I like Vice, at least those on HBO cuz I don't watch it on yt. Like the last episode that was about Aceh in Indonesia. They featured how mentality of the people changed after 2004 tsunami that was blamed on people wearing western cloths, playing domino, having gay relationships, men talking to women that were not their wives and similar Biblical and Quranic nonsense. And when you see they even have religious police that patrol streets and arrests people and even whips them for doing stuff described above you feel like you're watching some exaggerated dystopian SF movie.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

On DTV they have their own channel, Viceland. Seen most of those, but not all. They certainly have some whiny and weird people/shows but I still watch when the show looks interesting. It's good for this land locked hickville conservative.
I find this tattoo show host just disturbing.

Yea they definitely do some interesting stuff. I enjoy some of the shows.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
