I can't say enough about the show. Every time I screen a new episode I'm totally blown away. They strike a nice balance between art and documentary.

Posted by southshore the more and more stuff like this that comes out, the more and more problems it causes.
True enough. But. One cool thing about this show is that it in now way really talks about it as a hobby or the culture. It comes from more of a socio-historical kind of angle. With a side order of skateboarding thrown in.
Vice exposed one of the craziest abandonments in Korea, including giving away how I managed to get in. It led to way too many international travellers visiting and the property owners decided to tear it down.

And since then the place was overrun by people and it got torn down..
edit: not that the hotel was an exciting place anyway.
Considering that Vice has used photos without credit from several folks (including myself) without attribution and payment (which I'm still battling), and has used ol' Joe Melendez (aka Seph Lawless)...
Vice News documentation and everything related to it is some of the best stuff out there. But the inclusion of that stupid guy makes this "urbex" video questionable. Who even cares about that stupid guy? Not me.
I imagine that most of you know that Vice has a newish cable TV channel now. It's called Viceland. The other day I saw this trailer for a new show which premiers Sept. 2nd. While it looks like it could be kinda interesting, I feel like it's a whole bunch of unnecessary exposure. I'm curious to see what others feel/think about this.
