Vice Guide to Travel

Vice Magazine just released the first installment of their new DVD series: Vice Guide to Travel.  For their first edition, Vice correspondents, along with fellow crazy guys Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze, and David Cross travel around the world, stopping at the most undesirable, stigmatized, and dangerous locations, tempting fate and exposing the nitty-gritty details that Lonely Planet left out.

We went to such far-flung locales as the Pygmy villages of the Congo, the radioactive ruins of Chernobyl, and the bomb-pocked refugee camps of Beirut so that you never, ever have to go for yourself as long as you live. We took cameras so that we could prove that we went.

For this edition we went to the kinds of places that nobody else wants to visit.  We traveled to the corners of the world where news is happening, the forgotten locales where strange people and stories lie and where history is being made every day. This is the VICE idea of a vacation.

The DVD looks like it has retained all of the foul mouthed, derogatory, sex crazed, drugs infused, un-PC content that’s become synonymous with Vice magazine.  I, for one, can’t wait.
