North Korea is so fucking weird- Staged people sitting there just looking at a screen without doing anything LOL

1. Really fascinating video doc.

I watched the original 3 part Vice series on NK and it was surreal.

3. Vice has really come a long way since their hipster-mag days.

I was a latecomer, started reading the magazine around 2004, and found it both laugh-out-loud hilarious and, at times, staggeringly offensive.

The documentaries are great though. The one on krokodil (cheap, toxic, homemade heroin substitute) in Russia especially stayed with me.

4. I would say they do some of the best journalism in the World

You see the series on North Korean labor camps in Siberia?
