing state Unfoggedteers get a DVD called "Dreams From My Real Father" in the mail?
10: Really? You got the "Obama's father is not really Obama, but some secret Communist?" DVD out of the blue?
That DVD?! Sort of like the AOL coasters.
I didn't get that, but VA mailed me my Voter ID Card. VA does require voter identification. DOJ didn't challenge it. This card does not have a photo. Most Voter IDs that are acceptable in VA are photo IDs. A Concealed-Handgun Permit is an acceptable form of voter identification in VA.
(There is one thing on the card that is sure to send Teahadis into a tizzy. It has a Language Preference field.)
Yes! I and everyone who lives in my house, so it's not like I'm just on some weirdo list. I wonder how widespread this is.
The only random nutjob DVD I've ever got in the mail was the one the Scientologists sent out to seemingly every journalist in Britain after the John Sweeney documentary.
L, that happened to my friends who live in the same city you do.
13: I haven't gotten one yet! I'm feeling a little hurt. I have gotten robocalls inviting me to attend local Romey-Ryan events.
it's not like I'm just on some weirdo list.
Present company excepted, I'm sure.
17: That means they think that you are not a swing voter who needs to hear the TRUTH about Obama's real father, Joseph Stalin.
20: Angela Davis was Obama's real mother.
No white man could be a Communist.
In Pennsylvania all I ever see are Obama ads. No ads for senate or congress either.
Round here there are a lot of ads for congress. The phone boxes are full of them.
In Pennsylvania, all I ever see are ads for Mark Critz and the guy who is running against Mark Critz.
I also saw a dead deer, but that wasn't on TV. It was just on the road.
In Ohio, I see trees and flowers and street signs and dogs and buildings and birds and commercials for Obama, and commercials for Romney, and commercials for Sherrod Brown, and commercials for Josh Mandel, and cats and people and clouds.
And I say to myself, "What a wonderful world."
There were two deer I kept seeing in the park by my house. Now there's only one.
To be fair, there could be a whole ton of different deer in there or this deer could have been an assassin sent from the future to kill the two deer I'm used to seeing.
32: Thanks for trying to cheer me up. I appreciate it.
Vice videos are actually terrific. I saw one on visiting North Korea (the state-sponsored musical number at the end is amazing), and hanging out with the ex-General Butt Naked in Liberia (he is now a born-again Christian, ostensibly at least). They were fantastic. There's a lack of pomposity and a cheerful willingness to just get the cameras out there and see what they see that I really like.
Also, I've been pretty surprised at the lack of attention that Romney's bizarre background is getting. Obama's background is highly unusual even if you ignore being the first black President -- grows up in Indonesia and Hawaii, absentee father who is a high-ranking official from a distant foreign country. But Romney's background is positively science fiction. I think Mormonism is a genuinely all-American form of bizarre science fiction though, it is the only (semi-major) world religion original to the U.S. and is in certain ways characteristically American, so that may have something to do with it.
Only Nixon can mock Democrats for having non-mainstream backgrounds and create an entire birther movement dedicated to harassing the president of the United States of America on a racist, fictional technicality.
