I wish I had an Apple Lisa. Mostly so I could get an easy $7000

Are mascots like these what happen when they want desperately to offend no-one?
"Nope, can't have that, looks a little Caucasian"
"Nope, can't have that, looks like a bear, people are afraid of bears"
"Nope, can't have that, looks like someone from the far north of Queensland, Australia"
I mean, they've just got rid of anything that could be identified as anything and ended up with two amorphous lumps.
Well fucking done.


On the plus side they're not as bad as the London 2012 Olympics logo that most people agree looks like Lisa Simpson giving a blowjob...

Thanks

Yes, have heard of him. I would need to go and re-listen to see if it's coincidence that I've upvoted all the ones without him and none of the ones with him I think it might be...

As for adding Lisa Hannigan... I didn't really think I needed to! I spent a bit of time doing a playlist though. A few non-folk ones may have crept in along with the borderline ones. Feedback welcome.

Have you guys ever heard of Damien Rice, btw? Lisa Hannigan & him used to be a thing. She features a fair bit on his gorgeous gorgeous album "O".>> ^lampishthing:

And, cough , Lisa Hannigan...>> ^oritteropo:
I feel somewhat underprepared! Since all my favourite performers have at least one vid here on vs already, perhaps a eurofolk playlist is in order? I've been following Le Cargo, since every google search of bands I liked ended up there, and posting my favourite ones here.
For a non-exhaustive list to start, I would recommend these English bands:

• This is the kit
• Merz
• I am Kloot

I got hooked on Vice ever since watching Shane Smith doing coverage on North Korean labor camps in Russia (http://www.vice.com/vice-news/north-korean-labor-camps-full-length). This guy always seemed to know what was going on and what kind of games the people were trying to play on him, despite him coming from a non-native culture. I've never seen a Westerner fully understand the intricate socio-political games the locals play except for Shane Smith (http://www.vice.com/the-vice-guide-to-travel/vice-guide-to-north-korea-1-of-3).

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 (http://www.vice.com/spike-spends-saturday-with/shane-smith-part-1)

In reply to this comment by geo321:
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.
